" another 10 per cent of the receipts 51-YEAR RECORD BROKEN BY 1924 GROWING SEASON 218 Frost-Free Days Set Nebraska Record for Half Century No vember 6 First Freeze. From Monday's Daily Here's a problem for scientists and "weather sharks," who claim that the northern hemisphere of the world is on the way to another ice age. Instead, the facts are more likely to be that the equator is moving up northward, toward Nebraska. For, according to announcement of the Omaha weather bureau Saturday, the longest growing season in the history of the department in Omaha occurred this year. That is, the time between the last freezing tempera ture last spring, April 1, and the first freezing temperature this fall, which was last Thursday, November 6th, was 21S daj-s. The longest previous growing sea son in Omaha since the establish ment of the weather bureau in 1873, occurred in 1SS2, when the growing season was 213 days. Fall Continues Warm This record was made in spite of the fact that the summer just passed went down in records as being a cool summer The fall, however, has been a comparatively warm one to date. A distinction between the date of the "first killing frost" and the date of the end of the growing season is made. The growing season is re corded as ending the first day of the fall, when the temperature goes be low 32. However, it has to get low er than that for an official killing frost, as many plants survive the temperature of 32 unless it is pro tracted. Saturday, when the temperature was down to 26 between 6 and 7 a. m., was recorded by the weather bu reau as the day of the first killing frost for the fall of 1924. CORN CROP IN STATE SHOWS BIGDECREASE U. S. Figures Show Production 75 Million Bushels Less than a Year Ago Prices Up. Washington, Nov. 10. The small est corn crop since 1913 was the reward of American farmers this year who planted the fifth largest acreage to that crop in the history of farming. Not only was the har vest substantially below those of the last four years, but the mer chantable quality of this year's crop is the lowest in thirty years, with the exception of 1917. Preliminary estimates of produc tion issued today by the depart ment of agriculture, placed the crop at 2,477, 53S. 000 bushels, the acre age at 103,004.000 or 1.4 per cent more than last year, and the mer chantable quality of the crop as 63.2 per cent. Corn production during the last four years has averaged more than 3 billion bushels. The preliminary production esti mate for Nebraska was 197,S56,000 bushels. The figures for 1923 were 272,052,000 bushels. The figures for Iowa were given as 326,640,000 bushels. The white potato crop, estimated at 454,119,000 bushels, is slightly larger than the big crops of 1917 and 1922 yield in northern states running far above earlier expecta tions because in some regions the crop escaped frost and continued errowinir lar into October. Prices will be reasonable, department offi cials say. Corn production averaged 23.5 bushels per acre this year as com pared with 29.2 bushels last year and 27.6 bushels for the ten-year average. Over most of the corn belt, favorable for maturing and drying crop. Sections that were not frosted made material gains over earlier expectations and increase of about 19,000,000 bushels in the total crop over last month resulted. The favor able weather improved the quality of the crop much more than seem ed probable. Much corn that was frosted in Iowa, the largest produc state, and other states, had dried out with a minimum of souring and molding, though much of the frosted corn is chaffy, shrivelled and loose on the cob COUNTIES SHARE IN MONEY FROM TREES Three Nebraska Districts Get Twenty-five Per Cent of Re ceipts of Forests. Three counties in Nebraska re ceived $2,794,38 from the receipts on national forests located ' within their boundaries according to a let ter received by the governor from the forester's office in Washington. This sum amounts to 25 per cent of the total receipts from the Ne braska national forest for the fis cal year of 1924. The receipts from this forest are apportioned among the counties in which it lies, ac cording to the net forest area in each. Cherry county, containing the largest forest area, receives $1,571.71; Thomas county, second, receives $1,079.58 and Blaine county, third, receives $143.09.

Divorces showed a more rapid rate of increase than marriages last year, census bur eau statistics announced today, showing the number of divorces were 11 per cent more than in 1922, while the number of marriages were only 8.4 per cent larger than the previous year. Marriages numbered l,223.S2ij as compared with 1,129.045 in 1922 while divorces granted numbered 165,139 against 14S.815. Nebraska was the only state in which there was a marked decrease in marriages, it being about 25 per cent. Census bureau officials explained that was due to some extent to an amend ment to the marriage law in 1923 requiring the posting of an applica tion for marriage licenses for ten days before the license is issued. Decrease in number of divorces was recorded for Arkansas. Dela ware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Nebraska and New Jersey, while South Carolina had none, all laws permitting divorce there having been repealed in 1878.
