HEAVY RAIN SOUTH
From "Wednesday's Daily
The rain that fell here early this
morning was evidently the northern
end of a very extensive storm that
visited the southern portion of Cass ;
county. Travelers on the highway
from the south report a two inch
rain in Union and vicinity and which
extended to the west for veral
miles. In this city the rainfall was
light but has had a most beneficial
effect on the vegetation and farm
crops. The rain was not heavy enough
to interfere with travel and the cars
were coming through over the high
way this morning as usual without
any difficulty.

CORN PLANTING IS
2 WEEKS AHEAD
OF NORMAL HERE
Start of Season Points to Good Year
for Crop ; Large Yield Will Be
a Big Help.
From Tuesday's Dally
Corn planting is two weeks ahead
of normal in the Nebraska territory.
Regardless of the last few days of
cold weather, farmers have gone
right on planting corn. There is an
old saying that it is time to plant
corn when the oak leaves are as large
I as a squirrel's ear. It this sign hold?
I good this season, corn planting time
has long past. The advantages of an
early season have always been wel
come in the corn belt. A season such
as Nebraska has had tnis spring is
advantageous in many ways. It has
permitted the farmer to get his early
seeding done and out of the way be
fore time to do plowing for corn. It
has warmed up the soil so that corn
planted will not be held back by cold
wet conditions. This should be a corn
year for the corn belt.
The Nebraska Farmer editorially
says:" "The main object of cultivation
is to kill weeds, and not, as was for
merly thought, to provide a dust
mulch or conserve moisture. There
are no hard and fast rules for culti
vation of corn, according to Professor
Kiesselbach of the Nebraska station.
He is of the opinion, however, that
three cultivations are desirable under
any conditions. Additional cultiva
tions will depend upon the presence
of weeds or upon the compactness of
the surface soil. Where heavy rains
have left the surface hard or baked
cultivation will no doubt make the
soil more receptive of later moisture
that may fall.
"At the Illinois station experi
ments have indicated that the need
for cultivation of corn Is no greater
in dry years than in wet ones, or
possibly not as great, unless it be on
heavy soils which check badly. In the
latter instance, cultivation may be
necessary to fill up these cracks and
retard the loss of moisture from the
subsoil. It is further suggested by the
Illinois station that shallow cultiva
tion is preferable to deep, to con
trol weed growth. This conforms to
the views of Professor Kiesselbach
who recommends cultivation close to
the corn when it is small and shallow
cultivation at some distance from the
plants as they become larger."
Many acres of land which have
been seeded to alfalfa during the past
are being plowed up and planted to
corn this year. The alfalfa winter
killed this year more than it has for
several years. This alfalfa land will
make splendid corn land,
Feeders are just "sitting tight" im
- vield are estimated. A large corn crop
wm WOrk wonders in bringing back
tne BO-called era of prosperity.

CITY LOSES CASE
FOR THE BROKEN
ELECTROLIER
County Judge Duxbury Finds for Ray
Dowd in Case Brought to Col
lect Price of Post.
From Tuesday's Daily
The greater part of the time of the
county court yesterday was occupied
in hearing the case wherein the City
of Plattsmouth was the plaintiff and
Ray Dowd was the deiendant, charg
ing Mr. Dowd with carelessness in
parking his car that resulted in the
breaking of one of the electrolier
posts on Main street and tor which
the city sought to recover damages.
The offense charged occurred a
year ago last November when the
defendant, Dowd, had parked his car
in front of the office of Dr. T. P.
Livingston, for a few moments while
he had gone in to secure some medi
cine. During his absence, a matter
of a very few moments the car in
some wTay got away or was turned
loose and proceeded to start out on a
journey of its own. The car, a very
large and heavy one had moved down
the hill a short distance until gain
ing considerable headway and had
then crossed the Main street park
ing and eventually landed up against
the electrolier post at 6th and Main
street, breaking the post and the
lamp globe.
The city contended that if the car
had been properly parked and the
breaks set that th could not
have got away and did the damage
and that the owner of the car should
be responsible for this damage. The
defence was that the car had been
parked with the front wheels against
the curb and in a position where they
could not get loose unless someone
had set the car loose.
There was some conflict in the tes
timony as to the circumstances fol
lowing the wrecking of the post, the
defence stating that William Hinrich-
sen, then assistant chief oi police.
had taken the defendant to the coun
ty jail where C. D. Quinton, then
sheriff had been aroused from his
slumbers a3 it was late at night, and
he had told the police that it would
be all right to let the defendant go
on home. This was the testimony
given by the defendant Dowd. and
which was borne out by the testi
mony of Mr. Quinton as to the main
facts as he had told the police that
Dowd lived here and was not likely
to run away from the charge that
might be filed against him. The facts
as to calling on the sheriff for advice
In the matter had been denied ty
Mr. Hinrichsen.
After the evidence had been sub
mitted and the arguments or L-iiy
