Badly Bitten by Cat
Last Saturday evening as Ed Bor
nemeier and family were coming to
town and had just driven from their
home to the turn two miles north to
come to town, their little daughter
noticed a cat caught in the fence by
the toes of one of its hind feet and
hanging there -unable to get loose.
She asked her father to stop so
that she could release the cat. How
ever, he told her to take a robe from
the car and throw it over the cat
so that it could not scratch her.
Nevertheless, the cat which had no
doubt been hanging there for some
time was friehtened and almost in a
state of spasms, succeeded in grab-
Ding the little girl s arm with its
teeth and clawg and she was unabla
to get loose without assistance and
then not until Bhe was severely bit
ten and scratched.
Ed then started to town and the
Ford car began to cause some trou
ble and this, coupled with the fact
that the little girl was suffering a
great deal with the injury, and he
was anxious to get her to the doctor,
caused him a great deal of anxiety.
She is getting along as well as could
be expected under the doctor's care
and it is thought that no serious re
sults will follow from her experience
with the feline. It is supposed that
the cat was caught in the fence when
it made an effort to jump over the
same. Leader Echo.

include green feed and grit. Milk
should be supplied if available.

GREAT GORM CROP
FOR NEBRASKA 15
EXPERT FORECAST
Hot, Wet Weather of Last Two
Weeks is Bonanza to Farmers
Of This State.
Lim-oln. Neb.. June 2 4. A short
ened small grain crop, but on? ' the
greatest corn crops ir. history is th
prediction for Nebraska being made
here today by grain men, officials at
the state college of ag! icilture and
heads of the federal depart rnf-nt of
agriculture branch office in Lincoln.
The hot. dry weather of ti-e weeks
preceding the last two, materially
shortened the small grain crop was
the word given the World-Herald
unanimous!- from all of the.-o : u
thorities. but what damage was .1
in that field was more Than repaired
by the erect of the hot, wet weather
of the U.st two weeks upon the corn
crop, officials said. Corn at the pres
ent time is standing for above what
is usual for this time of the year, it
was said on every" hand, and the
weather is continuing ideal for its
growth.
The hot. dry spell of May has been
followed .by an amount of moisture
which greatly exceeds normal over
almost every portion of the state,
weather bureau officials said, and
this moisture accompanied by the
heat is what lias made the corn crop.
Harvest on in Southwest
The wheat crop is admitted!'
short, and beyond help from the
weather. In the southwestern part
rf the state the harvest is already
beginning, and it will be on all over
the state very" shortly. Reports to
farm agencies here have been unani
mous in stating that r. large part of
the wheat crop of the state vill net
bo worth cutting.

have been injured will probably fill

Wheat Quality Eetter
The wheat crop of th? states v.iil

.of the Wilsey Grain Co.. estimated.
Wilsey estimates that the gre..te-t
damag1 to tlw wheat crop wa ? don
e::st ct" H.'stings and so'ith of the
Platte river, and that othfr section-;
of the state, which have hud a near
er normal rainfall will have nearly a
normal wheat crop.
Ottoer authorities believe uhiV the
wheat crop will have only about two
thirds of th.e normal volume in b i'h
els. tho duality will neatly mak tip
the difference. Much of the really
poor wheat was abandoned by farm
ers early in the dry spell, thc.se ex
perts believe, and the grout' I was
planted to other grains. The wheat
which was left to grow, it is Lr ;i. ved.
was the best of the state's -r p. and
should be of extra qualities. New
wheat moving into markets thM far
has been bringing about "0 p-r cent
