JOSEPH LIDGETT, Union, Nebraska CORN CROP INCREASES 50 MILLION BUSHELS Nebraska Production Is Estimated at Around 251,859,000 Bushels. Lincoln, Neb. An increase in the Nebraska corn crop of almost 50 mil ion bushels over last year is indicated by the state and federal crop report for July, issued here today. With the corn in excellent condition and the acreage increased 4 per cent, a production of 251,S59,000 bushels is estimated, compared with 203. 2S0, 000 bushels last year. The heaviest increase is in the southeastern quar ter of the state where corn replaced w heat. "Stands are good, the corn crop is fuitiier advanced than usual for this date, and is in a good state of culti vation," the report said. "The condi tion is 93 per cent." Winter wheat was reported as evry uneven, but meeting previous ex pectations, while most of the spring grains deteriorated somewhat. Pas tures and hay crops were improved, but potato acreage is lower, the sum mary of Nebraska crop conditions showed. Winter Wheat Falls OS. "The condition of winter wheat is C3 per cent, indicating a crop of 33, .'177.000 bushels as compared with 34.4S3.000 bushels last year," con tinued the report. "While the crop is very uneven, the heads are of good length, and if well filled, may exceed expectations in yield. The crop is much better in western Nebraska. While June rains delayed maturity somewhat the harvest was earlier than usual. Stocks of old wheat on farms are estimated at 5.3 per cent, or 3.027,000 bushels. "The condition of spring wheat is SO per cent, indicating a crop of 2.14 6,000 bushels as compared with 2,632.000 bushels last year. Condi tions have been very favorable in western Nebraska where the bulk of the crop is grown. All wheat totals 35.523,000 bushels, compared with 57,115.000 bushels last year. "Oots deteriorated 9 per cent dur ing June. The heaviest loss took place in southern counties, where the 'Top was too far advanced to receive much benefit from the June rains. The condition is good in the north ern sections. The present condition of 73 per cent forecasts a crop of 69,114,000 bushels as compared with 76,136.000 bushels last year. Earley at 75 Per Cent. "Barley is rated at 75 per cent. having deteriorated 10 per cent dur- ng June, due to drouth. The fore cast is 5 million 925 thousand bush els as compared with 6 million 275 thousand bushels last year. The crop was early and much of it did not re ceive material benefit from the June rains. "The condition of rye is S4 per cent which indicates a crop of 1 mil lion 9S6 thousand bushels against 1 million 914 thousand bushels last year. Conditions have been more favorable in western sections where most of the crop is produced. "The area of potatoes is estimated at 56 thousand acres as compared with 89 thousand acres last year. The condition of 8.3 per cent fore cast a crop of 6 million 811 thou sand bushels as compared with 7 million 743 thousand bushels last year. Frost and dry weather injured potatoes in eastern sections of the state. Conditions are very favorable in western commercial sections. "The condition of all tame hay is 74 per cent, indicating a crop of 2 million 947 thousand tons against million 717 thousand tons last vear. Drouth ana rrost injury to al falfa is responsible for the marked decrease. Wild hay fared better, and the condition of 70 per cent forcasts a crop of 1 million 923 thousand tons against 2 million 173 thousand tons last year. The condition of hay- crops follows: Alfalfa 74 per cent; clover, 71 per cent; timothy, 73 per cent; millet, sudan and tho forage crops are in excellent condition. TRY OUT NEW PHOTO FILM Rochester. X. Y. July. 14. Lieut. George W. Gaddard of the army air service and Dr. S. M. Burka, govern ment physicist, are testing a new- process which may make possible the taking and developing of pictures in an airplane in seven minutes. The new process, which photo graphic experts say will be an in valuable aid to war-time photog raphy, was worked out for the army by Dr. C. E. Kenneth Mees. director of the research laboratory of the Eastman Kodak company. The pic tures are taken on a special film which presents a negative that can be read as readily as a positive print.

The old radish and lettuce rows, the first pears, and the beans that are stripped for table use may be clean ed out and carrot, beet, rutabaga, kohlrabi, turnips, and Chinese cab bage seed planted in the space. If a few flat head cabbage have been planted, they should be set out for the late fall cabbage and the heads to be buried for winter use. These late vegetables will not be as course and woody as those planted In the spring. Use Fruits and Vegetables. Serve vegetables at least twice a day to the family. Such vegetables as cabbage, spinach, and lettuce do not yield many calories, but they supply other necessary materials. They are the chief source of lime and phosphorous for bones and teeth, and for the iron which is needed by the blood. They contain other min erals and also vitamines which are essential to health. Fruits supply minerals and vitamines as well as the vegetables so they should be serv ed at least twice a day also. Fruits and vegetables will help to keep each member of the family in good health. Watered Stock for Farmers. If farmers deal in watered stocks, the stock should be hogs and cattle and horses and chickens and the water should come from a good well and be handy and fresh all the time. Helpless farm animals cannot drink out of a jug or successfully operate a pump handle so it is up to the farmer to furnish the water supply. Too often water is missing even tho the stock is housed in high priced barns and is fed high priced feeds. Water is an absolute necessity in normal action of the body and in the digestion and absorption of the food. In the absence of water waste cannot be properly eliminated and the ac tion of all the vital organs is hinder ed, body temperature is increased and the utility of the animal is ser iously shandicapped. Give Her a lasting Vacation. In order that the poultry flock continues to make a satisfactory showing as to income thru the sum mer months, any hen that shows a tendency to be living at the expense of the others should be "culled" and gotten out of the flock. Hens that are old. inactive, overfat. that molt aerlj' in the summer, that have yel low beak and shankr, in case they belong to one of the breeds of which a yellow color is required; and also hens that do not show good body capacity should be culled out and marketed. Hens that are active and alert, that molt late, that show a fad ed appearance to the shanks and beak, in case they are of a yellow shank variety, and also hens which show a good body capacity should be kept free from lice and mites. Care should be taken that a complete ra tion which should include a dry mash mixture, is provided thruout the summer. More particulars as to how to select hens for egg production or as to mixing good mash ration may be obtained from your county ex tension agent or from the agricult ural college. vvrr CEDAR CREEK mmlmmlmimmlmlm'im "i" William Schneider lost a valuable work horse last week with colic and is receiving the sympathy of his friends and neighbors.

PLATTS WINS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS EAGLES Locals Flay Gilt Edged Ball Against Fast Iowa Team and Win Battle By Score of 2 to 1. From Monday's Daily Yesterday afternoon at the Broad way park at Council Bluffs, the local baseball crew trimmed up the team representing the Eagles of the Iowa city by thescore of 2 to 1, the game being on the the best that the crew has participated in this season and one in which not a bobble was re corded against the fielding of the Plattsonians. The efforts of the Eagles was large ly confined to the hurling of young Orville Phillips, who In his sojourn on the hilltop whiffed some thirteen of the local batsmen, retiring those who were usually strong with the big club, the only showing against Phil lips being made by Hans Newman, the mlghtly local shortstop, who banged the ball around the lot at will and caused the downfall of the Council Bluffs crew. Hans annexed two triples and a double during the game, which with the single of Wil liam H. Mason constituted the only hits of the day. While Swanson, local slab artist, allowed nine hits they were well scattered and did little damage as the fielding of the Plattsmouth team was the best ever and pulled down the chances of the Iowans to win the hot and well played game. A large number of Plattsmouth fans made the journey to Council Bluffs to enjoy the game and assist in cheering the locals on to victory. In the opening of the first stanza of the game Plattsmouth took the lead and garnered their two tallies that were to give them the victory over their opponents. Joseph McCar ty, heady center fielder of Platts mouth, opened the battle and was awarded a base on balls owing to the fact that Phillips could not locate the plate and while resting at first was sacrificed to second by Herold Herb Klauschie was unable to solve the slants of Philips and retired when along came Hans who nicked Phillips for the first triple of the game and as the result McCarty scored. Newman registered when Ilanley, the Eagle catcher failed to hold one of the swift ones of his slab artist. Thereafter the scoring features of the game was over as far as Plattsmouth was concerned as Johnson retired on a grounder to Vinoe Satrapa at second. The Eagles scored their lonely tal ly in the third frame on a combina tion of two hits. Shea was retired. Herold to O'Donnell, when Bates first baseman of the Eagles scratched a safe one to right field and from the first station registered when Vince Satrapa lifted a hard one to center that looked good to alight In the boulevard for a homer but which was good for only three bags. The Eagles had rosy dreams of victory in the seventh but a fast double play checked their hopes. Schneider lifted a long fly to John son in the ngnt garden mat was safely snagged when Miller rapped a masty one to left that bounced out of reach of Mason, who had made a long run from the field for it, this giving the fans hope of a score, this was dashed when Shea hit a fly to Newman who threw to Herold and caught Miller off the bag and retired the side. Sam Moye, who lives in both Plattsmouth and Council Bluffs did the umpiring back of the plate and proved a very competent indicator handler. The box score of the game was as follows: Flattsmouth AR H TO A K 0 4 0 0 0 4 5 0 0 5 10 3 2 3 0 0 0 10 0 10 0 0 10 0 110 0 0 0 2 0 4 27 12 0 i.

Every Day i DeLtval Service Day! Plattsmouth Implement Oompany WWW DISCUSSES THE THEORY OF EVO LUTION IN PAPER Attorney A. L. Tidd Presents Views In Support of tne Bible The ory of the Creation. Editor Journal: Dayton, Tennessee, is today the most important center of attraction, with Clarence Harrow, rthe self styled agnostic, and William Jen nings Bryan, a fundamentalist, the leading actors. While this drama is being staged in the little mountain town in eastern Tennessee, the com mon folks may well afford to turn to the Old Book, has brought comfort to its millions during periods of sor row. How does the Bible stand by com parison with the teaching of the world's greatest philosophers. When we turn to the field of natural his- : tory, what do we find. The Old , Testament alone contains more than i 250 botanical terms, and in all of ; its references, descriptions and hy potheses, there has not "et louna any inaccuracy ... any oi i"!great ,noral declension A-l 10 ...Ill iU : . l I L Ulupare 11 uu win i fun u wuu Aristotle anti an me wunu s pieai philosophers and socalled scientists from their day down to Darwin and the evolutionists of today, and where can there be found a better record. Genesift 1:12 says, "Ana tiie eartn brought forth grass and herb yield - ing seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in it - self, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." Botanists today are classifying plants according to what is known as the seed method, being the same identical method em- ployd by Moses, in this famous Crea- tion chapter of Genesis. Even the geology of the plant world is with auBuiuie uuncuii uo first chapter of the Bible. What do we find when we turn to the zoological branch of science? In this same Creation chapter, we find that Moses with perfect accuracy dis- closes the fact that animal life in- habited the sea before appearing up- on land; he gives correctly the geol- ogy of animal life, and likewise with perfect precision enumerates the four great divisions of the animal creation, as now taught by the most approved science, namely, fishes, rep - tiles, birds and beasts. The Bible aescrn.os numerous Kimis or animal life, from the leviathan to the snail, and from the lion in the forest to the moth upon the garment, with the greatest accuracy It sneaks of the industry ami provident character of the ant, which was at one time im'iu,lu,u D""r "VV . .'.

But, I hear someone say, "How about the Bible and geology?" Chancellor Sir William Dawson, af ter a most patient and critical study of the subject in summing up the result of his investigation of what may be termed the geology of Moses, said: "The order of creation, as stat ed in Genesis, is faultless in the light of modern science, and many of its details present the most remark able agreement with the results of sciences born only In our own day." Then, I hear another say, "How about the Bible and astronomy?"' The illustrious astronomer Sir John Herschel answers and says, "All hu man discoveries seem to be made on- ly for the purpoee of confirming morel:::"' iuuna it and more strongly the truth! con-,oclock- PePIe lulte alarmed, but tained in the Holy Scriptures." The- frs.t chapt r of Genesis no where Kays that God completed the creation jn ix days of twenty-four hours eaeh. iu fnrt, three creation days or per:o:s had pone before the creation of d:;;.:-. years and seasons, as described in G -i sia 1:14-19. No scifnri-t, Lchrii;r. ph iio.so;.her or oth er person, who eyres to be fair, con tends that creation dys or or peri ods, and seasonal clays are necessar ily the same. In view of thrv? well established facts, why nhonM we be so ready to take up "an evolutionary theology," which undertakes to discard the mcv?t sacred doctrines of Christian belief and denies the Biblical ac count of the creation of man. Prof. George Howison, in his book, "Limits of Evolution." p 5-C. says: "It is a portent fo threatening to the highest concerns of man, that we ought to look before we leap and look more than once. Under the sheen of the evolutionary account of man, the world of real persons, the world of individual responsibility, disappears; with it disappears the personality of God." And, President David Starr Jordan says, "Science does net comprehend a single ele mental fact in nature." If this theology of evolution is ac cepted, we must look for widespread I lapse from all Christian faith, and. , as cenduct follows belief in all in- "ji.nint creatures, wc shall see also 'nnnncipd tn it VILLAGES LURE H0MEJIASEES As a nlace to live and rear a fam- ijy the Middle West village has much , to offer.
