PROPOSAL
Beatrice, Sept. 0. The Beatrice
Daily Sun Monday published an in
terview with Governor Adam Mc
Mullen in which he warmly indorsed
a proposal of the first homestead in
the United States, be converted into a
state park.
Interest in the proposal was given
impetus, when it was discussed by
Bess Gearhart Morrison, reader and
platform entertainer, at the meeting
sponsored by a Centenary Methodist
Episcopal church auxiliary here. The
farm is a short distance northwest of
Beatrice, and is a beautiful wooded
tract, in the valley of a small stream.
"I am most cordially in sympathy
with the proposal to create a state
park at the Freeman farm." said the
governor. "It symbolizes so much in
the development of our state and of
our nation particularly their agri
cultural development. I can conceive
of nothing more fitting than that it
should be made a lasting memorial
to the homesteaders, to those cour
ageous men and women who laid the
foundation stones of the commonwealth.'

Bailey Predicts
Three on Ballot
Norris the Man to Vote for, He Says
If You Want to Become an
Experiment Station.
"If we want to turn Nebraska in
to an experiment station, Norris
would be the man to vote for," said
Representative E. P. Bailey of Car
leton, Thayer county, one of the floor
leaders of the republican majority in
the recent legislature who visited the
cnpitol Friday. He does not admit
that Coolidge Is out of the race.
"It appears that the republicans
are split three ways in Nebraska,"
lie said. "Some are for Norris, some
for Lowden and others for Coolidge.
I am certain three presidential can
didates will be placed on the primary
ballot as preferential candidates
nxt April. The names on the ballot
will be Coolidge, Norris and Liowden.
They can be placed there by petition
and I believe .that will be done.
"As for farm relief I very much
doubt if the legislation recently be
fore congress will be what the farm
ers themselves want. There is a way
to solve the farm relief problem and
President Coolidge is now being edu
cated along that line and in the end
he may be able to solve it better
than any cue eb?e. If we have the
immense crops that are now promised
there will be no need of farm relief
I never saw the people so well sat
isfied with conditions as tney are
now. The attendance at our county
fair increased one-third this year,
and this is an indication of the pros
perity of the people."
Secretary of State Marsh, when
questioned regarding the primary
election law he would place the name
cf Coolidge upon the ballot, as a presi
dential preference candidate if a
petition containing 100 names from
each congressional district is present
ed to him. He pointed out that the
law states that presidential candi
dates shall be printed on the ballot
"solely upon the petition of their
political supporters in Nebraska" and
"without such persons themselves
signing the petition or .acceptance."
Mr. Marsh said if. a petition candi
date should submit to him a state
ment that he did not desire his name
to appear on the ballot it might be
different, as it would seem, unreason
able to make, a man run against his
will. e . .
Acceptance by the presidential
candidate is not required by law.
Roosevelt once caused a letter to be
written to the secretary of state of
Nebraska expressing a desire not to
have his name on the ballot, and his
name was omitted, tho a petition
placing it there was on file. The ob
ject of the law is to instruct dele
gations to national conventions to
vote in convention for the candidate
of his party who received the most
votes of his party in the state pri
mary. Norris supporters are circulat
ing petitions. Lowden and Coolidge
supporters have made no official an
nouncement as to whether they will
do the same.

that the former kaiser has not given

of a telegram in wheih Wiihelm calls
upon "the faithful" to work for the

: Wiihelm telegraphed to Field Mar

as follows:

Red Cloud. Neb., Sept. 2. From
records kept for the past year, Perry
Peterson, young Webster county
farmer, figures a profit of twelve
cents a bushel from a field of seven
added ?549.09 to the cost of produc
tion along with $69. SO paid out for
hauling the grain to the elevator,
making a total of $1,490.70. He real
ized $1.1S per bushel or J1.647.2S
gross, and after subtracting his ex
pense he found he had left $158.58,
which he could figure as net profit.
, After plowing four of five inches deep
last July, the field was harrowed
three times prior to planting with
Kanred wheat.
This particular piece of ground has
been under cultivation for thirty
three years and has been in corn for
the lat four years. Mr. Peterson says
from 50 to 100 loads of manure have
been spread on it each year that it
has been under cultivation,
ty-four acres of wheat on his place,
just recently threshed, which yielded
IS. 4 2 bushels to the acre and for
which he was paid $1.1S a bushel,
close to the top price paid here this
year.
According to his data, jotted down
in a little note book he has carried
with him continuously since starting
the record, it coats him $1.06 a bush
el to produce wheat in Webster
vuu.iiv. mi. i-eierson s uooks snow a
total of 592 hours of man labor was
spent on the field, which he figured
at 35 cents an hour, and 2,145 horse
hours, figure at 20 cents an hour,
making a total of $636.20 for labor.
He used $26.25 worth of twine and
paid out $111.69 for thrashing the
grain: His seed cost him $97.68. A
bushel of seed, treated with copper
carbonate, was planted to the acre.
Two ounces of copper carbonate was
used to the bushel and Mr. Peterson
reports his wheat absolutely free
from smut.
Figuring: out one third of the gross
income off .the farm a rent which he
would be able to get off the place bid
someone else been farming it, he
