Half of Bumper
Corn Crop Past
Danger of Frost ?
All Expected to Mature if Freeze
Holds OS Three Weeks Ears
Free From. Insect Damage
Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 18. Forty
seven per cent of Nebraska's corn
crop was beyond danger of frost on
September 15, and 87 per cent of it
will be matured by October 1, if frost
holds off, according to an official
check made today by F. K. Heed, as
sistant statistician for the state and
federal division of agricultural sta
tistics. The estimate is based upon a per
sonal tour of inspection which cover
ed the entire state, and upon prelim
inary compilations of the regular
mid-month crop reports received from
bankers in all parts of the siate.
The hot weather during the first
half of September matured a large
proportion of the Nebraska corn
ord or near-record crop for the rest
of the state.
In the drier sections of the state
there will be some chaffy corn as a
result of the hot, dry weather, the
report indicated, but the damage
; done in this way will be much more
nan offset by the good done in
other sections, most of which had
pienty of moisture with the burning
sun. The ears are unusually free from
insect in ft station and disease. More
than 4 0 per cent of the crop in this
section is now beyond frost danger
and if good weather continues 90
per cent will be mateured by Octo
ber 1. The rest of the crop will take
to October 10 to reach 100 per cent
maturity. However, October 10 is
j earlier than the average date of the
fint killing frosts in the southeas
) ern section, according to weather
bureau records.
The Missouri river that forms the
boundries between Cass and Mills
counties is the source of unfailing
trouble as each year the Btream
threatens to change its course from
near Folsom and lay out a new chan
nel that will be considerably east of
the present course and near the curve
bridge of the Burlington.
The river overflowed to a great ex
tent this spring and summer, the
farm lands west and north of Pacific
Junction and took toll of a great
deal of land near Folsom and placed
the river in a position of even great
er menace to the residents of the
western part of Mills county.
In the past years the U. S. govern
ment, the state of Iowa, Mills county
and the C. B. & Q. railroad have
spent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in an effort to subdue the river
but with very little success.
There seems to be only two
nithods of solving the river problem,
one that of allowing the stream to
seek a new channel through the
farming land of Mills county, or the
creation of concrete walls and break
waters at points above the menaced
sections that would turn the course
of the main current to the Nebraska
side of the river where the forma
tio of the land seems more resisting
to the river, particularly near this
city and south.
Engineers representing the gov
ernment have been in th-? vicinity
of I olsom, inspecting the condition
jOC the river at that place and to de
! cide on some steps that might per
manently remedy the condition that
exists in the stream along the Iown
side of the river.
A change in the current of the
r!ver and the flowing of the stream
'through Mills county would leave
he piesent Builington bridge over
the river as the fording place of the
'.mains of the mighty river as the

doubtedly folow the new stream. It

The Quality bakery, located in the : Fro
Bekin building was sold yesterday
afternoon to D. II. Wentworth of
Omaha, well knwn baker of that
city and who will take over the plant
in the next few days and start the
active management of the baking
and sales department of this modern
establishment.
The bakery has been in charge of
Harold G. Renner since the death of
hio grandfather, the late C. L. Her
ger, and the bakery has been en
larged with the placing of large
modern ovens and a great deal of the
latest type equipment that has made
the bakery one of the most up to date
in the state.
Mr. Renner has desired to move to
the west for the past year and having
the opportunity, disposed of his in
terest to the Omaha baker and who
will prepare to at once take over the
plant and start the active operation
of the bakery.
The new owner of the Quality bak
ery comes to this city very highly
recommended as a baker and one
whose years of practical experience
should give the people of this local
ity a real up to the minute service in
the line of the best of the bakery ;

! The telephone, through research
and experience, has become the father
of an illustrious family of communica

phone, which furnishes a voice to
motion pictures; an audiometer to

which carries a speaker's voice to tens
of thousands; and the microphone
the heart of the radio.
Many of these devices are used in
some form by the telephone industry
in transmitting human speech; others
have found a big and useful field in
other industries. A force of 3,800 peo-i
