MECHANICAL CORNHTJSEERS
ABE POPULAR EN IOWA
Lincoln, Oct. 16. Statistics of
85 Iowa counties show that there are
5,855 mechanical cornhuskers in use
there. The two-row corn snapper is
also becoming popular with cattle
feeders, according to the association.
In dry weather snappers will take off
from CO to 70 per cent of the husks,
which makes corn clean enough to
be cribbed.
j In Wisconsin, the research depart
ment says. 60 per cent of the corn
cut for silage Is cut by the husfcer
shredder. In silo filling, a small en
silage cutter and corn binder with
a bundle loading attackment removes
a great deal t)f the heavy lifting that
was once a part of this work.

Estimated Corn
Yield of State is
Going Higher
Placed at 281,952.000 Bushels in the
Mid-Month Report Issued
Tuesday.
The estimated production of Ne
braska's corn crop is placed at 2S1,
952,000 bushels in the mid-month
report issued Tuesday by the Nebras
ka division of federal and state agri
cultural statistics. This is a boost
of 13,000,000 bushels over the Oct
ober 1st estimate and represents an
average yield per acre for the entire
state of S3 bushels.
In only one other year in the his
tory of the state has more torn been
produced. That was in 1SSS when
the total estimated production was
298,600,00 bushels and the average
yield was 37.5 bushels.
There is no comparison, however,
between the two years as to the value
of the crop. In 1S96 the farmers re
ceived an average price of 13 cents e
bushel for their corn. The entire
crop, though setting an all time rec
ord for production was worth less in
dollars and cents than any crop since
that time except the one produced in
1S98. It was estimated that the en
tire 189C crop was only worth 3S,
817,000. Worth Over $225,000,000
This year, with a crop almost
eaualling in production the one of
1896. the average value per bushel
is placed at between 70 and 80 cents
the total value of the crop is esti
mated to be considerably over $ 225.
000.000. It is estimated that about 11.4 per
cent of this year's crop is of poor
quality, due to frosts which occurred
in the latter part of September. Hot
Weather, which preceded the frost,
is blamed for some of the late plant
ed corn ripening too rppidly. The
corn will be re?dy to crib about
November 1. it is said in the report.
The average yield per acre and
the percentage of poor quality corn
iB the various parts of the state Is

Nearly 94 per cent of the winter

Favor Increased Feeding
Feed conditions generally favor in
creased cattle feeding. At present,
however there are fewer cattle in
the feed lots than at this time last
year. Feeders are holding off on ac

corn. It is probable that develop-

average year.
More sheep will be fed in Nebras

in the Scottsbluff territory, with
probably some increase in the central
Platte valley.
There are scattered cases of hog
cholera over the state. with the
heaviest infestation in the eastern
third of the state particularly the
southeast. It is not expected that
losses from cholera will be as heavy
as last year, due to the higher per

THE CALL OF A PROPHET
Golden Text: And I heard the
Lord saying. Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us? Then I said,
Here am I: send me. Isa. 6:8.
The Call of Elisha
Elijah had been somewhat dis
couraged, though still obeying the
voice of the Lord, and was willing to
(do his bidding, but as he had .been
! commanded, when on Mount Cinai, to
'rant Lis mantle on Elisha. the son
of Shaphat, he obeyed. As Elijah
was passing along the roadway by
the farm of Shaphat, he observed
Elisha plowing in the field with a
yoke of oxen and commanding eleven
more hired men as they also plowed
with eleven yoke of oxen, and was
thinking of the work which he was
doing and of the interest of his
father. Elisha was a great student of
tbe scriptures and had a very definite
understanding of their purport and
meaning. As he plowed in his father's
field, he little thought that a call
was coming for him to become a
prophet, and that he was to have a
visit from the great prophet Elijah,
whom he well knew. And as Elijah
stepped over into the field and ap
proached Elisha, casting his mantle
on the the shoulders of the young
man, he turned to leave and was leav
ing, when Elisha, realizing the sig
niflicanee of the act. stopped the oven
and ran after Elijah saying, "Let me,
I pray you. go kiss my father and my
motln-r and then will I follow thee."
Elisha, realizing the meaning of
the act. was willing to forsake all
and obey the command of the Lord,
and his later life showed that he
very faithful in his work. Replying,
Elijah, who knew that his work was
not as yet completed and that he
would be required to act yet a good
while as the prophet of Israel, arid
that during such time Elisha would
be perfecting himself for the posi
tion and to wear the mantle when
it should be cast aside by the great
prophet, said. "Go back again, for
what have I done to thee?" Thus
signifies that there were many days
of preparation before all the stern
responsibilities of the position of a
great prophet would be placed on the
shoulders cf the young man. There
fore Eljah told Elisha to wait, and
go bad: to the farm and the oxen.
However, Elisha understood the call
and returning slew his oxen and
broke tip his plow and made a fire
with it, stewed the flesh of the oxen
and riving this to his people to eat,
depart 'd and followed after Elijah,
ard ministered unto him. for when
he received his call he. like a famous
general; in tht American civil war,
burned the bridges behind him so he
couij r.-t retreat, for victory was
abend, and to return was to prove
bime!f unfaithful for the high call
ing which had come to him.
The Call cf Amos
Following the time of Elisha,
which extended over a number of
years the reigning kings of both
Isrnel and Judah had passed away
rr.d the son of Jereboam. known as
Jcreboani the Second, was on the
throne, and Amaziab was a priest
located at Bethel, and Amos had made
a pronouncement against the king
dom of Israel on account cf their sins
j poof, to tne Kir.g or ine Kiiiyuuni.
which fhou'.d afterwards come to
pat?, for Amos said that the kingdom
should pass away and its peoples be
lost in the cthc-r nations, as came
to pass when Schenecharib did carry
the people away when Samaria fell,
and they became the ten lost tribes.
Amaziali. who believed the prophecy
of Amos, which said, "Therefore thus
.. v 1Kir1, c,rit
&nd ha
caD,tlvity forth of this
land."
Amaziali had warned Amos to
leave Israel and return to Judah for
he had come from Judah. and if he
had anything to say, say it there
where he would be safe from Jere
boam the second. But Amos who had
been sent by the Lord to prophesy
against Israel, was there to do as he
was commanded. So Amos said unto
Amaziah. I was no prophet, but a
herdsman and a grower of the syen
n:or tree which grew fruit, wehn
the Lord called me for a special mifc
sion to prophesy against the sins of
Israel and her degenerate kings.
Ames had received his call as he was
attending to the herding of cattle
end other work.
Tbe Cal! of Isaiah.
In the year that King Uzziah died,
Isaiah was the prophet, and by the
way lie lived through the reign of
four kings of Judah, they being Uz
ziah, who is introduced in the begin
ning of the call of Isaiah. Jotham.
who was regent and also king, Ahas.
also Hezekiah. Isiah saw the Lord,
high and lifted upon a throne, and
' his train filled the temple
bove
1 him stood the seraphims; each one
had six wings, with twain he covered
I his face, and with twain he covered
feet and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto another, and
said 'Holy. Holy, Holy, is Jehovah
of hosts, the whole earth is full of
, i C 11 T f V' 1 VI , i II a uvi Kuu -j-
voice of the Lord saying, 'Who shall
I send, and who will go for us?' Then
I said, 'Here I am, send me.' "
Thus was Isaiah called to the place
of prophet. This was many years ago
but the necessity of someone going
to service for the Lord and the good
of society and for service for man
kind is still being broadcasted. What
was it that called Abraham Lincoln
to strike the fetters ifom the black
race at (he time of the Civil War,
and how is the call coming to us all
for service for a better condition of
society, for the making and execut
ing of more just and equitable laws,
laws for the good of humanity and
not for the agrandisement of the few
and oppression of many. Today needs
men fearless of the opinion of the
world to that extent that they are
not afraid to do tbe right thing even
if it is not popular.
Hunting Before
Sunrise Illegal
State Game Warden Investigated
Charles Welker of Wood Lake
Who Shoots Much Game
Charles Welker. manager of a tele
phone exchange at Wood Lake, Cher
ry county, who frequently drives
hunters to fat fields full of prairie
chickens, was specially investigated
by a special game warden on the
ground that he was selling game to
unfortunate hunters who got little or
none when they went with him. State
Game Warden O'Connell said the
county attorney decided there was no
legal case against Welker who al
leges he does not sell game nor even
take a tip for game, that he charges
hunters for transportation in his car.
not for birds which he may give
them when they depart. The state
department prosecuted Welker for
hunting before sunrise r.nd he was
fined 515 and costs.
Mr. O'Connell contemplates recom
mending to the next legislature a li
cense for guides and drivers without
thf right to hunt or carry a gun.

Heard of State Points Out in Mes
sage the Value cf the Inter
change cf Ideas
In this age of co-operation when
workers in all fields of endeavor are
arsocintir.g themselves in group?5 and
organizations for the advancement
of the welfare of the individual and
the progress of the group as a whole,
it seems particularly fitting that
those to whom are entrusted the task
of properly training the youth of the
ftate, should annually assemble for
the exchange of idoas and the dissem
ination of information relative to the
newer practices in education.
The teachers of Nebraska are to
be commended for the great profes
sional organization which they have
perfected. The Nebraska State
Teachers Association was organized
the year Nebraska was admitted into
rtatehood. Robert W. Furnas, its
first president. w?s the second gov
ernor of the state, and since that
time the teachers have worked con
sistently toward the greater develop
ment of our great common wealth.
In view of the distinct service which
the teaching profession has rendered
to the state, I deam it a privilege to
call the attention of the echool offi
cers and citizens of Nebraska to the
six great district educational con
ventions to be held November 2, 3,
4 and 5.
Out of gathering? of this type
come the inspirational and educa
tional leadership so essential to the
development of a broad educational
out-look and a program of education
in keeping with the needs of the
boys and girls of Nebraska who are
soon to discharge the responsibil
ities of citizens.
Therefore, I. Adam McMullen, gov
ernor of the State cf Nebraska, sug
gest that school officials il! do well
not only to make it possible for our
teachers to attend these convention?,
but urge that they lend evcrs- possi
ble encouragement to such attend
