Apple Crop to be Very Short Nebraska Will Raise Little More Than Half as Many as Last Year Foreign Demand Good. Nebraska's 1928 crop will be but 439,000 bushels, , as compared to 850,000 last year, according to indi cations on Aug 1, says the state and federal division of agricultural sta tistics. The commercial crop will be approximately 47,000 barrels as com pared to 110,000 barrels last year. The United States crop, however, will be 7,000,000 barrels larger than last year and Canada expects a half million barrels more or a 12 per cent increase over 1927. Present condi tions abroad indicate a good foreign demand for American apples ami growers need not t be alarmed over the predicted production of 33,277, 000 barrels. The five year average commercial apple crop for this country is 33, 19C.000 barrels and last year's crop totalled only 25,900,000 barrels. Last year's crop in Canada was 2.810,000 but this year wil! probably be 3, 157,369 barrels, nuking an increase of 7,724,000 barrels for North Amer ica over 1927. During the past month orchard conditions in New England and Nova Scotia have de clined sharply but prospects in Brit ish Columbia and western United States are good enough to overbal ance the eastern loss.

Union Man is Killed in Plane Fire on Friday Elmer Fahrlander, 20 , Burned to Death and Ray Fahrlander Ser iously Injured in Accident From Saturday's Dally Elmer Fahrlander, 20, was burn ed to death and his brother, Ray mond Fahrlander, 23, aviation pilot,; seriously injured in an airplane acci-, dent at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon at the field a mile and a quarter east, of Union that Raymond Fahrlander has been using as a landing field. The plane was a Curtiss two seat ed type and was owned by Raymond Fahrlander, who has been taking aviation training at the Omaha air field and for several months has been a licensed pilot. The pilot who had his brother with him as a passenger, had made one landing in the field and was taking off preparatory for another flight when the accident occurred that resulted in the tragic death of the brother, Elmer and the serious burning of Ray as he tried to rescue the brother from the fuselage of the plane where he was trapped and un able to get out as the plane was a roaring mass of flames a few moments after it had crashed to the ground. The plane as it was taking off had made two circles around the field for the ascent and as it rose, eyewit nesses state, the wheels of the plane struck the top brances of the large cottonwood tree, a landmark in the field, which evidently damaged the plane and it then crashed to the ground, landing across the road from the field with terrific force. The engine of the plane was driven back into the seat that was occupied by Elmer Fahrlander, .who was pin ned there as the flames swept the machine. Dan Porter, Nebraska City under taker, was a quarter of a mile away, saw the plane as it rose over the tree-tops and then watched It burst into flames. He was the second man on the scene, a. farmer having, pre ceded him. Mr. Porter was talking to T. E. Hathaway, Cass county farmer, when the ill-fated plane circled 200 feet above them. "The plane made two circles of about a half mile," said Mr. Porter. "Then when the plane was descend ing as if to land, it struck the top of a cottonwood tree. There was an explosion and a burst- of flames. Al most instanly we heard a crash." Mr. Porter and Mr. Hathaway hur ried to the spot where the plane fell. When they arrived Raymond the pilot, was frantic in his efforts to rescue his brother from the flames. Owing to the intense heat the pilot was unable to get close enough to the ship to pull his brother away. The body of Elmer was charred beyond recognition. A farmer residing near the scene of the accident rushed Raymond Fahrlander to the St. Mary's hospital at Nebraska City where his injuries are now being cared for and the pilot of the plane is suffering very much fro mthe shock of the accident and the tragic death of the brother. The injured pilot stated to the hospital attendants at Nebraska City that he thought that he had landed too hard and the plane burst into flames. The two young men are sons of Herman Fahrlander, well known resident of the vicinity of Union, they living on a farm four miles northeast of Union. MANY OLD TIRES The often asked question of what becomes of all of the old autos and tires, can at least be partially ans wered by the H. M. Soennlchsen Co. of this city, they having about all the old tires in this part of the state or Nebraska. The tires were brought in as a part of the contest being held at the big store for the Cheverolet sedan that they are giving away, the contestants being allowed votes on the old tires. All yesterday afternoon and up to 10 last evening, truckload after truckload of the old tires and tubes were being hauled in and de posited in the warehouse on South Fourth street which the company hap secured to house the tires and old paper that has been turned in as an inducement for votes in the car con test. The greatest of interest was shown in the event and friends of the candidates were out to see that as many tires as possible were brought in to be credited to their favorite candidate. SUFFERING FROM ILLNESS From Thursday's Daliy Little Dorothea Mae Duxbury, daughter of Judge and Mrs. A. H. Duxbury, was taken ill yesterday and seems to be suffering from a case of what seems to be summer flu, a great deal of which is reported over the community at this time.

State Plans to Test Oil on Main Traveled Roads Engineers Prepare to Try Out Twc Stretches of Road in Effort to Improve Gravel Oiled roads are to be tried out on the state highway system In Nebras ka this fall, Roy Cochran, secretary state department of public works said at Lincoln Friday. Two stretches of highway, each one mile long, will be specially treated with oil as ah experiment to see of the oil will stand up, Mr. Cochran explained. One mile of highway north of North Platte and another mile east of Grand Island will be oil surfaced within the next month. "We selected the highway north of North Platte to test the oil sur face in the sondhill country where we have been trying to find some thing that would keep the gravel on the road." Secretary Cochran said Doubts Its Efficiency. "The mile on the Lincoln Highway east of Grand Island will j?iv-the oiled surface a severe test under heavy traffic. I doubt if it will stand up under constant traffic, but it maj do the work in the sand hills." Cochran explained that for the ex periment north of North Platte gra vel, sand and oil would be thoroughly mixed on the road so that there would be at least three inches of the pre pared surface. On the Lincoln Highway mile gra vel and oil will be" mixed in the same way and will be dragged constantly until it is hardened by the travel of automobiles, which at that point average about 2,000 cars a day. For a short distance on the Lincoln High way crushed stone will he mixec' with the gravel and oil as a furtheT experiment. May Oil New Highway. "The department will not extend the use of oil on state roads until after the two experimental miler have been thoroughly tested this fal' and winter and next spring." Secre tary Cochran said. "We want to know how an oiled road will stand up un der the most adverse conditions. Secretary Cochran said that if thf oil surfaced highway proved advan tageous in the sand hill country it might be used on the new Potash highway that runs from Ansley through Broken Bow and on to Alli ance, as that road ran tnrougn tne sandy country much of the way.
