State Corn Aver
age is Estimated
at 23 Bushels
Reports Show the Largest Acreage
in Corn in Nebraska Crop
Is Spotted in State
The forecast of corn is 232,208,
000 bu.; all wheat, 59, 960. 000 bu.;
oats, 55,614,000 bu.; barley, 17,
0S1.000.000 bu.; tame hay, 2,718.
000 tons and wild hay, 1,674,000
tons according to the August report
of the State and Federal Division of
Agr. Statistics. The average yield
of winter wheat is 18 bu. per acre,
being slightly above the average of
the past five years. Production of
spring wheat and other small grains
is considerably below the average.
Hay production is low. The fore
cast of corn yield is 23 bu. per acre
and the acreage is 10,096.000, the
highest acreage on record.
Corn in that section of the state
south of the Platte river is generally
in good condition but has sustained
drouth injury in some localities.
Damage has occurred to the crop in
Clay and Nuckolls counties and ad
joining areas. In the section north
of the Platte corn is somewhat poor
er and varies from fair to very poor.
Most of the corn in this section has
been stunted but occasional locali
ties, especially in the extreme eastern
and southeastern parts have good
prospects. In general, the condition
of corn is very spotted, showing (on
siderable variation in condition be
tween localities. Rains received
since August 1st has greatly bene
fitted most of the corn In sections
where it was received.
The average yield of corn is plac
ed at 23 bu. per acre. The acreage
this year is 10,096.000 the highest
corn acreage recorded for Nebraska
and which is 4S1.000 acres above
the previous high record made in
1930. The forecast of corn produc
tion is 232,208,000 bu. as compared
to 247.106.ooo bu. last year and

yields were greatly reduced in west
ern Nebraska by the late spring
freeze and lack of moisture. Spring
wheat was severely injured by drouth
and extremely unfavorable weather
just previous to harvest. Lowered
yields in western Nebraska and re
duced acreage more than offset the
excellent yields which were made in
other narts of the state, and the pro
duction of all wheat is below last

The feed grain crops are generally
below the average in production.
The estimate of oats is 56,614,000

IONS
We
'E KNOW that car owners are interested in real
TIRE VALUES, but are not particularly interested in
tire definitions which manufacturers and distributors
of special-brand mail-order tires had the National Bet
ter Business Bureau adopt that they could use to their
advantage in their advertising.
When the National Better Business Bureau real
ized that the public was be ing misled and an attempt
was being made to keep the truth about real tire values
from ear owners, they issued a bulletin July 10th
whifh in substance retracted their sponsorship of tire
definitions.
Firestone extra values arc the result of great sav
ings in buying great savings in efficient and econom
ical manufacturing and distributing, plus the patented
process of Gum-Dipping ihe patented two extra cord
plies under the treat? and a more efficient non-skid
tread, which makea them 6afer tlian any other tire.
Wre have sections cut from Firestone Gum-Dipped
Tires and Special-Brand 31ai!-Order Tires, and invite
you to come in and judge for yourself the extra values
we give you values thai you can see and understand
instead of "definitions." Then we know you too will
buy Firestone Tires as thousands of other car owners
have done to the extent that during May, June and
July they bought more Firestone Tires than during any
like period in history Drive in today!
COMPARE CSHSTRUCTZQ and QUALITY
:!- When the National Bcitev &uina3 Bureau realized that their
Bulletin No. 6.1 1 was being tat cn advantage nf by some advertisers
they issued a bulletin dated July 10th as follow-:
"In our Bulletin No. 634 entitled 'Definitions of Tenns Used in
the Tire Industry' we published definition- of First Line Second
Line Third Line Heavy Duty and Super Heavy Duty Tires.
"Our definitions pointed out, 'Although each manufacturer's or
distributor's first line tire may represent his best standard size 4 or
6 ply tire, there is not necessarily any equality of competitive first
line tires as to materials, workuianship or price' This interpretation
also applies to all lines of tires.
"We therefore rccomiscr.J tliat advertising to tho
roDNumer .shall avoid th pse of those terms for the
purpose of comparing competitive products."

New Orleans President Downs of
the Illinois Central railroad, told a
gathering of Lousiana railway work
ers here that government partici
pation in transportation "is leading
us into socialism."
"It is socialism when the govern
ment chips in for the upkeep of any
thing." he said In criticizing "sub
idy" of air and water lines thru fed
eral aid nr operation. He sail the In

If the railroads could operate in the
same way the water corporation does
thev could cut rates 4S per cent and
make as much as they do now.
"All we ask is that the full value
of the various forms of transporta

said. "Then there wouldn't be any
competition. Railroads would !
