State Crops

All Groups
Parts of Northern Nebraska Show
Good Fodder; Some Cora Har
vested in Northeast.
Parts of northern Nebraska have
a fair corn fodder crop and some corn
for grain will be harvested in the
extreme northeastern counties, irri
gated sections and a few favored. lo
calities. The potato crop for the
state is 50 below that of last -year.
The yield of sugar beets was lower
than usual and the production was
cut in half. Fruit production with
the exception of pears is also below
normal, rays the State and Federal
Division of Agricultural Statistics.
The estimated production of corn
for all purposes is 25,C59,000 bush
els as compared to 234.698,000
bushels last year and the 5-year av
erage of 220,002,000 bushels. The
late season accompanied by fair rains
improved the yield and quality of
some of the corn fodder and corn for
silage. The development of corn in
western and northern Nebraska end
ed with the frost that came in late
September. A general killing frost
occurred in the latter part of Octo
ber and ended corn development in
the central and southeastern part of
the state. Corn forage yields are ex
tremely light except ia northern Ne
braska where yields are fair. Some
corn is being husked in the extreme
northeastern counties, but yields are
extremely light. Corn is practically
a total failure in the south central
and southeastern part of the state.
Rains that fell about August SO
and afterwards gave early sown
wheat a good start and it has made
a splendid growth over most of the
eastern third of the state. Conditions
are not quite as favorable in the cen
tral and southwestern portion and
are quite unfavorable in the extreme
western Panhandle counties due to a
shortage of moisture. The early
sown wheat has made splendid
growth in the eastern third of the
state and much of it ha3 been pas
tured. However, the sub-soil mois
ture is not ample and the crop can
not withstand prolonged periods of
drought under this condition. Con
tinued and plentiful rains with heavy
snows would relieve the situation.
The average yield of potatoes is
estimated at 30 bushels per acre and
the production 4,320.000 bushels as
compared with 8.625,000 bushels in
1933 and the 5-year average of 9,
404,000 bushels. The farm crop is
either extremely poor cr a failure
and the harvested acreage will be
limited to a few favorable localities,
Irrigated valleys and sandhill area
Production in the cantral Platte val
ley is estimated at 200 bushels per
acre or slightly more. The potato
crop in the north Platte valley was
seriously injured by the September
frost and the yield In thi3 territory
probably will not exceel 125 bushels
per acre. The dry land crop in west
ern Nebraska is the poorest harvest
ed in many years. Many lelds were
not worth harvesting and very few
had yields as high as 50 bushels per
acre. A total of 1,14 6 cars o? pota
toes have been shipped to date as
compared to 2,731 cars shipped dur
ing the same period last year or
about 40 as much.

Rush 0. Fellows Tells of Experiences
Here Reviews Work of Dana
Sleeth, Once Resident Here.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 9.
Editor Plattsmouth Journal,
Plattsmouth, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
It may be that you will not be in
terested in the following, but every
evening when I peruse the Seattle
Daily Star, I inevitably think of the
old town of Plattsmouth, where, seventy-six
years ago I disembarked
from a St. Louis steamboat at your
then comparatively small town and
trading point. That was during the
summer of 1858 and I was all of six
years old. My stay at that time was
of but short duration and I was
shipped back to my native state of
Michigan. Again in 1S73 I arrived
in Plattsmouth and for seven years
following I was an employe on the
Weekly Herald during the manage
ment of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Mac
Murphy and it was during these
years that I first met my late wife,
leaving there in 1880. But in 1S98,
like the cat, I came back, started the
Daily Post and after four years mi
grated to the Black Hills, hence you
see there are three periods of the old
town quite widely separated, where
of I recall many interesting events.
Six years ago after the passing of
my wife I came to this city to pass
the remainder of my days, presum
ably, with my daughter and family.
But I disgress; I had no intention
when sitting down to this machine
of giving you anything of my life's
history, but rather to call your at
tention to the enclosed clippings,
samples of items which appear in the
paper above named. The nom de
plume "Hill Billy" is that assumed
by a former Plattsmouth boy, Mr.
Dana Sleeth, son of Rev. Asa Sleeth
who several years ago was pastor of
the M. E. church in your city. The
family will be remembered by many
of the older residents thereabouts
and they may perhaps be interested
in knowing that the Reverend is still
living, but in darkness, caused by
eye failure. Mrs. Sleeth passed away
a few months since as indicated by
Dana's reference thereto, which
shows the writer's philosophical
method of mourning the demise of
man's best friend:
FROM THE HILLS
By Hill Billy
Ee sorrowful for the living, not
the dead. Somehow that comes home
to me just now more than ever be
fore, and for years I have mourned
for the beloved left behind, not for
the poor tired bodies of the dead.
lying there among the flowers and
smiling the last smile that death im
prints on the tired face.
A week ago I looked down at the
face of mother in her humble casket.
It seemed to me that mother looked
at least 10 years younger than when,
a few days before, I had visited her
in the hospital. Finally over the
rough seas the ship at sunset comes
to rest in a sweet harbor and the
storms are forgotten.
This mother of mine was effective
and happy until her last hour. At
the age of 82 a "stroke" hit her as
she was beginning her morning home
tasks; she lingered for three weeks
without regaining consciousness,
slept without pain and without self
realization, a3 a tired baby sleeps,
and then, on a quiet Sunday morn
ing, at about the hour she would
have arisen to begin her Christian
services to her class and church, she
quietly quit breathing.
I feel a loss, certainly, but I more
deeply feel a satisfaction that mother
to her last conscious hour lived with
out feeling of either pain or help
lessness. For mother I do not mourn; for
father, left In the dark and alone,
I do grieve.
Of course, to me mother is as alive
as she ever was, nor do I speak of
the resurrection of the body, nor of
a home In the skies. Mother lives
within me, a conscious entity that
we built up thru more than half a
century of association; indeed in the
very fibre of plasm of me my mother
continues, as I continue in the fibre
of my children.
There is an immortality, but not
of the body entity.
Yours fraternally,
RUSH O. FELLOWS.

Motorists no longer have to guess about the
gasoline they buy. A metal plaque on the pump,
required by law. telU at. a glance whether the
gasoline contains Utraelhyl, that amazing performance-producing
compound also contained
(in larger quantity) in premium-priced gasoline.
All any motorist has to do is look Jot the plaque.
If it isn't there, then the gasoline hasn't a sin
gle drop of that valuable fluid in it ! For this
reason, thousands of car owners make it a
Paint to buy Standard Red Crown, the Live
ower gasoline, which sells at the price of
"regular." They know that that plaque ia on
every Red Crown pump!

Charles Forbes suffered a severe
gash on his right foot Monday after

The ax with which he was splitting
wood, glanced off and struck his in

several stitches taken in the Injured
