Crops Better
than Thought
Com, Sugar Beet, Bean and Potato
Crops Much Better Than Ex
pected a Month Ago.
LINCOLN, Nov. 13 (UP) Neb
raska's potato, supar beet and bean
crops, as well as its corn production,
have turned out better than expected
a month ag-o, A. E. Anderson, state
federal agricultural statistician, said
today in his Nov. 1 report.
In each case the production this
year is greater than a year apo but
the sujrar beet, potato and corn crops
are below the 1928-32 average.
This year's estimates, last year's
production and the five-year averages
follow :
'Corn 83,106,000 bushels this year.
26,299,000 last year, 223,843,000 five
year average.
Su?ar beets 832,000 tons 782,000,
996,000.
Potatoes 6,290,000 bushels, 4,730,
000, 9,526,000.
Dry edible beans 231,000 bags,
113,000, 60,000.
"Potatoes will average 85 bushels
to the acre due largely to the fact
that more than one third of the crop
is irrigated and grown in the Narth
Platte valley where yields are very
good," Anderson said.
"Prices have advanced about 20
cents a hundred since the potato mar
keting agreement became effective."
He said the prospective for beets
was satisfactory but that bean price?
were low.
"The condition of winter wheat im
proved due to general rain about the
middle of October and the rains early
in the month in parts of western anJ
eastern Nebraska," he said. "A good
two-inch rain is needed throughout
the state before the wheat goes into
the winter."

Where Quality Counts &
Red Cross is
Now Conducting
Its Annual Drive
Membership Campaign Started Armis.
tice Day Over the Nation .
Enrollments Urged.
The annual membership campaign
of the American Red Cross is now in
progress and Americans are urged to
become a part of the world's most
humanitarian movement.
The membership fees are a part of
the fund that makes possible the
prompt response that the Red Cross
makes in time of disaster and need
in any part of the nation. Its worth
vas demonstrated last spring when
the Red Cross entered the stricken
areas of the Ohio and Mississippi river
overflows to bring food, clothing and
care to the residents of that section
of the nation.
The prompt action of the Red Cross
was strikingly shown in the Louis
ville flood several years ago when the
organization assisted in the reliel
work and the funds of the local chap
ter here were made available to the
service of the victims.
Enrollment in the Red Cross may
be made at the Plattsmouth State
bank. Journal, E. A. Wurl store and
Mauzy Drug Co., stores where cards
and buttons are available.
It is hoped to have a prompt re
sponse so that the chapter can have
a worthy membership by the close
of the campaign on Thanksgiving
day.
