WHAT THEY
A number of America's leading news
paper correspondents are accompany
ing President Taft on his trip around
the circle. Among them is Ernest G
Walker, representing the Boston Her
ald. What Mr. Walker saw in Nebras
ka is written up in an entertaining
manner by him, and the article is not
only interesting but timely. A few
years ago Massachusetts was giving
heed to Nebraska's appeals for help
for her suffering homesteaders. Things
have changed, however. Now Massa
chusetts is paying Nebraska interest
on borrowed money, for the' permanent
school fund of Nebraska holds nearly
a million dollars worth of Massachu
setts state bonds as an investment.
How all this is made possible is told
by Mr. Walker in the following letter
to his paper, the Boston Herald:
"Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2. Here in the
heart of the corn and alfalfa, country
the crash of eastern markets does not
appall. A baronial farming class has
piled up its millions. They have now
quite an independent civilization oi
their own. Their El Dorado ia this
ttate is 200 square miles of the richest
crop lands probably in all the conti
nent. Its annual yield keeps a great
population with an increasing balance
at the country banks and in a frame
of mind to defy the magnates of Wa.l
street.
"The prosperous west is ceasing to
rant at the money kings on Manhattan.
The rough neck farmer is giving way
to a more gentlemanly type, who has
the confidence and contentment that
education and the possession of securi
ties bring. He has automobiles, to be

SAY ABOUT
sure, but he also has farm machinery
that relieves him of the exactions of
grinding toil upon the land. And this
holds even out into the Nebraska sand
hills, where there are contraptions
which alike dig and load the bumper
potato erops.
"Gov. C. H. Aldrich of Nebraska
lives at David City. 'In our little
prairie town,' said he, "We have three
banks. The aggregate of their depos
its is $1,500,000. The money comes
from the farmers. I would not say
our financial condition is exceptional
among many other Nebraska communi
ties. " 'What would you expect in a rich
agricultural country such as ours?
Take alfalfa alone. It grows four cut
tings a year, aggregating quite four
tons per acre, and sells readily here
at Lincoln for from $8 to $10 per ton.
Do you wonder that prairie land is
worth from $100 to $200 an acre! We
raise in Nebraska over 200,000,000
bushels of corn and half as much in
wheat and oats together. All these
are steady crops.
" 'The idle money in the banks!
Well, that has not become a very ser
ious problem with us. It is going into
farm and home improvements and
somewhat into other local enterprises.
Our people are also investing now in
standard stocks and bonds that yield
a certain income.'
"Governor Aldrich did not say so,
but one hears an occasional complaint
that the farmer barons hold the lines
tightly over merchants in the smaller
towns. The store and shop keepers,
ordinarily entitled to credit at the local
banks, sometimes get it with difficulty.

if at all. Investments that carry
coupons and occasion no worries about
collections are proving more attractive.
"A commercial traveler here and
.there grumbles a little about slow busi
ness, but the fact remains that virtual
ly all Nebraska and much of the coun
try that adjoins have no eoncern about
industrial depression or panics. The
people feel intrenched in their security
beyond anything one encounters at
Chicago or in the more complacent
northwest. The priees of agricultural
products are high, and if the erops are
not record breaking they are bounti
ful. There is money enough with
which to buy all that the local popula
tion needs.
"Of eourse the farmer barons of this
corn and alfalfa empire have no mo-,
nopoly, and therein they are distin
guished from the average captains of
industry. But they yell as lustily
against legislation which might impair
their profits. Makers of cotton and
woolen cloths are not a whit more an
tagnostic to lower tariffs than the Ne
braska farmers have been to reci
procity. "If ex-President Roosevelt's charac
terization of tariff hogs with their feet
in the trough was true of any location
in the land, it certainly applies to the
western farmers. Perhaps duties of 25
cents a bushel on wheat and corres
ponding duties on other eereals may
have small effect in maintaining prices
for articles of export, but the farmer
thinks it keeps off Canadian competi
tion. The spirit of .rural opposition is
so intense that it is little wonder the
insurgents in congress executed a right
. about face, although they exposed
themselves to charges of tariff incon
sistency. "The agricultural prosperity of the
west is demonstrating itself in the re
construction of its larger towns. No
where is that more evident than in
Omaha and Lincoln. Both are far
enough away from Chicago and Kan
sas City to become considerable dis
tributing centers and without experi
encing any booms are having substan
tial business growth. Jlore attention
is paid to large business enterprises,
and both cities have ambitions for
manufacturing.
"Lincoln is just coming along with
its first skyscraper, and more are in
contemplation. Capitalists here are
giving special attention to manufac
turing in small lines, for which the raw
material is close at hand. Among the
city's business boasts is that one of
its firms sold last year more glass store
fronts than any other concern in the
country. Tt has the largest ereamery
in the world, the largest manufactur
ing and distributing plant for copper
lightning rods, does the greatest busi
ness of any American city in the ship
ment of live poultry and so on in a
number of important branches.
"There is less monopoly of conversa
tion on crops and food staples this side
of the Missouri than one hears in the
sweep of prairie between Chicago and
the western boundary of Iowa. There
is a language here for the talking hu
man animal, which extends to some
thing besides granary prospects and
everlasting politics. Lincoln is the
biggest educational center this side of
Chicago, and with ten colleges and
technical schools, even disputes the
Windy City's primacy.
"The University of Nebraska has an
enrollment of 4.000 students, nine
tenths of whom are from the state, and
practically all of American parentage.
There are a conservatory of musie,
two or three business colleges and
medical and dental schools. The stand
ards of admission and of instruction
are tolerably high. There are public
libraries containing over 100.000 vol
umes, exclusive of pamphlets. All
this and more gives to the western cap
ital the atmosphere of an eastern seat
of learning.
" Governor Aldrich today descanted,
in the course of an automobile tour of
the city and its suburbs, upon the Ne
braska agricultural experiment station
as a peculiar institution. It has a very
well equipped plant, a beautiful orna
mental feature of which are large plots
of flowers that probably surpass any
of those magnificent gardens which
make the North Shore residences out
of Beverly a joy forever.
" 'We throw the town open every
winter.' said the governor, 'to 3,000 or
4,000 farmers and farmers' sons who
come down here for a week's instruc
tion. They find it much more profit
able and far less gloomy than setting
around the stores of the nearest vil
lage and exchanging gossip. They are
interested in the latest ideas on scien
tific farming.
" 'The information is all on tap for
them here. Our agricultural experts
are on hand to give the information
and the demonstration. The gathering
of so many men from all over the state
when their work is at a standstill is
equally unique and interesting. There
are social features of this annual gath
ering, one of which is a reception at
the governor's mansion.' "
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE
Nebraska has more things to be
proud of than any other state. She
ought to be making every one of them
known to all the world. Nebraska is
remiss in her duty to herself when she
fails to advertise her resources and pos
sibilities to the remotest corners of the
earth. Nebraska has some mighty big
things, thank you.
She has the largest creamery plant
in the world.
Her largest city, Omaha, is the great
est butter market in the world.
She has the third largest packing
center in the world.
She has the second largest smelter in
the world.
She is the third largest corn pro
ducer. She is the third largest dairying
state, and promises to be the largest
inside of ten years.
Her annual egg output is worth more
than the gold output of any state or
territory.'
Her annual butter, egg and poultry
output is worth more than the gold and
silver output of any two states or ter
ritories. Her annual output of corn and wheat
is worth more than the nation's annual
output of crude petroleum.
Her annual output of grains and
grasses ia worth more than the coal
output of Pennsylvania.
Her .'annual eorn output is worth
more than the nation's annual output
of eopper.
If one year's product of her farms
were loaded in standard freight cars
and the cars made into one train, the
train would reach from St. Petersburg,
Russia, to a point in the Paeifie ocean
nearly a thousand miles due west of
San Francisco, crossing the Baltic sea,
the English channel, England, Ireland,.,
the Atlantic ocean and the United
States.
She has nearly a million aeres in al
falfa, and the acreage is increasing at
the rate of 1Q per eent a year.
She has more than eight million dol
lars worth of interest bearing securities
in her permanent school fund, and
school property, including school lands,
worth $40,000,000.
She has 49,000,000 acres, three
fourths of it fertile and less than two
fifths of it under cultivation.
She has a climate unsurpassed, a soil
more fertile than that of the valley oif
