What will the harvest be? The big
?est ever know in Sioux county.
The tin mines at Hills City are to be
rapidly developed 'and will afford a great
deal of material to take the place of
'what has been imported from foreign
countries in the past. That is an eilect
of the Mckinley bill.
With earthquakes on the Pacific coast
and hurricanes, tornadoes and Hoods in
the east and south, the people of north
west Nebraska have no cause for coni
p'.aiii for the kind of weather with which
tl'ey' have been served.
On last Friday, May 20th, a snow
storm, in some localities being a veritable
blizzard, occurred at Sioux City and
other Iowa points. At Hanover, N. IL,
snow fell on the same date to the depth
of five inches,

''Jack the Rije
Mel'x'urne on the

is supposed to have committed no less
than twelve murders and 'numerous
lesser crimes. It seems almost incred
ible that humanity can sink so low as to
commit such deeds.
.The month or May W92, will go down
in history as one noted for floods, rail
road accidents, cloudbursts and cyclones.
The number of deaths caused by un
natural causes during the present month
has been unprecented, while the loss of
property is appalling. A tidal wave of
disasters seems to have been sweeping
over most of the civilized nations.
A message was carried from Chicago
.to New York by bicycle rtfecs, a dis
tance of 975 miles, in four days, thirteen
hours and five minutes. The trip was a
test of the practicability of the use of
bicycles in the military service. The
most of the trip was made in rain storms
and over muddy roads and seems to have
'.been quite as severe a tejt as could have
been desired.
The article in another column from
.the Fremont Tribune on the matter of
road making is well worth reading by all
who are interested in having good roads.
,The old dirt roads are becoming very un
popular among the farmers for they
jhave found that by making goods roads
.they can save time, horseflesh and break
age sufficient to more than repay them
lor the actual cost of making good roads.
Conservative estimates place the loin-the
floods within a radius of twenty
n,iles of St. Louis at 10.000.000. What
the total loss to tl country is cannot be
estimated.
The supreme couit of the United

Washouts, floods, cloudbursts anil pro
tracted rains have destroyed much prop
erty and washed out and ruined many
thousands of acres of crop all over the
east. The result will be a greatly de
creased acreage of grain and an advanced
price for the grain on hand as well as
that grown this season. With the ex
cellent crop prospects in Sioux county
the farmers will prosper and many new
people will come here to get a home and
help develop and build up the country,
and that means prosperity to all.
The silver anniversary of Nebraska as
a state will be duly celebrated at Lincoln
today and tomorrow. To see what has
been accomplished in the way of develop
ment in twent3'-five years is indeed a
marvel and a lasting monument to the
push and energy of the people who came
to Nebraska to make homes. Tlie brav
ery of the warrior is made the theme of
song and story but there has never lieen
a braver or more noble class of people
than the home-builders who have con
verted the wilds of Nebraska into rich
and flourishing farms, villages and cities.

THE Joi'RSAL has it from unques
tionable authority that Hon. W. W,
Wood, of Rushville, is not a candidate
.for the congressional nomination. He is
.admitted to be good timber but does not
.seek the nomination, it is conceded that
Dorrington will have the northwest solid
.at his back and while anotner candidate
.sprung in his territory might draw
.some votes it would quite likely result
in the defeat of any one from the west
,end. Mr. Wood is for party success, not
personal aggrandizement.
The flood between St. Louis and Cairo
jhas rendered 10,000 people homeless and
.covers over 500,000 acres of land. The
Mississippi river is froin en to twenty
iles wide. The loss in foe wheat crop
fit that locality is estimated at not less
than 10,000,000 bushels. The floods have
frowned a yast amount of stock and cut
jup and ruined a great many farms. A
great many people have lost their
Jives by the floods and taken as a
,whole it is the worst calamity that has
efallep the country for years.
The Wyoming matters do not appear
to be nearing a settlement very rapidly.
The district judge for Johnsou county
has made a demand upon the governor
for the prisoners that they may be tried
according to law but the chief executive
declines to deliver the invaders to the
civil authorities. All expect that, any
attempt at a roundup will be the signal
for re-oneninsr the war and the result
cannot be predicted as to the near future,
but the final outcome is certain to be the
success of the settlers, and the removal
of the stock of the cattlemen. It has
been demonstrated time and again that
when the people got ready to settle up a
locality there was nothing which could
stop them, and those who were simply
occupying the country had to vacate.
With the removal of the stock of the
cattlemen the occupation of the rustlers
wonld be gone and they would le forced
to either become farmers or seek other
fields to pursue their nefarious business
and the actual settlers would be left in
peaceable possession of the country,
with none to molest or make them
afraid. The present indications are that
the authorities will have to devise some
method by w hich they can gather the
stock of the cattlemen and remove them
to some place where they will not inter
fere with the settlement of the country
for if the owners attempt to do the work
there is no question but what a number
of lives would be taken of each side.

The fact that the land in Sioux county
js all government land is a drawback to
jts settlement. If the land was part
railroad land or belonged to private par
ities they would have an object for w hich
po work for they would profit by the
sale thereof, but as it is no one derives
pny benefit but the general prosperity re
sulting from settlement. It is, therefore,
ns much to the interest of one as another
to get new people here and each should
do all he can to gain the desired end.
There appears to be a disposition on
the part of some politicians to attempt
to force Blaine into a contest for the
presidential nomination. Why such a
thing is desired by any one is not clear.
Blaine in the position he now occupies
bas ample opportunity to exercise his
ability as a statesman and a diplomat,
find it is doubtful if he could do as much
were he in the chair of the chief execu-
Benefits of the McKinlcy Tarift
London Times.
To The Editor of The Times: Sir As
doubtless you are aware, a census is
being taken in the United Stat9 of the
industrial results of the McKinley tariff
and its success in establishing new u
dustries and bringing increased oppor-
tunites for employment to the working
classes. The first returns have just been
collated. They show that in the last 18
months no fewer than 127 new factories
have been established and 53 old ones ex
panded. Four well-known English tex
tile firms have moved the whole or a
portion of their plant across the Atlantic
and many of the most skilled hands from
the tinplate mills in South Wales have
emigrated.
With such results, attended by the
notable increase in the American export
trade, contrasting with tlie continuous
decline in British exports and the daily
record oi diminisbmg employment for
English, Welsh, and Scotch artisans, the
hope is small, if not nil, of the early re
duction of the tariff, which has further
secured in many markets, an advantage
for American over British good under
the reciprocity clause. The Labor Cor
respondent will soon have a more rueful
tale to tell than the idleness at the pres
ent time of 14,000 skilled workers in
only ID trade unions comprising 232,000
workers. Tlie first chapters are now
being painfully learnt in many a home

Cut Worms in Corn.
Iowa Homestead.
The cut worm is one about which
nearly every corn grower has some
knowledge, unless he has been more than
usually lucky. How to get rid of it is a
thing that every farmer will be glad to
know. and. consequently, our reader-
will peruse with interest tlie following
report of a little- experimenting done by
Mr. Richard Baker, Jr., of Farley, Iowa.
Mr. Baker writing to the lTinwst'.-ad,
says:
"The creature in the cornfield is the
product of a moth that lnys its eggs at
the roots of the grass in the pastures and
meadows in the fall of the year, to be
hatched into worms during the corning
spring and summer. Starting from these
premises, I made some experiments in
lHSMJand , with shallow and deep
plowing as a remedy. The results
reached in the two seasons v. ere similar.
A strip of old meadow land containing
sixty acres was selected. It was one
hundred and sixty rods long and sixty
rods wide and was plowed in the latter
part oi April and the tirst weeks of May,
1MXJ. It was divided into three lots.
Lot 1 was plowed five inches deep, lot 2,
lour inches deep, and lot .5, eight inches
deep. The entire length of the field was
planted across the three lots or strips
with the same kind ol corn. When the
working of the corn was finished, July 5,
190, there was a marked difference in
the stand. The hills were counted and
examined by hundreds. Lot 1, plowed
rive inches deep, lost four per cent, of
the hills and some hills were thinned be
sides; lot 2, plowed four inches deep, lost
ten per cent, of the hills, and sustained a
considerably greater loss in thinned hills
than lot 1; Jot , plowed eight inches
deep, lost one per cent., and some counts
ran as high as 1J full hills without loss.
ine squares counted were in ail cases
tanen irom me center o! each lot as
plowed. It seems to me the thinner
the furrow slice, the sooner tlie planter
shoe cut through and left the seed corn
where the worm could get at it, while
the thicker eight inch sod turned the
grass and its contents so deep that the
worms were natcnea later and the corn
had time to establish itself in the soil be
fore their advent; it was thus able to re
sist the ravages of the worms. The soi
in the three lots was similar on the sur
face, (deep, porous, clay subsoil) and in
its corn producing strength. It was old
meadow land, timothy and clover, red
and white, with lots of grass and green
growth through it In plowing old sod
deep the plow lay should lie half an inch
wider at the heel than the plows gauze,
so as to cut the furrow slice clean and
let it fall Hat. W hen the team "teeters'
in its walk some is uncut and mi In tlw
surface so that it does not plant as nice
ly us a smooxn sunace."
Mr. Baker is a careful and observant
farmer who think about his work
larming with head as well as hands.
His plan of plowing deep taking care
to turn the furrow clear over and bury
the cut worm eggs so deep as to delay
hatching till the corn has gotten its
start, has rr.asou and good sense at the
bottom of it We incline to think that
the difference in lops may fairly be as
cribed to the causes to w hich he assign
inern.
