t/y heavy snow aud wind storms.
The anow storm of last week ex
tended from Denver to the Atlantic
ai.d from Daketa to Texas and es
pecially in the eastern state* did
great damage. V*. Chicago all corn,
runniest ion with the outside world
and with Us own suburbs were com
pletely cut oir by the falling of the
telegraph wires, they being unable
to hold the heavy weight of snow
and ice which stuch fast to than.
In the streets of the eity anow a ad
slush was piled high and locomotion
made difficult and dangerous.
Other eastern cities are reported in
about the same condition.
... - . _ •
Now is the beat time to invest in
Nebraska soil and those who are
permanently located here will do
well to remain. Such a drouth as
we have had in the past two years
has never been known before in tha
history of the stats and it is only
reasonable to suppose that it will
not come again with the present
generation. From all over the
state comes tire report that there is
plenty of moisture and that the
ground is in excellent condition.
We have already had two good
falls of snow this fail and at the
present writing sleighing is the best
known here for three years last
past Everything confirms the
prediction that the drouth period is
broken and hereafter will only he
known in history. An era of pros
perity may confidently be expected
to commence with next year
N MIKAfiKA BAlXrALL.
riie agricultural experiment sta
tion of the statu university has just
issued a press bulletin regarding
the rainfall in Nebraska for the
past twenty years ikat eont aius
much valuable information, and it
is especially valuable to those who
have commenced to loose faith in
the state
The first important fact that it
y contain* is that the entire weat ha*
suffered more or less severely from
drouth for the pust three vests,
Nebraska being more seriously ef
fected than some of her ueigbhora.
The almost total failure in 1*W4 sod
the partial failure this year natural
lv ciaised it feeling of uurest and
man\ to become ao discouraged
that the ipiealion has beeu raised in
their minds whether they would not
better forsake tbair farms for a
mote ftitoraldv locality.
hi view of this feeling the otttcers
of 'll* impertinent station have col
lected data, showing the average
rainfall not only tu Nsb.*»»ka but
also m the states nuuictliaUdy sur
rounding u» These ftp urea show
thst Nebraska is as well favored lit
. this reap* »t aa .my of her slater
slates, Mikola 'lowing less and
tliunesola and low* showing only s
•lightly laru i pie* ipitation Tins
,s t.ikieg tlic average for iiie past
r a mitt t»aia, including the lioee
tears of drotiih
The average rainfall |w*r tear in
HI £ t
Nebraska ia ‘iS.ftS Inches. Ia 1*1*1
it was largely in exceaa of that a
mount, IHtfJl showed Id,*, In 1804
it waa 13,31, while title year It haa
been IK.
A further investigation shows
that nearly 70 per cent of our year
ly rainfall haa been during the five
growing months, from April to Hep
tcmber. In this respect there Is no
state that ha* averaged better than
Nebraska. The further fact ia
shown that the precipitation during
July and August, the corn maturing
months, has been d.ftft and 2 «'<3 re*
apectively—an abundance.
The bulletin closes with the fol
lowing sensible remarks:
Thua it appear* both from a com
pariaon of our yearly rainfall for
the paet nineteen years with that
of other states and from a study of
its distribution through the months
of the year, that the paet two or
three seasons have represented cli
mate conditions which are excep
tionable rather than normal, and
which are to be expected occasion
ally rather than ordinarily in Neb
_I- _
A Fr#«i*bt» Kaffir Cr»*«
Tb* farmers of Oklahoma have
been experimenting wltk tbe new
K afllr corn, and they are now ready
lo declare that it will bring more
money to the farmer* of tbe United
Ktates than all of the famous gold
mines of the Kaffir eountrv from
wlrlcb It comes. An enthusiast
write* from Guthrie that a short
season of experiment proved that
the new corn would mature a full
crop in tbe drysst aid hoteat taat
on the high wsstarn plains. Now
he say* a more thorough trial has
developed the fact that “wtiether
the season wss wet or dry, cool or
hot, long or short, this new prrxlurt
would thrive on all kind* of aoila
with the minimum of care and culti
vation, and planted any time be
tween the 1st of April and tbe mid
dle of July it would mature an ab
aolutelv *urs crop of grain and fod
der before tbe frosts of autumn.
It will grow iuxeriantly on the aod
of newly broksu ground, produce
fine crop* either on bottom or up
land, i* a natural enemy of waada
ur.d will be as clean with two culti
vuiiotis a* Indian corn will be with
four tlmefc as many,”
In Oluhoma and southern Kaoaas
ho rnuah of Ibis corn was prodacsd
last season that the people hardly
knew for a time what to do
with it. They found it good in its
natural state for table use, bat did
not realize its real commercial im
portance until a miller of Medicine
Lodge, Kae , ground it into mean
Tbia was found in every way equal
to corn meal. Than the miller ex
perimented a little more and Anally
produced a product that they aay
will “create a revolution in the
world’s breadatnifa." It ia Kaffir
Hour. Bread made from it ia tweet
to the taste, highly nutritious and
aattsfaetory to the eye, being about
the color of the beat graham bread.
The talk coming from Kansas and
Oklahoma about the hardiness and
produotivenesa of the new corn,
and ila value ea a food produet, la
pitched at ao high a key that we
mnat make considerable deductions
for the enthusiasm of the into who
have brought it out. But it is wtll
worth tryiug in western Kansas and
wealarn Nebraska It wilt Join well
with alfalfa and the sioek indualry
in carrying wealth to that region.
