Dui-lntr Saturday aftornoon he had allowed his feelings to bn more- than usually excited and this excitement, perhaps, severed tho weakened threads that united him to lite.

Nebraska Corn Improvers' Association Siibsui ibers will be Interested 111 thu 101'J Fic-uero Hard Winter Wheat contest which is open to every whpiit growor in tho state. Thiec years ago the South Platte Millers' Association donate' n $200 silver trophy to be awarded annually by" the Nebraska Corn Improvers' Association to the wheat grower In Nebraska producing a fi-acro Held giving the highest yield per acre of good quality hard winter wheat. In addition to this trophy, thu Nebraska Corn Improvers' Association offers 850 in cash prizes to bu awarded as follows: First Premium $2000; Second premium $15.00; Third pre mium $10,00; and Fourth premium S. The object of this contest is to pro mote the growing of more and better hard winter wheat. Nebraska now prndure'45',O0O,O0O bushels of wheat annually, which is three times as much as twenty years ago. During the last ten years, wheat has averaged four bushels per aero more than during any previous ten year period. Those In crcsses I'.ro due chiefly to increased acreage, the replacing of spring wheat with Turkey winter, and better methods of sowing, especially tho use of the press drill. Tho Nebraska production of wheat can and should be still greatly increas ed. There is no hotter way of arous ing interest thau for the wheat growers ortfioNtto to enter into a friendly contest of this character. It will do much to call attention to the best methods of wheat growing. It costs nothing to enter.
