Yes, Ked Cloud will eolebrnte and
you are Invited. This effort msy not
quite equal Hie dlsplny in Now York
City but It Is nl mod to make tills
year's event the greatest ever pulled
en In this county. Every effort Is be
ing made for your comfort and we
want you to come. llrlng the liable4
and Grandpa.
With nil due respect to the city
Council wo suggest that thu city
should comply with its own ordinances
Some time ago nolieu was served on all
residents of thu city to cut all weedy
mid tall grass found abounding and
abutting on the municipal t hominies,
mid notice also stated that failure to
comply with this request would result
in the city assuming the Job and tlm
costs would bo assessed Hgaiusl the
property. Now a number of citizens
have compiled with this law adopted
by the City Council, their lawns and
ul ley h Hie clean uud neat but the ap
pearance U much spoiled by the muk
vegetation growing in tlu streets.
This is a queer condition of h flairs.
If the city deslies to have all private
property present a splc and span ap
pearance It should tet a good example
bv cleaning the streets. This would
have a most wholesome effect and
citizens would more readily fall in
with the plans of the city futhcis il
they themselves would obey their own
ordinance.
Just what to do with the auto
mobiles is a problem that is confront,
ing the smaller cities of tho state.
Uurown council sought to eonllne thes-e
machines in rest lie ted districts but
owners who have considerable money
invested In their nutos do not like to
leave them where they are. liable to
meet with mishap and thievcty. On
tho other hand it is an injustice to the
merchant uud his customers to luie
the entrance to thu stores stopped up
with' a lot. of machines There arc two
sides to tho question. Merchants
want all the trade they can got and do
not want to drive any trade away by
Irksome regulations. Superior hah
bty upon a plan to stack all machines
iu'the center of the streets thus al
lowing the cars to bo in plain sight
od'tbe stores easy of access. This
plan seems feasible and we believe
ahxmld be given a trial. Owners of
cars seem to think it an Injustice to
them to be forbiddett the streets while
no effort Is made to stop buggies and
wagons from the side walk. Cities
that have a square In tbe center of the
bpsinessi district have escaped the
difficulty. Someplau must be adopted
bo it will be agreeable to all concern

Ukkkiiai. Conditions. The o r o p
season for ID ill seems most Mattering.
As noted In tho May report, wheat,

characterized by generous preclnltu-

tlon and cold weather, which has hIvoh
small ralu mots excellent chance for
development. Dampness ban been ie
llewd by sunshine Mid warm weather
the first week In June. We have pass
ed through the early season with little
diimnge from Hoods or washing taino.
Tho lush period Is now on with the
farmers, and there Is evety reason to
belluvo that the year will be nn except
tonally profitable one for Nebraska.
Wi.sii.ii Viii:.v,t Reports from vari
ous sources coveting all sections of the
state Indicate that the estimates on
the Nebraska wheat situation have
been exceptionally conservative. They
Indicate a wheat crop condition of
about.107 as compared with the normal.
The llurllngtoti railway has made a
careful atid extended study of the
yheat crop. Their reports for the
week ending June 7 show that tiie
average for the Omaha division wasl0:i
as compared with 101 the week before
On the Lincoln division the estimate
was J0. in compared with 1011, while
tho V)iiinie division reported 100 in-
stead of the 107 of tho week before.
For the .MeCook division the estimate
was DO Instead of 81.
Hut the liuilliu'toii authorities ad
mitted Jthnt tho estimates could bo
atsed 10 to 15 per cent and still be
very conservative. In this regard tho
tabulations agieo witli those of the
State Hoard of Agriculture, 'which in
dicate tho following: Umatm division
105, Lincoln division 107, Wj more div
ision 107, MeCook division 01. On the
MeCook division there was a general
rain after the tabulations were made.
The precipitation was reported as fol
lows: Mi n den .&!, Ked Cloud .'.,"i,
lleiikelmau .-.", liohlrege .7.1, Orleans
l.ul), Imperial .fin, Arapahoe .'2.1, Me
Cook .51.
There can be no doubt that tills rain
fall assisted materially in improving
tho wheat situation.
Si'iiiNO Wiikat, Spring wheat is to
ported in excellent condition, being
held back somewhat by damp, cool
weather. Figures are not yet available
on tiie acrcHgc.
Oats. The OHt situation shows con
tinued improvement with a decided in
crease in acreage. The stand is report
ed salistactory Uud growth has been
rapid..
Cokn. Accoidiug to the Kiirlington
emulates, corn crop conditions are
ilxcd at 100 per cent as compared with
tint uoimal. The wet weather held
buck the planting, but the entire crop
is now in thegiAuud and theie is every
reason to believe that r0 per cent liur,
boon cultivated once.
(iood growing weather has aided ma
terially in ovcrcSmlug'thc backward
uojs of tho season, and there is no
reiisjn for pessimism in regard to the
outluok on coin,
Ai.r.t.rA. The llrst crop has been
harvested except In the high altitudes.
Tho yield lias been enormous. Grow
ers experienced considerable difllculty
on account of the wet weatjier uud
much of the tlrst crop was spoiled as
to color. ,
Live Stock. The year has been ex
ceptionally good for dairymen and
stock growers. The pastures are in
excellent condition in all parts of .the
state. ,
Fuuit. In genera), the orchardists
are optimistic in the extreme. The
apple crop is expected to break all re
cords, while the peach, cherry, and
berry situatlonls entirely satisfactory.
Damp weather will slightly reduce
the yield of the Winesaps, but all other
varieties are promising the best of
yields. The orchard ex pert 8 are devot
ing their attention to spraying and
many arc already looking for help to
aid in picking uud packing a bumper
crop.
Hall was reported in two localities
of eastern Nebraska. Comparatively
little damage was done. Seventeen
year locusts made their appearance
neur Nebraska City, but the damage
will be coullued to the twigs of tins
fruit trees, while the yield will not be
affected for this year. Precautious
have been taken to stop the ravages of
these insects uud the fruit men are
fc5
ia
not alarmed by the visitation.
Acrrafir. Reports
Aecoidltig to tho tabulations of NV
biaska assessor there is a tremendous
Increase in the planting of alfalfa for
Itll.'l. If tho average of tho llrst five
eastern counties reporting is continued
Nebraska will pass Kansas and be
first In tho Union in alfalfa acreage
and production. The figures of the
assessors In these counties show nn in
crease of iiO per cent in alfalfa acrcHge.
For winter wheat the Increase in
acreage In five counties has been 'JO
per cent.
On corn the increase lu acreage is
apparently 41 per cent.
Market gardeners report ideal condi
tions. Ktrawbpnies have been excell
ent and small fruits are lu flue condi
tion. The liurliugton crop report
declare; that there will be such a large
cherry yield lu eastern Nebraska that
to harvest and handle the crop will be
dillkmlt.
