One morning a few weeks ago, a
progressive young farmer of an ad
Joining county sent three loads of
wheat to market, selling to three ele
vators owned by one company in near
by towns along the same railway line.
The towns have the same freight rates
on grain in carload lota to the prin
cipal markets. Under our Anti-Discrimination
Law the company oper
atlng in three towns should pay the
same price for wheat at each of the
three elevators. Do they? In this
case the farmer received two cents
more per bushel at the intermediate
town. Why'.' The fact that a 'Farm
ers' Elevator Company with a rather
aggressive management Is located
there may have some inilueuce. If
the "line elevator" is paying a fair
price when there is independent com
petition, bow about the price they
offer in other towns? It seems evi
dent that marketing as well as pro
duction of farm crops demands atten
tion At the present time prices for
grain are far from uniform. The real
question Is, "what are we going to do
about it?"

CttN AND THE WAltt MIPPtY
According to the reports of the
weather bureau, June is our mouth of
heaviest rainfall. The average for
May aud July Is a little less thuu June
while August has but three-fourths as
much as July aud September. Corn
uses the most moisture in July aud
August. One of the most important
factors of successful corn production
in Nebraska is conserving the moist
ure which falls in May aud June so
that the plant may use it in July and
August. Considerable moisture will
always be loht by suiface evaporation,
but a good dust mulch otters some
protection.
lty far the greatest needless loss of
water from Nebraska cornfields is the
water used by weeds. We do not
usually lutvtt auy more moisture than
the corn 'needs, so that the amount
used by other plants is a direct Toss to
t.ie corn ciop. It is usually considered
thai weeds which come up after thu
corn shinies the ground will uot reach
suiHcteiit &lie to sap the ground. The
damage generally comes from weeds
which were left when the coin was
cultivated. They have grown with
the corn aud always seem to absorb
their full share of nourishment aud
moisture.
Our wheat harvest aud second cut
ting of alfalfa come ui it time when
ihe corn still needs attention. liccuuse
ot this the weeds loo often gel a good
start aud in an vifott to cover them
tne shovels are sei down deep and thu
dirt Hies. This last cultivation should
be shallow aud the Held should be lelt
as level us possible. Kidging up thu
corn serves no use! ul purpose, but in
creases suiface evaporation. If the
coin is clean after the tirsl aud second
cultivations it is uot necessary to stir
the giouud deep the third and lotirlh
limes over, as the smull weeds are
easily covered.

First In The Union
It ia with commendable satisfaction
that the state board of agriculture calls
atteution to the condition of crops in
Nebraska. Data complled.by the state
board agrees in every way with the
skilled investigation of the govern
ment experts. The state and govern
ment reports appear ut the same time.
The government estimate make Ne
braska the first state in the .union on
crop conditions with a credit of 12.7
percent above the average on all crops.
Iowa is second with nn average of 7.(1
percent.
One of the big increases In crop acre
ages seems to be in planting of alfalfa.
The crop report of the statu board of
agriculture, issued June 10, says:
"According to the tabulations of Ne
braska assessors there Is atrcmendous
increase in the planting of alfalfa for
l!)i:i. . if the average of the first five
eastern counties reporting is continued
Nebraska will pass Kansas and be first
in the Union in alfalfa acreage aud
production. The figures of the assess
ors in these counties show au increase
of 50 percent iu alfalfa acreage.
"For winter wheat the increase in
acreage in five counties has been 20 per
cent.
"On corn the increase iu acreage is
apparently 41 percent".
