A very practical conservation move ment has been undertaken by tho Chicago, Partington and Qitluej Hull road by inducing farmers along its right of way to cultivate tho railroad's land adjoining their farms. Over Coo country dwellers took advantugo of this plan last year, paying the nomi nal fee of $.", which entitles thorn to utilize tlie land adjoining theirs for an indefinite period, Tins soil, which is usually very rich because- so long un titled, Is planted to alfalfa and the yield has been as high as eight tons to tlie acre. The aveiago amount of land which each man cultivates Is three acres. The arrangement lessens tlie weed menace for ttio near-by Holds and, since alfalfa remains green a long time, It lessons tho danger of prairie tires. At the same time the road is saved tho cost of mowing the right of way. The Hamilton - Gather Clothing Co. Socceuui to Pul Store Everything a Man or Boy Wears Med Cloud Nebraska Powell Bros.

Gloomy Prospects for Wheat The following figures give the per ('outage yf Winter Wheat repotted dead it: ouch County as reported by the Nebraska State Hoard of Agticul tine. Most of this vast acreage will be planted to corn, with some to oats, and tho rest to spring wheat whero seed wns available. Wo would like at tliK time to call the attention of tlie Nebraska farmers to the fact that In l'.il.'i there were nearly Two Million acres put to winter wheat in twenty seven counties south of the Platte t Ivor. eaa of tho west lino of Phelps and Harlan county, and probably more than that last fall. To again seed this vast acreage it will take well over two n illioti bushels tills fall, and wo advice the farmers who have last year's crop, or a portion thereof, on hand, to keep tlie same until it 1m a known fact that your neighbors have their seed for this fall. Save Nebraska's 1018 wheat crop by making sure that wo have seed.
