This will assure you of buying land at a reasonable price, and not
allowing some agent ie tack on five' or ten dollars more" per acre
..than the land can be bought for. They fcave just hprested 25 to SO
Ji bushels of whewt. This isjjje fourtli'ycfy of food crops? Prices range
from twenty to forty dollars per acre, according to location. Titles

What Kind of Plates Are
in YOUR Battery?
The big value of your storage battery
quick starts- and longer life de
pends largely upon the battery plates.
Soft Plates
provide plenty cf "pep" onil power while the
battery is new, but quickly wear down nnd lose
their strength, making a short-lived battery. '
Hard Plates
' provide long life nnd staying ability, but the bat
ery lacks tho "pep" nnd power necessary for
quick starts, good lights .nd ignition.
Perfected Process Plates
are the"only plates that combino the good fea
tures of both. Prest-O-Lite Perfected Process
Plates have a super-hard center or "backbone"
yet the surface is porous and therefore super-sensitive
to the electro-chemical action which creates
electricity for starting, lighting nnd ignition. They
give greater "pep," power nnd longer lifo to every
Prest-O-Llte Battery.
Be sure your next battery has these plates.

Winter wheat will average 14.0
bushels nor acre accoiding to tho
preliminary estimates on yield just
announced by A. E. Anderson and E.
IJ. Danlelson of tho Butcau of Crop
Estimates and Nebraska Dcard of
Agriculture. The yield was 11.1 bush
els last year and the ton year aver
age 17.-1 bu'liclp. Tho total produc
tion is 49,000,000 busho'o compared
to :13,.1 70,000 bushels last year. Tho
test ranges from 03 pounds to 48
pounds or less, the average being
considctably lower than usual. Tho
wenther was generally excellent for
harvesting and threshing. A lnrgo
per cent of the crop was stacked.
he condition of spring wheat at
the time of harvest was 51 per cent,
compared to 89 per cent a month
ago. Spring wheat is a greater dis
appointment than winter wheat, duo
largely to black stem rust, though
other factors may be partly respon
sible. The indicated yield is 8.9 bush
els per acre, compared to 11.9 bush
els last year, and the production is
7,246,000 bushels compared to 9,663
000 bushels last year. The prelimin
ary estimate of all wheat is 56,246
000 bushels compared to 43,141,000
bushels last year.
The August 1 condition of corn
wa.i 81 per cent compared to 88 per
cent a month ago, which indicates
a production of 174,830,000 bushels
compared to 123,086,000 bushels last
year. The deterioration is confined
largely to counties south of the
Platte river and extending west
ward from the Missouri river to Ad
ams and Franklin counties. This sec
tion of the state was in a very crit
ical condition, much of the corri be
ing stunts! nd some of it had lw;
gun to fire. The balance of the ptate
with few exceptions was in good
condition. Central, south-central and
some of the western Nebraska coun
ties had an excellent condition.
Northeastern Nebraska was in good,
condition, but wars needing, rain. ,
The condition of oats at the 'time
of harvest was 85 per cent compar
ed to 95 per cent a month ago. .Thjs
indicates a production of 73,40f,wQ
bushels compared to the final esti
mate of 56,188,000 bushels last year1.'
The southeastern quarter of the
state has a better crop of-'oats than
the northeastern, which is rather ex
ccptional. There was very little rust
on oats grown south of the Platte
river, which may account for tho
relatively better yield than winter
wheat as both crops ripened under
similar weather conditions and oats
are considered to be more suscep
tible to damage from high temper
ature than wheat.
The condition of barley at tho
time of harvest was 85 per cent
which should give a production of
7,880,000 bushels compared to 5,660
000 bushels last year. The prelimin
ary estimate on the yield of rye is
14.5 bushels and the production 5,
959,000 bushels compared to 5,005,
000 bushels last year.
The condition of potatoes was re
duced from 91 per cent to 69 per
cent during the 'past month. The in
dicated production is 8,411,000 bush
els compared to 10,106,000 bushels
last year. High temperatures, in
sects and drouth are largely rcspon
sible for the lowered condition. On
account of reduced acreage and low
condition, the commercial crop prom
ises a much smaller crop than last
year. Moisture is needed at once to
prevent further deterioration.
The condition of all hay is good.
The yield of wild hay is excellent.
The first crop of alfalfa was very
large and tho second crop was good.
These sections, which have been fa
vored with moisture the last month,
will have a good third crop, while
in other sections the crop has been
damaged by drouth.

JUN1UK CLUB WOKK
The .farm boys of. today must bear
greater responsibilities than the
farm boys of yesterday. More food
must be produced on an acre, if the
world is to be fed and satisfactory
interest earned on rapidly increas
ing land values. Intensive farming
is at hand. To meet these heavier de
mands, our boys must learn new
methods. To follow in their fathers
footsteps is to hold production at
its present level.
One of the most encouraging
signs of the times is the intqrest
shown in Boys' and Girls' Clubs.
They are not only learning "New
Ways" in Agriculture, but actually
putting them into practice. But
more than this, the Club is creating
in them the desire to become mas
ters in the art of farming.
