WINTEIl WHEAT llEl'OUTED
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
The Nebraska May 1, crop report
shows a winter wheat condition of
02 per cent, and an ncroago abond
ment of 2 per cent, a ryo condition of
93 per cent, very largo stocks of
hay, slight decrease in acreage of
all hay and live stock losses below
the ten year average except in sheep
arc the salient features of the May
crop report of tho Nebraska Depart
ment of Agriculture and Bureau of
Crop Estimates.
About 2 per cent of tho acreage of
winter wheat was abandoned. Tho
greatest loss is In west central Ne
braska where drouth conditions pre
vailed last autumn, winter and this
spring. This leaves 3,235,000 acres
of winter wheat for harvest as com
pared with 3,335,000 acres harvested
last year. Tho condition of tho re
maining acreage is 92 per cent as
compared to 93 per cent last month,
and indicates a crop of 56,548,000
bushelB ns compared to 58,029,000
bushels last year. Except in west
central Nebraska tho stand of winter
wheat is very heavy and the crop is
farther advanced than usual for this
date. Soil conditions were very
favorable last autumn and the crop
waa planted earlier than usual. Low
temperatures this spring injured
some of the leaves and killed a few
of the stalks or branches, but most
of the wheat is still thicker than de
sirable.
Tho condition of rye is 92 percent
as compared to 92 per cent last
month. Tho adverse weather condi
tions reduced the acreage slightly in
west central Nebraska but the pres
ent condition is good. Some of the
oats were injured by the low tem
peratures and a few of tho fields
were rc-sccded. Preparation of
ground for corn is well advanced,
but planting is being delayed on ac
count of the cold conditions! of tho
soil. J
The acreage of wild hay isj report
ed at 96 per cent of a year ago. The
acreage of tame hay is the Is'ame as
a year ago. The condition of all hay
is 92 per cent. About 22 per cent
of last year's hay crop remains on
farms as compared to 15 per cent
the previous year. Tho condition of
pasture is 91 per cent.
The losses of live stock from ex
posure were less than last year due
to the mild winter and largo supply
of feed. The losses of horses and
cattle from disease were less than
those of the preceding year, but the
losses of sheep and swine wore great
er. Tho losses in sheep were large?
than that of the ten year average.
However, the present condition of
health is good, and is reported as
follows: Horses, 98 per cent; cattto,
98 per cent; sheep, 96 per cent; swine,
96 per cent.
Acreage and condition reports for
tho United States arc as follows:
winter wheat remaining for harvest
totals 38,721,000 acres compared to
37.773,000 acres hnrvested last yevir.
The condition is 88.8 per cent wV.ch
forecasts a crop of 629,287,000 bush
el" compared to 577,763,000 bushels
last year. Tho condition of rye Is
92.5 per cent which indicates a crop
of 72,007,000 bushels as compared to
69,318,000 bushels last year. Tame
hay, 50,879, acres compared to 57,
915,000 acres last year. Wild hay,
14,963,000 acres compared to 15,266,
000 acres last year. The condition
of all hay is 91.5 per cent. About
19,440,000 tons of last year's crop
of all hay remains on farms B3 com
pared with 11,377,000 tons a year
ago.

CHEAP ADVICE!
Advice is one of the cheapest things In the world. It's as free as
the air. No matter what vour troubles may be, just let it be
known and advice will come piling in.
The old maid knows how to rear children, the bachelor knows
just how a wife should be handled, and even a bald-headed drug
gist can sell hair tonic and get away with it but the advice you
seek, not the kind that is volunteered, is the kind you want. We
are not a volunteer in the advice business, but If you are a patron
of ourbank and ask advice on financial matters we will be glad
to help you in any way we can.
