.Winter Wheat in
Chase County] Now
in Splendid .Shape
Prospects Excellent for Rec
ord Yield Throughout
Southwestern Section
of Nebraska.
Imperial, Nov. 25.—Chase county,
and In fact all the southwestern
part of Nebraska, has the finest
prospect for the winter wheat crop
it has ever had and the best to be
found in the state. Many thousand
acres of wheat were sown in all the
southwestern counties and with a
rain fall of from three to six inches
in the past 60 days the wheat in
every field now covers the ground
like a vast green carpet, and there
is plenty of moisture in the ground
1 o insure its going through the win
ter In fine shape. With favorable con
ditions in the spring this section of
ihe state will harvest the greatest
wheat crop In its history.
Corn shucking is progressing rapid
ly In Chase county, and while the pro
duction Is not as large as It was last
year, most of the farmers are getting
yields of from 20 to 40 bushels per
acre, and the quality is fair.
There will not be as many cattle
fed this winter as last, but nearly
every farmer has a drove of thrifty
liogs.
General business conditions in
chase county are good. Many farm
( rs who were in financial straits fol
lowing the depression after the war
are either paying out in full or aVe re
ducing their indebtedness to a point
where it is no longer burdensome.
The hanks report plenty of money on
hand, and even much more than is
needed for business requirements.
Some land has been changing
hands recently in this vicinity at
$65 to $100 per acre, the latter sum
being recently paid for an unim
proved farm three miles southeast
j i of Imperial. The purchasers of this
land are home people who are fami
liar with Its value.

Of course, four of a kind are never
exactly the same. They are of differ

Dixie Four are ail different, hut they
are alike inasmuch as each is a capa

.they are winners. The Dixie Four
