NEB SKA h JAMES C OLSON, Suptnnttnd TATS aiSTOSICAl IOC1ITT CHEYENNE COUNTY County history in the south ern half of Nebraska's pan handle traces inevitably through old Cheyenne County, which like Nebraska itself, originally embraced a much greater area than it does today. As original ly established in 1867, the boun daries of Cheyenne County in cluded all of the present coun ties of Kimball, Cheyenne, Deuel. Garden, Morrill, Banner, and Scottsbluff. Initially there was very little demand for county government in the area and for three years the vast county of Cheyenne was simply attached to Lincoln County for judicial and revenue purposes. By the summer of 1870, however, the population j had grown to such an extent and conditions had so stabilized as to warrant the establishment of local government and on Aug ust 14. pursuant to a proclama tion issued by Governor David Butler, the first election was held in Cheyenne County. As the panhandle settled up, Cheyenne County decreased in size. Banner, Deuel and Scotts bluff counties were organized after the voters of Cheyenne County, in an election held No vember 6, 1888, authorized the dismemberment of their original county. Morrill was organized in the same way, after an elec- tion held November 3, 1903. Gar den was organized in 1909 by splitting Deuel. The settlement of Cheyenne County dates largely from the construction of the Union Pa cific railroad which built into the panhandle in 1867. Fort Sidney was established along the Lodgepole to protect con struction crews and the trains themselves from the Indians. Around Fort Sidney there de veloped a booming frontier town. The discovery of gold in the Black Hills provided a great im petus to the growth of Sidney, and the middle seventies saw the town the terminus of an important trail leading to the gold fields of the Black Hills. The Sidney-Black Hills trail was discussed at length in NEBRAS KA HISTORY, the quarterly journal of the State Historical Society, some years ago. Early Sidney was as rough and tough as any of the west's fron tier towns. In his history of Nebraska, published in 1882, A. T. Andreas describes it with the following words: "... large crowds of strangers, many of them a rough class of adventur ers . . . cowboys for hundreds of miles of country . . . headquar ters for hundreds of bull-whackers . . . the saloons and dance houses . . . not only objects of wonder and curiosity, but of ter ror as well." As of 1882, however, Mr. An dreas wanted to make it clear that things had changed. He wrote: "'Sufficient is it to say that the town is becoming more moral in its own tone. There now being only four murderers in jail here and their crimes were all committed outside of town." Cheyenne, rich in cattle, wheat and oil. is one of the few Ne braska counties whose 1950 pop ulation is the all time high in the history of the county. In 1950 Cheyenne returned a total of 12,081 representing rapid growth since 1870 when a total of 190 persons appeared on the census rolls. OLD NEBRASKA CLAY COUNTY- Clay County was originally or ganized in 1855. At the next session of the legislature in 1856, Clay County was relocated about forty miles east of its original site. There was more shifting of the name and site and the county's present boundaries were "not established until 1867. Even this, of course, was in advance of settlement. John B. eston, who later became state auditor, arrived in 1857 and took l"d on the Little Blue. He was followed by a few others, but it was not until the early 70s that any appreciable settlement veloped in Clay County. In 1870, the total population of the county was 54. So rapid was the growrth during the 70's, how ever, that by 1880 the county returned a total of 11,294, con siderablv more than the 8.700 returned in the census of 1950. County government was or ganized in 1871. The county's early political history like that of many other Nebraska county is enlivened with a bitter tm I I U-LkA I 5S ',t ki V S,-Y- i - county seat controversy. The principal contestants were Har vard and Sutton, the voting strength of each being equal. After repeated elections, law suits and a great deal of wrang ling the issue was finally settled by the selection of Clav Center j as the seat of government. The early settlement of Clay County, was greatly aided by the i tiiauui-uun iuuiuuus uiruugn I the county. In the autumn of iux, uic oux iiiiiuii ana jvus souri River railroad in Nebraska was completed to Sutton. Dur ing the next summer the St. Joseph and Denver Citv built into the county. Served by the two railroads, Clay County was able to attract settlers more readily than many other Ne braska counties. Initially, the railroad appears to have been something of a mixed blessing for Sutton: Ac cording to the centennial sketch of Clay County, read by Dr. Mar tin Clark at the 4th of July cele bration in Sutton, July 4th, 1876, the B. & M. sought to ignore the existence of Sutton altogether and this apparently left a good deal of hard feelings in the hearts of the residents of this pioneer Clay County railroad town. In common with other pioneer Nebraskans. the early settlers of Clay County had to contend with drought, grasshoppers and depression. The early years of settlement were particularly hard, and it is amazing that the county grew as rapidly as it did in the decade of the 70's. The high point in Clay Coun ty's growth was 1870 when a total of 16.310 persons were re ported. Since that time there has been a steady decline in population, most serious being in the decade of the SO's .when the population declined 13,571 to 10,445.

Areas of infestation are marked by dead turf 4 within which the dead grass Dlants may be lifted from the soil with ease. The damage will usually be found in spots but in some cases the entire lawn may be infested. The adults of these insects are the well known brown or brown ish black June beetles, which are sometimes called May beetles. O. S. Bare, associate profes sor of entomology, University of Nebraska, says the white grub can be controlled by applying 1 pint of 45 per cert chlordane emulsion to each 2,000 square feet of yard surface. The chlordane emulsion must be diluted with water if it is to be applied evenly over the yard. The amount of water will vary with the type of sprayer used. After spraying with chlordane, the yard should be thoroughly watered. This treat ment will last for one year and has been known to last for sev eral years. Since strawberry plants are often infested with the white grub, Bare recommends the treatment of the soil with chlordane before establishing a new strawberry patch. Thil will give protection against grubs for three to five years. N This same treatment is effective in establishing new lawns.
