PROMISE FOR THE HARVEST IS BRIGHT ffcvaka Grala Men Apprehensive of Hesslaax Fir, hut Hopeful that Preaeat Prospect Mill Continue. The general opinion among grain men Is that th.. winter wheat In Nebraska has coma through the winter with unusually fine condition In all sections. The cold nai rather unusual, but the wheat In practically every county had an unusually good covering of snow and so did not suffer from winter-killing. There la some appre hension of the Hessian fly, however. Noth ing definite can be said on this yet, but some of the grain men fear It may do the next crop considerable damage. "The winter wheat condition Is splendid," said Nathan Merriam. "We have no re ports from any section which show any serious damage. The present outlook Is certainly promising. This Is rather early, of course, to say, and a thousand things may come up to alter the present promise before the grain is cut. As to Hessian fly, It Is too early to say whether or not It la to affect the crop.' We ought to know something about It In May." "The present condition of the winter wheat In Nebraska seems to be splendid," says Floyd J. Campbell. "The cold weather did not hurt It a bit, and, while It Is yet early to say, I believe we will have, a good stand ' and no replanting. I fear the Hessian fly will hurt us. I look for It to appear In York and Seward coun ties and possibly In Lancaster county. We cannot know this until May, but I fear the wheat may be affected." A, K.' Bewsher says; "The winter wheat condition Is excellent'. It Is yet early to make any crop predictions, but It seems assured the crop was not injured In the cold weather. There was an unusually good covering of snow, so that so far as we have heard it promises well. I have heard of no section where there Is talk of a poor prospect." v CHURCH HOWE AT ANTWERP Gallant Major Hands Ont Warm Jolly (or the Klna; of the Belgian. At a recent meeting of the Antwerp, Bel gium, Oolf club, nt which Consul General Church Howe of Nebraska was a guest of honor, he made a response to the toast, "America and Belgium." An Antwerp paper, In commenting upon Mr. Howe's response, said: At a moment when the Belgians are being unjustly criticized by a portion of the Knglish press it is pleusani to quote Mr. Howe's remarks, which were: "No one knows better or appreciates more the hospitality of the Belgians than the Eng lish and Americans now In Belgium. The spirit or noeriy wmcn reigns in tne country and benefits all creeds, commands our ad miration; while a profound study of the economic conditions makes us aware that few countries are more wisely governed. That Is why I proposed a toast which, I am convinced, will arouse as much en thusiasm with the English and Americans aa with the Belgians. Drain your glasses with me, gentlemen, 'here to his majesty, the king of the Belgians, a sovereign vigi lant and Just, who occupies himself with the well-being of hla people and Belgium, and tha happiness of bis subjects in Congo." PRESIDENT NOT COMING HERE Mr. Rooaerelfa Route Will Take Hint Far Booth of Omaha on Hla War West. President Roosevelt will not visit Omaha. The Commercial club, under tha belief that tha head of tha nation would come west and pass through either Kansas City or Omaha, started a movement to have him coma through thin city If possible and speak at tha Auditorium. The president's route, it Is understood, will take him far to the south. "When I left Washington," said Senator Millard, "It was the understanding Presi dent Roosevelt would go through Kentucky and Tennessee and pass through St. Louis or some point south of that city. I have not aeen hla Itinerary, but I am very sure he will not get' aa far north as Nebraska." NO. SU-CHlLnB' POUR-PIECE APRON. Sites, I to 10 years.
