YIELD GOOD PROFIT State Crop is Fine and Market Booms General Short- -' age Elsewhere. $1.60 BUSHEL TO GROWERS With the end of the present week. the Nebraska potato harvest will come to an end. While no figures are available on the yield, it is known that it will be fully up to the normal, if not greater. It is asserted that the yield per acre has not been so great as during some past years, but the in creased acreage will bring the total yield up to that of any former year. Up in the potato growing section of the state the northwest portion farmers have been getting more for their potatoes than ever before. Also, on account of the recognized excel lent quality of Nebraska potatoes, they have gone, further frjbm home tnan ever oetore. Rushville , Alliance, Herningford, Chadron, Gordon and Hay Springs have come to be the gratest potato shipping stations in the United States, and this year buyers from nearly every state in the union have been there bidding on the crop and com peting sharply for the offerings. Up to and including October 24, these stations in Nebraska had sent out 1,554 carloads, or around 1,500, 000 bushels. Of course there are a good many potatoes yet to move, but the bulk of the crop has gone for ward, generally having been -bought by commission men. Net Profits Good. This year the potato crop has made the growers some good money. It is estimated that the yield has been in excess of 100 bushels per acre, and that the price has averaged in excess of $1 per bushel; delivered a,t the load ing stations. In addition to this, these potatoes have been grown on land that has been fetching from $50 to $75 per acre.

This fact stimulated the prices and the Nebraska potatoes commenced to advance, soon reaching $1 and better 1 per bushel. At this time, at the Nebraska ship ping stations in the northwestern J part of the state, growers are getting - $1.35 to $1.60 per bushel, and are eagerly sought after at even these prices. When the same potatoes get down into the consuming sections of the country, they sell freety at around ' $2 and $2.25 per bushel, or 50 to 75 cents more per bushel than those from the irrigated .- sections ; further DOLLAR CORN HITS OMAHA EXCHANGE Highest Mark Ever Attained by v0ereal in Actual Cash Sale on This Market. ' Brownell Hall Girls Engage in Political Campaign Preparatory to Their Election west. WHEAT ADVANCES LITTLE V Dollar corn has arrived, not the op tion, but the. real corn. A carina of it sold "at ?l,pcr bushel on tin floor of' the Omaha Grain exchange yesterday. The corn that fetched this record price was No. 2 cl!uv. of last year's crop, grown in Ante lope county, Nebraska. Omaha grain dealers have talkci' dollar corn, hut none of them havi ever seen any of it before and few o them have expected the cereal to reach this price. Some of the oldest among the old-time grain men assert that during the war of the rebellion, between 1861 and 18b4. corn sold at $1 per bushel, but never before, or since., Now that it has hit the dol lar mark, they are not making any predictions relative to future prices. On the whole, corn was (Jf2 cents higher, the bulk of it selling around 9b98 cents per bushel. Re ceipts were twenty-two carloads. Wheat Advances. Wheat prices failed to score a new top price, but they reacted and ad vanced 2i4 cents over the slump of Wednesday and Thursday. .They firmed up during the early hours of the session of the exchange and con tinued hard up to the close, advancing near to the top of the early days of the week. Receipts again were fairly heavy, there being 191 carloads on the mar ket. Prices for cash were $1.77K 1.81 and the demand strong from 'both millers and exporters. Continued re ports of a short crop in Argentina, it was asserted, in a large measure was responsible for the sharp advance in the market. Durum made another advance and came close to the top price, selling at $1.82 per bushel. The top is about a cent better than this price and was reached early in the week. Oats' is Strong. ( Oats, like all other kinds of grain, was strong, the advance being MVi cents per bushel, the sales being made at 49&51J4 cents. Receipts were sixty-two" carloads, a large quantity of the grain being taken for shipment south for feeding and to the Iowa cereal mills for grinding.
