HOilRD FIIIOS
NEBRASKA VERY
PROSPEROUS
Says Farmers in Western Part
. of the State Had Big Crops
and Received High
Prices.
"It is doubtful if there is any lo
cality in the United States, and for
that matter, in the world, that is
more prosperous than western Ne
braska," said S. B. Howard, im
migration agent for the Burlington,
who is in from an extended trip out
in the state.
According to Mr. Howard farmers
of the state, especially those in the
western portion, raised pretty close
to a bumper crop of small grain
and corn. Generally they marketed
the same at top prices and conse
quently have plenty of money. They
have been selling their hogs and
cattle at high prices and, have done
well with all of the livestock. The
winter has been ideal and just the
kind needed to assure a bountiful
crop during the coming year.
The potash industry is movi.ig
along in a most satisfactory manner,
says Mr. Howard, and numerous
producing wells are being sunk all
through the lake country. As a re
sult ot the available supply of
brine, at a number of the towns,
preparations are being made to in
stall evaporating plants and have
them in operation early next spring.
Mr. Howard asserts that Nebraska
potash producers are not worried
over the possibility of German pot
ash again coming into the United
States to be sold in competition with
the product of this state. After mak
ing an investigation, he gathers the
information that the Nebraska prod
uct can be sold at as low prices as
that exported from Germany, and
then pay the producers a big profit.
