WINTER WHEAT SHOWS BIG GAIN OVER NEBRASKA First Crop Report of Season Issued by Burlington Rail road Estimates 3,500,000 Acres Winter Wheat. Three million, Jive hundred thous and acres of winter wheat 5n Ne braska, as against 3,135,000 last year is the estimate of the Burlington Railroad company, according to its first crop report of the season, just out of the office of the general superintendent. The condition of the Nebraska winter wheat, taking the state as a whole, is a little better than 100 per centi In making comparisons, for the purpose of arriving at conditions, 100 per cent is taken as the basis, this figure being' accepted as the average crop for a' period of ten years. Four divisions of the Burlington system in Nebraska cover practical ly all the winter wheat area of Ne braska. At this time the condition of the cereal throughout the respec tive divisions is: Division. Condition. Omaha , 100 per cent Lincoln 3 par cent Wymora 107 per cent McCook 102 per cent Estimate Seventy Million. Croo experts of the Burlinuton contend that in the event wheat conditions maintain the present average up to harvest time, fhe yield would be around 70,000,000 bushels. Prospects are much more favor able for the harvesting of a bumper crop than they were a year ago at this time. One year ago the condi tion report showed an average of 75 per cent, taking the state as a whole. Two years ago, April 15, the condition was 35 per cent on the basis of 100 per cent for the long time average. The Burlington's report shows that a large acreage has been sown to spring wheat, but figures are not obtainable. The acreage into oats will be a little less than during former years. In some localities , plowing for corn has commenced. Indications point to an unusually large acreage. Alfalfa Not Damaged. , No damage to alfalf?. is reported. Pastures are coming on rapidly and in many localities, feeding of dry fodder has ceased. The condition of the soil was never better. It was wet to a con siderable depth by the late rains of last fall. The melting snow of the winter carried the moisture still deeper and with the heavy rains of the last two weeks, it is asserted that the soil is thoroughly soaked to a depth of two to three feet. Precipitation was general over all Nebraska last week, ranging from one to four and one-half inches.

Miss Allman was an employe of candy factory in York, where the couple started their romantic escapades two weeks ago. in spite ot Keisbeck s amorous feelings for his bride-to-be, his story to the police is somewhat con trary to his intentions. I met her in York, and she told me she would run away from the man she was going with if I would only say the word. "I didn't have any money, so she gave me $65 to pay our fare to Sioux City, where we were to be married. This is as far as we got. It wasn't my fault. She persuaded me to leave town with her.

S., Government Urges The Treasury department advises every holder of bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan to reinvest the half year interest which is due today, April 15, in thrift stamps and war savings stamps. The government's thrift campaign offers Liberty bond holders, particularly the holders of single bonds and small lots, an op portunity to place their Liberty bond interest immediately at work for the government at a lucrative in terest rate. Liberty bond interest coupons, as such do not earn in terest. They are the interest. In vested in war savings stamps the interest will earn four per cent com pounded quarterly, will be safely in vested, and will be always available for a pressing need. The bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan, which pay six months' interest tomorrow, earn at the rate of 4 1-4 per cent. Two coupons from $100 bonds of this issue will more than buy a war savings stamp, costing this month, $4.15. In five years the war savings stamp will be -worth $5. A single coupon from a $100 bond of the fourth issue will more than purchase eight thrift stamps, or half the number necessary for exchange into a war savings stamp. Through the Postoffice depart ment the Treasury department has arranged the Liberty bond interest coupons will be accepted as cash in the purchase of Thrift stamps or war savings stamps at any postoffice.
