membered that the losses of young
pigs were extremely heavy this
spring and may account for the dis
crepancy between the estimates and
assessors' reports. This estimate of
a 10 per cent decrease is also sub
stantiated by an individual farm sur
vey of the actual number of farms
now and a year ago. While' this
survey was necessarily limited in
number of returns, it Verifies the in
formation from other sources.
"The wool crop is estimated to bi
9 per cent larger than a year ago,
totaling 1,886,000 pounds. The num
ber of sheep assessed this year is
somewhat larger than last ycar,nt
the average weight per fleece was
slightly heavier. .
Alfalfa is Good Crop.
The average yield of alfalfa is
three tons per acre for all crops
and this ranks, jtmong the highest

The state also stands a" good ;he past, particularly previous to the J

The average yield of wild hay is

"Toe fruit crops have net been
so bountiful, particularly the larger
tree fruits. The farm crop of apples
is rated at 55 per cent and the com
mercial crop far less. Vegetables
have been excellent. The suRar

Awarding of State
Contract in Court
, Lincoln. Sept. 10. (Special.)
The question of whether the state
board of control may accept or re
ject any bids on state buildings or
whether it must neces3anlv award
the contract to, the lowest bidder
was put up to District Judge Stewart
Friday in the hearing on the man
damus suit brought by the Nebraska
Building and Investment company
to compel the board to award it the
contract for the Milford Soldiers
home hospital.
L. .C. Oberlies, chairman of thg
boara, testified that the Investment
Company was the lowest bidder with

tato yield, the largest since 1902 with
the possible exception of the 1915
' crop, says the report; estimating
production will be 9,996,000 bushels,
as compared with 6,325.000 last year
and 9,647,000 the 1914-199 average.
Eitimate of Production.
Production of other crops was es
timated as follows:v
Spring wheat 4,259.000 bushels.
Winter wheat, 52,366,000.
All wheat, 56.555,000. or 4,050,000
less than last year.
Oats, 73.088.000, as compared to
69,962,000-last year. i
Wool. 1.886.000 pounds.
May Weather Frost.
The report follows:
"From crop correspondents' com
ments and from inquiry the consen
sus of opinion is that Avith favorable
weather throughout September all
corn will be matured enough to
withstand killing frosts with the pos
sible exception of some that was
planted extremely late. However,
the ehancs for maturity before
. frost will diminish rapidly, if the
weather remains cool and wet '
"Mr. Loveland of the weather bu
reau reports that the average frost
date for the main -tyro sections of
Nebraska is about October 1. While
the luxurious growth of this year's,
crop reminds one somewhat of the
1915 corn crop, which was so badlv i
the htdt let on the basis or using
injured by frost, the present trop is yellow pine flooring. The board.
to furnish estimates on white maple
farther advanced. On August 31,
1915, one could scarcely find a field
of coty north of the Platte river
that had started to dent, while this
year some had dented before the
middle of August. North-cWitral
Neoraska corn suffered from drouth,
but this is the only section of con
siderable extent that was injured
from dry weather
: Rust Hurts Whoeat.
1 "A further decline in spring wheat
is noted, due chiefly to black stem
rust in western counties, the extent
of which was not known a month
ago. The present" condition of 60
per cent forecasts a crop of 5,259,000
bushels as compared to 5,678,000
bushels last year. The preliminary
estimate of winter wheat remains
at; 52,366,000 bushels.
"The bulk of the oat crop in
northeastern Nebraska is below the
average and for this reason the state
will not have a record yield even
though the oat crop south oi the
Platte river is extra good. The
condition at the :ime of, harvest was
89 per cent, indicating a production
of 73,088,000 bushels as compared
to 69,962,000 bushels last year. Pre
liminary yield reports of oats, spring
wheat and barley w.Tl be made next
month.
"Evidently the farmers are de
termined to reduce the swine produc
tion to a point tkBt will demand a
sufficient price to pay for fee. risk
and care. A reduction "r of 10 per
cent following a 15 per cent decrcne
a year ago will mean a very notice
able reduction in toial number to he
marketed. A checking up of
market receipts for Nebraska, 191"
showed a decrease of 15 per cent c
estimated a year ago. k While
sessors' reports this year give
flooring and on this basis the low
bidder was Ernest Rokahi. who wat
given the contract.
I.. F. Farrell, manager of the In-v-st'"nn
oTPoanv. declared that a
mistake had been made in the es
timate tunnthiu i IK' board on white
maple flooring and that the cor
rect figures would make it the lowest
bidder in both instances: He said
the company was fully prepared to
handle the work speedily and effici
ently. .
The case was taken under advisement.
