THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 19, 1920. . , U F: M'Cpojc Land Mari ( Says Bumper Corn ! Crop Is Assured John E. Kelley oiMcCook, Neb., lawyer and agent for the Lincoln Land company, while visiting the real estate board yesterday said that at least 90 per cent of the state's corn crop will mature properly re gardless of weather conditions. "I have traveled from one end-of the state to the other,'' Mr. Kelley said, "north and south, east and west; I have examined the corn in all parts of the state and know that 90 per cent "of it will ripen properly even if we have frost this week. "Farmers still are threshing their wheat and in many parts of the state are piling it on the ground because of lack of granary room." Governor to Play Base Ball. Newport, It' I., Sept 18.

In addition to those who have been building homes this year in new additions, there 'has been con siderable home building done in districts which were developed in former years. Among these builders have been C. W. Martin in MinnesLusa, Matson O c " t T I y. 1 1 a smaus in uunuee, kj. ariuerg ill Parkvale, Shuler & Cary in Lock- wood, Frank Selby in Dundee and other sections, Temple McFayden in Wearne Park and YVaverly Park. N All these builders have found a icady market for their houses, and most of them have expressed disap pointment at their inability to get material and labor- for additional building. Mr. Carlberg, when he anrjounced a few days ago that he would begin building more new houses in Octo ber, called attention to the publica tion two weeks ago by a Sr. Louis lumber magazine, stating that ren ditions in: the mills and the lumber market do not warrant the expecta tion of lowering prices in anything nice tne immeaiate iuture. i Scots Form Vigilance Society On Irish Lines London 'Sept. 18. A Scottish vigilance society is being formed on the lines of the Irish Vigilance so ciety, .and has issued the statement: . "As England has submitted to be dominated by her tailreind, Wales, it is time we. too. should1 be vigilants and co-operate with our Irish breth ren in preserving our independent nationality. - ' . "The time has arrived when we should rise in protest against play ing on the strings of a Welsh "harp under a Welsh conductor and mas ter of ceremonies while we have our own historic instruments " to play on."

SHOLES COMPANY ihe tact that a nome owner makes a better citizen is too , well known to need mentioning," aaid C D. Glover,v chairman ofthe Advertis ing committee of the Real Estate board. , "A man who owns a home takes more interest in civic affairs and the conditions of his environment. He wants well paved, well - lighted streets, good transportation service and honest city officials. He will gt. to the polls and i vote for these things; he will help in all ways to make the city he lives in a good one. "So it is highly desirable- for a city to have its citizens Tiome own ers. Omaha has a larger proporton of home owners than most cities of its size. ( ' Few Houses to Rent. "There are few apartments here, few houses to rent "That is because Omaha is a city of home owners. In this., respect Omaha, has kept pace with other large cities. Umaha builders do not construct so many houses to rent they build them to sell, according to demands. And they ar sold as soon as built. Homes can be bought here as rea sonably as in any city of the same size. But they are bought as soon a"s built, so the houses for rent are scarce. 1 ' "In this and in similar ways busi ness is in excellent condition in Omaha. I talked a few days -ago to an Omaha investor who has just re turned from a tour of the wesW A Safe Investment v "He said that he found no city be tween here and the coast where busi ness was in as healthy a state as in Omaha, L. C. SHOLES Eitabliihed 1887 cw. NEWPORT "In none of the othets was then so much building going; -on, and in rone of them were large downtown buildines being erected as m Omaha.

Particular atten tion must be given the length ot the cutting period. Experienced gar deners discontinued cutting shoot; long ago. It is detrimental to the plants, even in old and well estab lished beds, to remove any of ihe tips after the first of July. .throughout the hot, dry months the shoots should be allowed to grow into) thrifty plants. IXuring thistime the leaves manufacture food and store it in the roots. The plants are then in good shape to ro through the winter ana a j crap ot shoots, is watfer for early vscin the sorinsr. Full fcr cut all of the weeds around the plants .and give the bed careful stirring anout once a week vntil cold weather. . , Late this fall when the berries .turn red and the tops become dead, vthe plants should be cut alid burned. This will prevent the spreading of asparagus rust, cultivate Detween the rows and apply a mulch of barn yard nrSnure. The mulch should be left on the bed all wintefand spaded into the ground immediately around ihe plants in the spring. , Sunflower 08 Cowfeed If wild sunflower can be made into food for cattle by cutting the plants and Storing them in silo, farmers will find this a great source for, feed. Favorable results have been redently reported on the sunflower, buf the experience of experts in Kansas in dicates that the wild plant is, after all, just a useless weed, and attempts made by scientists to make it any thing else have been unsuccessful so far. ' . - Their report says that last fall 10 tons of wild sunflowers were put into a silo between layers of corn silage by the dairy department of the Kansas state agricultural college. A feeding test was arranged for early winter. Five cows were fed wild sun flower silage, alfalfa hay, and a grain mixture consisting of four parts corn chops, two parts bran, and one part oil meal. Pevlous to the be ginning of the feeding test the" cows had received corn silage in addition to the hay and grain. " When changed to the sunflower silage they te sparingly, failed to become accustomed to it, decreased in milk nroduction and lost body weight. The .average loss of weiarht was 66 pounds per head for the 24 . nays oi me test, tacn naa decreased three and four-tenths pounds in daily production of milk by the end of the period. They Were then changed to cane silage and in 24 days gained 25 pounds per head and all but one in creased in milk production. , "Individual Nuts" Society Is Organized for Fun Only , Springfield, 111. -Sept. 18.
