Mxrch 1. "Settlement Doy." la a criti
cal time In an agricultural atate Ilk Ne
braska. With the unxpttled financial con
dition!. The Hee correspondents have
lonipleled a survey of condition! In the
itato after Interviews with leading bauk
orn, farmers, hualnexe men, etc. This I
the fourth of the erte of aurveye on
I he economical and financial conditions
mi the alute.
Geneva, Neb., Feb. 20.-(Special
Telegram.) Willi no factories or
big business enterprises carrying a
pay roll to put money in circulation
at frequent intervals, localities like
this depend entirely on the agricul
turists tor economic conditions.
J. L. Thomas, county agricultural
agent of Fillmore county explains
conditions as follows: "Since thtj
w heat market dropped below 2 last
sumnier, 'there has been but little
wheat put on the market. Some corn
has been sold where the farmer
needed the money to pay debts, or
had to tnove March 1. and was not in
a posit ion to carry it longer. Most
of the corn that has been sold was
stored in large piles on the ground.
Much of it was damp and in poor
condition for marketing, o doubt this
same condition has existed else
where and this may be partly the
cause of the corn market tumbling
so badly. Many farmers are planning
lo hold their crops just as long -at
possible, hoping that prices for farm
crops may get back to some propor.
tion of the nricc of commodities they
must buy. Farmers arc not spending
much, and depend on the cows and
chickens to furnish the table.
Labor Prices Unsettled.
"The farm labor wage for t be
coming season is rather up in the
air yet. The farmer and farm labor
er arc sparring with each other on
terms. Only a few employers have
made arrangements for farm help,
and in these cases it is usually a new
contract with the laborers of last
season. Some farmers are talking a
salary of ?35 to $40 a month for a
single man on a six months' contract
with a small increase during harvest.
If supply and demand are regulating
the present prices of farm products,
I he ordinary farmer cannot see that
he can afToVd to pay. very much to
help increase the supply. It would
be much easier to settle: the farm
labor question if -the' price of farm
products and the cost of living could
be more nearly equalized." -
Legislation May Help.
Mr. Thortias says that the ware"
house bill, now pending in the legis
' lature, might relieve the farmer's
condition some jl; It"" to ul d , be; mad?
operative soon enough.
Len .T. Davis, cashier of the Citi
zens State bank of Geneva, says that
money continues to be rather close in
Fillmore count)',
"We find that a'numbcr of farmers
are beginning to sell tnejr cattle, as
thcy.Jiold Uieopinioiif -ihat-.
prices wilf "declfrte for'Tmothf
-a cattle
ler 30
days at least. Some of the feeders
who have the. right km d of cattle
epect to hold until March or April,
A large proportion of agriculturists
are expecting a radical change in
conditions after March 1. They give
as Jheir reasons' for (his -opinion that
there will.be a change"' of administra
tion about that time, and also that
the tenant farmers who have to move
will have marketed their crops and
some i sort of reaction will be the re
sult. The majority are losing hopes
of $3 wheat 'and'-will unload if thf
price gets, back to $1.75 ,to $2."
Hogs Make Money. -
"There is very little complaint,"
says Mr. Davis, "about the price of
hogs. Farmers agree that there is
money in hogs -with corn at ' ttie
present prices." i , ;' r..:
A year ago ,3 survey of this region
iy a govcrnmcn othctal brougnt out
the fact that conditions were ideal
for dairying in this county. Mr
Davis finds that this year has dem
onstrated the value of the dairy cow
as never before and that. farmers are
turning their attention to milking
more cows as well as keeping .more
poultry. I have observed, he says,
"that the farmers who pay their
household expenses by poultry and
dairy products arc the ones least
pressed for ready money when a
financial stringency arises. A num
ber of farmers are wondering how
they are going to make interest on
liiffh priced land investment, and 1
believe that thev will finally, decide
t-bat the only .way to secure a reason
able return on this land will be to
do away with farming large areas of
wheat, ind turn their attention to
more and better dairy cows, stock
begs and a good line of poultry."
Hard Blow to Farmer.
"The readjustment period has
been a hard blow to the farmer," R
A. Matteson, retired farmer, says.
"Many farmers contracted debts
w hen the high price wave was at its
maximum. Now returns for their
products will hardly pay interest
a the debt and leaves nothing with
which to buy machinery or make
improvements. Of course this con
dition affects business tn towns de
pendent on the country."
Mr. Matteson is of the opinion
that bad roads are partly responsi
ble for holding grain back and pre
dicts that with good roads some
grain will find its way to market
and better times for everybody are
just ahead.
Men Bound Over to Federal .
Court on Liquor Charges
Sidney. Neb., Feb. 20. (Special
Telegram.) Thompson and Ralph
Harriman, charged with operating

felder and bound" over to the federal

"Pat" MpGM Defeats Grubrileirer
At Wisiier in Tough Mat Bout
Warner, Xcb.. Feb. 2ft-(SpeciaI
Telegram.) 'Tat" McGill still
reigns supreme at Wisner, Neb.
The reason for all this is that
"Tat" prevented a lot of Nebraska
monev from journeying over into
Iowa, "last Friday night when he won
over Fred Grubmeirer of Harlan,
la., in something like one hour and
55 minutes after one of the toughest
mat contests that has ever been
staged in this section of the country.
The match was one of those i"ras
sles" that the fans will chat about
for many moons. The Wisner grap
pler clamped headlocks, body and
head scissors and every other kind
of hold in the book and even several
that Jack Curlcy of New York has
barred from Madison Square Garden
before he defeated the much-touted
J wrestler from Iowa.

to the padded surface, no, brethren,
it was a honest-to-gooduess wres

had succeeded in breaking every

forfeited the match.
The Harlan, la., wrestler left the
