Labor Expense
On State Farms
Being Reduced
.Wheat Acreage Cut Consider
ably Much Grain Being
Held on Farms Normal
Corn Crop Planted.
Information for a .erire of nurvey of
trrlrnllornl condition, in Nebraska wrro
aititainod br Tho Hh from questionnaire
trnt to all rounty aa-riooltoral Karat In
the Mat. Thl I the eerond of the T
Tlmui puaar taken up In the queaUon
naire. Like Steve Brodie, s Nebraska
farmers "will take a chance" and
with optimistic smiles on their
faces, after taking a severe loss on
their products last year, are putting
tn big acreages. In reply to a ques
tionnaire sent out by The Bee to
county agents, they report that in
vcrv few instances is nroduction be
ing limited or land left idle. Labor
expense is being cut and farmers ate
trying to do without so much extra
help..
cotts Bluff county has decreased
its acreage considerably, due to the
inability of the farmers to finance
themselves on the large scale in
which they had been accustomed,
County Agent Phil Sheldon reports.
The reduction is in wheat. Potato
and sugar beet acreages are about
the same as last year. Very little
grain is being held. .
In Red Willow county the corn
acreage has been lessened due to the
desire of farmers to seed only what
land they can farm themselves,
County Agent H. H. Clemons says.
He estimates the farmers are now
holding 25 per cent of their wheat
and 40 per cent of their corn.
Corn Planting Normal.
County m Agent W. H. Campbell
of Frontier county writes from
Stockville that the corn acreage will
equal last year's, but that there is
considerable idle land due to the in
ability of farmers to finance them
selves. He says practically all o
last year's crop has been sold, due
to the farmers needing the money
In Thurston county, in order' to
avoid employing help, the farmers
have only planted about 90 per cent
of the corn acreage of last year.
Wheat is about normal and oats is
about 20 per cent larger.. The farm
ers are holding about one-half of
last year's crop.
Johnson county fanners have les
sened their acreage of all cr6ps and
are seeding the land to grass, ac
cording to Agent J. F. Purhaugh.
He estimates that 10 per cent of tlv:
wheat and 20 per cent 'oi the corn
is being held for higher prices.
With the exception of a few coun
ties where financial conditions are
not the best and a very few where
efforts are being made to avoid hir
ing labor the corn acreage is fully
as big as last year when 7,560,000
acres were planted. In Kimball
county the acreage is larger' and
all broken land is being utilized.
The oats acreage of 2.400,000
acres in 1929 will be considerable
larger this year. Butler county has
increased 10 per cent and Thurston
10 per cent. ,
Wheat Acreage Smaller.
The 1920 wheat acreage of 3,593,
000 acre will be diminshed consid
erably, tha reports indicate. With
, the exception of Kimball county,
where the newly-broken sod is be,
ing planted to wheat, no counties
reported an increase. Many, how
ever, have in a' normal acreage.
Sheridan county farmers only plant
ed 90 per cent and the Scotts Bluff
county acreage was decreased. But
ler county cut down 85 per cent.
Dakota county reports that more
. winter wheat was planted but less
spring wheat.'
Western Nebraska counties, where
the big bulk of the potatoes are
raised, all report at least normal
crops. Sheridan and Kimball coun
ties report increases of about 25 per
cent. No decreases were reported in
sugar beets and some counties re
port larger acreages.
Holding of both corn and wheat
is reported universally over the
state. Reports indicate that from 20
to 25 per cent of the corn is still
hring held ftn the farms. More
wheat is being held and.it is esti
mated that over 35 per cent of the
wheat is still stored in the farm
granaries. The number of employes
on farms will be materially reduced.
From all sections of the state agents
' .. report that the aim of the farmer
. is to only plant what land he and
his family can till.
Offers $100 for Return of
Clothes Stolen From Home
One hundred dollars reward and
no questions asked.
That's what H. Delrogh, 819 North
Twentieth street, offers for the loot
burglars got from his home.
Delrogh says burglars climbed
through a side window in his home
Wednesday night and "cleaned out"
the house of his clothing, his wife's
and that of , his children.
The clothing is worth about $600
to him, he says, but he'll pay $100
reward and ask no questions if it's
all returned to him.

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
The Reason Madge Threatened
Lillian with "The Iron Hand."
I tried hard to answer Lillian's
question concerning Dr. Pettit't ap
i parent interest in Miss Foster with
as casual a manner as tnc naa cm
ployed, but I was miserably con
scious of a heightened color and em
barrassed eyes, though my words
were indifferent enough.
"He is quite mad about her as far
as I can judge," I replied, "and I
don't wonder at it. She is very at
tractive." I had overdone it. I saw that by
the amused loock which flashed into
Lillian's eyes and out again, an ex
pression so evanescent that one less
used to her every lineament than I
never would have observed it. And
her answering words held a distinct
sting.
"That is most fortunate, isn't it?"
she said. "You'll not haveto bother
about him here. He always has
seemed to me such a nuisance."
From any other woman in the
world I should have resented this
speech as impertinence. But I knew
that Lillian always scrupulously held
aloof from any comment upon af
fairs not her own, and that she
would not have spoken as she had
unless she had observed something
in' my demeanor which she felt
called for a fillip to my common
sense.
My reaction to her stiletto was
prompt.
"He was all of that." I said. "But
I imagine Miss Foster will have him
reduced to a pulp before she ge'ts.
through with htm.
What Lillian Intended.
"She looks capable of doing the
job thoroughly," Lillian replied, then
changed the subject abruptly, an ac
tion for, which I mentally thanked
her.
"What are your plans for tomor
row?" she asked.
"lo investigate every possible
renting prospect within 10 miles of
Sag Harbor, I replied promptly.
"I mean to.be in the saddle at day
break or shortly thereafter."
bo early? she replied, ana t
turned and scrutinized her closely,
struck by something odd, indefinable
in her tone.
She was smiling faintly, but her
lips were pallid, and there was the
exhausted, pain-stricken look in her
eyes which I had seen there once be
fore when she frightened me by her
sudden collapse in Marvin. 1 real
ized with sudden contrition that the
journey and the excitement attend
ant upon the removal to the hospital
of the woman across the road had
sapped her strength, and that I must
guard her against a' recurrence of
that collapse.
Yes, just so early," I replied. "But
I'm going to steal out so quietly
you'll never hear me, and I want
you to promise " , .
"Never hear you!" she interrupted
scornfully. "Why, I'm going with
youl"
"Not in a million Sundays." Ie re
torted with determination. "I'd like
to take Marion along if you'll let
me have her; and I m going to ex
tract a triple locked promise from
you that you'll rest all day."
A Hopeful Toast.
There was no surer proof to me
of Lillian's poor physical condition
than her answer to my little speech.
t If she had possessed half her usual
strength and self-control she would
have paid no attention whatever to
my ultimatum. She would simply
have announced her determination
to go with me in a manner which
would have admitted of no argu
ment. But instead, her protesting
words were faltering, half-hearted.
"A good night's sleep will set me
up," she said, and I noticed that
she did not deny her patent need of
rest. "And you'll need me tomor
row" "Not one-tenth so much as I'll
need you a little later," I struck in
ruthlessly. .tLook here, mulish
lady, I want to tell you something.
If you don't rest tomorrow I'm
positive that you'll be really ill
there's every indication of it right
now. And will you kindly explain
what I would do with you down
sick thist particular week with all
this moving on hand?- Tomorrow
will simply be the preliminary skir
mish, the sifting out of the impos
sible places as we did at Hempstead.
There's really not much in which
you could help me until I get the
impossible places weeded out. Then
I shall need your advice, and I want
you in shape to give it."
She put her hand to rpr eyes un-,
certainly. When it caine away I
saw that tears were standing in her
eyes.
"I suppose you are right," she
said falteringly. "But ohl Madge
this is awful! I'd rather be dead than
not able to do things as I used to
do."
I looked at her purposely with a
grim, mocking, little smile.
"You're talkirfg now exactly as if
the good Lord had removed nine
tenths of your gray matter and put
the re'st in the wrong place," I said
sternly. "I need no further proof
that you'll have to have an iron
hand Over you, and that"
"Yours is the mitt, I suppose," she
countered with a smile. Lillian will
have ceased to breathe when she
cannot make a jest over her own
hardships.
"Exactly I Go to the head of the
class," I retorted. "And now, as
the first instance of the iron hand's
rule, you will ro directly to bed.
I'll attend to Marion when she
comes in, or rather I'll go and drag
her from that fascinating cow in
the .barn yard. I expect a rather
strenuous day tomorrow, and I'd
like to get to bed early myself.
Here's a toast in this nice cold wa
ter. 'To the home I'm going to
find tomorrow.'"
