THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921. Crop Expert in Nebraska Finds Crops Damaged Considerable Red Rust Found Blight Caused by Early Freeze Will Also Cut Production. Grand Island. Neb.. Tune 10. (Special.) B. W. Snow, expert crop statistician, has been looking over crop conditions, his main pur pose being to investigate the con dition of wheat. Mr. Snow and Mr. Highland pf the Highland Grain company made a tour of Hall, Ad ams, Kearney and Buffalo counties, and made a thorough investigation of a number of wheat fields, finding the -wheat damaged to a certain ex tent by the freezes of the early part of April. The freeze' was sufficient at that time to kill a large percentage of the stull, it being found dead at a height of from two to six inches, and in some instances has damaged .the wheat as high as SO per cent. However, some fields were not af fected by this freeze, due undoubt edly to the heavy growth, which acted as a protection against the freeze, and it was noted that in ad joining fields one would be badly damaged while the other was not. In the fields examined no trace of black rust was detected, while con siderable red rust was found. How ever, the red rust is not considered damaging. A slight trace of blight wa-' noticed in some fields. The stem, just above the root and al most to the first joint, has a brown ish Appearance, caused by the April freezes. This affects the vitality of the plant. Hall county wheat seemed to be i nthe best condition of any of the territory covered, due to some ex tent, to the soil and heavy growth covering the ground in the early spring. Mr. Snow has been on an inspec tion tour of the wheat belt for the past month and found that the same conditions which were preva lent here, existet throughout the whole of the wheat . belt. His opinion was that the winter wheat crop in the United States is far be low normal and that most of the farmers will be deceived when they come to thresh their wheat, as there are a great many good-looking fields which, if examined closely, will be found badly damaged. Warm Weather Is Needed By Western Nebraska Kearney,' Neb., June 10. (Spe cial.) Farmers in Phelps, Kearney and particularly Buffalo county, are honine for dry and warm weather. For several -weeks it has ieen almost impossible to work in the fields. Zto material damage has been noted to date, but the corn acreage is in need of attention shortly. The - second crop of alfalfa is nearly ready to cut. Some reports have been received of rust appearing in winter wheat, south oi the river, but they are not sub stantiated at farm, bureau, headquar ters. 1 he potato acreage nas not ered, the spuds rounding out and showing a far smoother ana: more solid growth than last -season. .

State WiH Get Cheering News Delinquents Will Be Told to Disregard Notice That They Must Forfeit Land to ' Government By E. C SNYDER. Waabinftoa Correspondent Omaha Bm. Washington, June 10. (Special Telegram.) Water' users on the North Platte project in Nebraska have been in a state of nervous prostration since they received no tices printed in red ink from the reclamation service notifying them that all delinquent users of water would be compelled to foreit their land to the government', because of their laches. Frantic appeals for help were sent Judge Kinkaid and distressing tales were told of loan companies getting ready to swoop down on the reclamationists and capture everything in sight. Uncle Mose," who can move as fast as anybody when necessity com mands, asked a subcommittee of his committee on the reclamation ot arid lands to accopany him for a conference with the secretary of the interior. As a result of that conference de linquent water users on the North Platte project may cheer up: the gov ernment will not take title to their lands notwithstanding that the act ot August, 19U, gives it a right to do so, because, by implication at least, Section 2 of the act of 1912 isrepeaied by the act of 1914. Secretary Fall, who has great re spect for Judge Kinkaid's knowledge of reclamation laws, for he has been a part of their making for 20 years, stated, after ' Uncle Mose had fin ished outlining the troubles of the irrigationists in Scotts Bluff and western counties clear into Wyom ing, that he would send a letter to each delinquent who had received the so-called red notice to forget that the same had ever been sent. This will go far toward relieving the tension and private loan com panies, who believed that the title to the lands would be imperilled by the notice, can go ahead and ad vance money on the lands because the government proposes to give water users a chance to make a good crop this year. West Point Man Elected Head of Kearney Schools Kearney, Neb., June 10.

Housing State Criminals Now Grave Problem Board of Control Unable to Settle Question at Confer ence Reformatory May . Give Relief. Lincoln, June 10. (Special.) A conference was held today by War den W. T. Fenton, Attorney Gen- eral Clarence A. Davis and the board of control in an endeavor to work out a solution for housing Ne braska criminals. Warden Fenton stated that 100 prisoners, sentenced to the peni tentiary, are being held in county jails, awaiting the time when there will be space at the penitentiary to house them. Today there were 641 men in the state penitentiary, which is several hundred in excess of its normal ca pacity. The building of the refor- ma tory will take from 200 to 400 men away from the state penitentiary. If the criminals in Nebraska in crease in the next few years as they have in the last three, the peniten tiary will continue to be over crowded. ' The men confined in the county jails will cost the state from $125,- 000 to $150,000 this year lor board as the attorney general has ruled that the state is liable for their board after conviction. The board of control will not pay this money out or its appropriations and the present plan it to hold the bills pre sented and present them to the state legislature at its next session. The officials broke up their con ference with the problem still un solved. Master Mechanic of Fire Department Hurt in Chicago S. R.
