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. .

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.

cialsBetween 30 and 40 school

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. Faulkner, master mechanic
of the fire department, was severely
injured in an automobile accident
in Chicago Thursday.
Chief Charles Salter received a
telegram yesterday from E. C.
Watson, Chicago agent of the Amer
ican La France Fire Engine com
pany, whose apparatus is used al
most exclusively in the Omaha fire
department.
The 4 telegram states that Mr.
Faulkner suffered a sprained back
and expects to be able to travel to
Omaha next Tuesday. The injured
man was on his furlough and was
returning from Wisconsin when he
stopped over at Chicago.
The information received by Chief
Salter did not give particulars of the
accident
