corn planting and cultivation and tat
itfactory toil and moisture condition
with the exception ol a lew norm
rrnlral counties, are reported in the
Nebraska crop summary issued by
the federal and itate bureaus of mar
ket and crop estimate. The alfalfa
barvet aUo it under way, according
to the summary.
"Winter wheat ha improved, but
cannot recover completely from the
damage caused by the previoui dry,
unfavorable conditions," fays the re
port. "Present indication point to
an average yield in production. The
crop it heading throughout the east
ern two-third of the wheat belt, and
the present moisture supply ts sufli
cient to finish the crop, as dry weath
er it preferable during the last two
weeks of the tilling period.
Ralnt Beneficial
Spring grain have made marked
improvement since the recent rains,
continue! the report, and present
prospect are highly favorable, except
in a few of the northeastern coun
ties. Boyd. Holt, western Knox and
Keya Paha counties of north cen
tral Nebraska are still in need ot
moisture, according to the summary,
ihe planting ot corn is complet
ed and cultivation is in progress in
the southeastern quarter of the state,"
continues the report. "Some of the
counties have larger acreages than
anticipated, due to the abandoned
winter wheat. The crop is advanced
fully as far as it was a year ago this
date,"
'Reporting other conditions, the
summary adds:
"The fruit prospects remain very
favorable, comments from most
counties indicating conditions among
the best experienced.
"The condition of potatoes, also,
is satisfactory, and plans are being
made for the marketing of the early
commercial crops. Sugar' beets were
somewhat injured by high winds pre
vious to the recent rain.
"The harvest of the first crop of
alfalfa started early in the week. The
crop ranges trom tair to excellent
and averages considerably better
than the first crop of last season."
Com Field Harrowing
Urged by State School
Lincoln Free use of the harrow
in the corn fields at the present time
is one of the best, cheapest and most
efficient ways of cultivating corn, as
frequent harrowing at planting time
and until the corn is several inches
high, will save later work with the
cultivator, advises the Nebraska ag
ricultural college.
"A two-year test on three adjoin
ing fields at the college, the first of
which received clean cultivation, the
second Scraped with a hoe to keep
down all weeds, the soil being un
disturbed, and the third' unculti
vated, showed that keeping the
fields free of weeds is the big rea
son for cultivation," says the college.
"The average yields for the two
year's test were: Cleanly cultivated,
65 bushels; scraped, 61 bushels, and
uncultivated and weedy, 11 bushels
per acre.
"If three cultivations clean out the
weeds in good shape later cultiva
t'ons pr pulling a mower wheel or
other implement through the corn
tow""is not likely to increase the yield.
Cultivation, aside from killing weeds,
is of value in aerating the soil,"
putting the surface in shape to catch
precipitation and for various other
reasons."

A bag of cotton flannel or other
soft material slipped over the broom
is excellent for cleaning ordinary
plastered and papered walls and
ceilings. Light overlapping strokes,
not heavy ones should be used. The
latter tend to rub in the dirt. Cotton
batting is good for cleaning the dir
tier places, such as over registers,
radiators and stoves.
Water and cleaning agents should
be used sparingly for they weaken

Culls
With the County Agents
FILLMORE COUNTY.
Geneva A culling campaign will be
conducted by the Fillmore county farm
bureau during July. Since poor layers
usually stop laying entirely or start to
molt In June or early July, It was decided
mat tbia was the best tims to taks un
ths work of culling, according to Les W.
Thompson, county extension agent. "If
culling is neglected until fall, the poor
layers will' then have a new crop ot
feathers, while the good hens, which
layed late Into the summer, will appear
faded and ragged," says Mr. Thompson,
"and this may lead to the mistake of
selling the poor looking hen snd keeping
ths one with the new feathered falment."
Fillmore county poultry raisers have
sent out a warning against the "huckster
culler," an Individual who will work on
the basis -of free culling provided he Is
given the culls. County Agent Thomp
son states that this variety ot culler Is
not welcome In Fillmore county and poul
try reisers should sccept only the ser
vices of the official cullers recommended
by the fsrm bureau.
The first of a series of meetings in the

Tecumseh A ditch draining from 8
to SO acres of land on the farm of J.
L. Jobest, south of here. Is to be dammed
this summer to prevent soil wash, whleSi
is rapidly eating hack Into the banks.
It la estimated that the soil ssvlng to
be derived from this plan wlU add sev
eral thousands of dollars In value to the
farm. The work was estimated and
planned by an assistant engineer from the
agricultural college.
Probably 100,000 hens will be kept on
Johnson county farms this summer,
which, st sn average of S4 eggs for four
months st 2 cents each, will return in
come that would equal 1120.000, atates J.
F. Purbough, county axtension agent. "A
conservative estimate of the loss from
fertile eggs, until they reach the ulti
mate consumer, would be at least 60 per
cent, or a loss to the farmers of 160,000,"
Mr. Purbough declarea in waging a cam
paign for "fresh eggs, Infertile."
LANCASTER COUNTY.

Federal Survey
of Livestock'
Movements Plan
Bureau of Markets and Crop
Estimates Contemplate Kx
paneling Service to Give
More Statistics.
Lincoln, Showing the change in
numbers of livestock from month to
month, on farms and the forecasting
of the important livestock movements,
are two of the new functions nrmg
considered in the new field of live
stock reporting by the federal bureau
of markets and crop eitimates, ac
cording 10 announcement by A. E.
Anderson. jNeoraiKa siauttician.
Consideration of plans looking to
ward thee reports came up at a re
cent conference in Chicago, in. which
representatives of the bureau, farm
ers' organizations, shipping associa
tions and packers were present, Mr.
Anderson stated. Another confer
ence will be held at Denver in the
near future, at which the plans are
expected to be perfected.
Changes in Farms.
"A nation-wide survey should be
made of the changes that are taking
place on farms from month to
month," Mr. Anderson commented.
This should viclude births, deaths.
losses, marketings, purchases and
animals' bred and periodical classifi
cations of the numbers on farms.
Such reports would expand experi
mental work that has been carried
on in a limited way for three or four
years.
"Reports from 70.000 to 100.000
farms monthly would be received
under the plan, which would develop
a state index of changes at least for
the corn belt ' states, and possibly
eastern and southern states.
Report Stock Movements.
'In forecasting the important
movements of livestock, the reports
would include movement of feeder
cattle and lambs from the range
states to corn belt feed lots, the
movement from feed lots to market
and the movement into and out of
the eastern feed lots. They also
would include the forecasting and es
timating of the yearly lamb and calf
crop of the range states.
"Careful consideration also would
be given to the development of meth
ods of reporting the fall and spring
pig crop of the corn belt. A pig
survey made through" the rural mail
carriers should be valuable in esti
mating the pig production, and if it
proves satisfactory, a semi-yearly in
quiry will be made through the same
source."
succeeded In draining off land that here
tofore could not be used, sdvlses Mr.
Christie, r "A cut two feet deep and 1,100
feet long drained a swsmpy field that
could not be cultivated, while a ditch 700
feet long and three feet deep at another
farm brought five acres of otherwise
valueless land Into shape for crops."
A contact spray made up of a solution
of blaok leaf, or nicotine snlphate mixed
Into a gallon of soapy water, Is the only
method of destroying the plant lice that
Infests plum trees In Thayer county, ac
cording to Mr. Christie.
Poultry raisers here believe that the
business may be greatly Improved In
Thayer county by the employment of
more up-to-date methods In the care and
housing of the flocks. It has been sug
gested by local poultry experts that good
results may be obtained in Increased egg
production by feeding a dry mash com
posed of bran, shorts, ground oats, ground
corn and beef scraps In equal parts. In
an open hopper In the poultry houses. A
number of farmers are Improving their
housing facilities by making the build
ings warm and dry. This also Is calcu
lated to help egg production.
WASHINGTON COUNTY.

to engage in (arm work. It Is reported.
Sterling Trine of Madison Is authority
for the statement that seven stands of

Agricultural College
Sees Future in Beef
Lincoln "The fact that beef cat
tle raising has been a losing propo
sition in recent months does not
mean that it will continue to be so
for any great length of time, but to
try to -make money raising beef cat
tle without using purebred sires is a
waste of time, even when better re
turns are in sight," opines the Uni
versity of Nebraska agricultural col
lege. "The butcher wants a steer that is
lowdown, square, compact, fat and
thick fleshed. He is the final judge
of block animals. Scrub sires rarely
produce such animals. While the
purebred sires produce steers that
are less rangy and with more meat
along the back and loins, that is
where the butcher wants it, which
enables him to sell his meat easily
to patrons who are willing to pay a
premium fcr such cuts.'

Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Oataaa IWs Leases W Ire,
New York, Juna 4. An event of
lartf Importance in last week s nnan
cial markets was undoubtedly (he rise
of sterling exchange to a new high
level (or the period. Having prac
tically reached. $fW in the lace ef
what seemed to have been sales of
$100,000,000 British government
drafts on London to provide for pay
nient on the debt to our treasury,
completion of these remittances
naturally makes Wall Street moie
receptive to discussion of a nosiible
return to the normal parity ol -).no;t
at no very remote date.
Aside from this remarkable move
ment of exchange, financial markets
have been no more interesting nega
lively than positively. The great
strength of investment bond prices,
at a fraction below the season's
highest, and with U the war loans
simultaneously crossing par, gave
evidence alike of the continuing res
ervoir of investment capital, of the
markets belief in continued easy
money and of financial indifference
to the cogressional performances
with the soldiers bonus bill.

On lbs slock market It was plain enough
Isst week thst If ths real Investing pub.
n waa not buvins:. It waa at any rats
not selling which gsva ths manipulators
and ths srmy of epertstors. Urge snd
small, their opportunity. Tho resultsnt
mors or less artificial movement of prices
did not follow the news. Neither ths an
nouncement of the railway labor board's
rlsion In ths Southsrn Psrlfla snd Reed
ing suits, nor yet ths three-company stssl
msrger announcemsnt, seemed reslly to la
tsrsst ths speculators. With ihem, ths

Deared to be wholly dependent on ths

tha stsgs bad been badly set. With sll
the wllllnsneaa at Wall atrsst to accept
ths predicted results of company amalga
mate In ths wsy ef scononty and efficiency
tha nsturs of tha protracted negotiations
bas chilled enthuslssm.
A msrger from which ons company after
another has shown sagerness to escape,
cannot keep speculative Imagination In a
blaze. On top of this consideration, ths
questions and answer of Fridsy's Lock-
wood committee hearing aoout ins casn
provision for tbs purpose of "making a
market" for ths nsw msrger stock, "so
thst ths Insider csn unlosd and ths out
sider load up," was a little too much like
exposing ths wires In a mystery show or
turning the light on ths conference at a
splrltuallstlo sesncs.
Expert to "HIS Snag."
It was doubtless a reminder of ths 221.-
000,000 "syndicate fund" admlnletsred by
ths ingenious James R. Kesns and his
stock market trick box when ths new
United States Steel stock came on ths
market In 1101. That exploit was Im
mensely successful In exciting the outside
public, great and small. It msy yet be
so with ths Infsnt merger company which
Is presently to be christened, but the pre
liminary Incidents bsvs not bssn of ths
kind to hslp It.
Thus fsr the negotiations over ins Ger
man foreign loan, under the auspices of
the bankers committee have proceeded so
smoothly and with such seeming cordial
co-operation by all parties to ths discus
sion, tnst It is only natural to look tor
what the markets call ths "hitting of a
snag." It was, however, a foregone con
clusion that Germany would coma to
terms at the eleventh hour regarding ths
May 21 ultimatum and the pending con
sideration of a foreign loan gave an easy
opportunity.
It has also been manifest ever since ths
collisions of French and English opinion
at the Genoa conference, that the French
government would be more disposed then
before to tsks up In a conciliatory man
ner the question of llmltlnr if not reducing
ths sum total of ths German payments.
