Lincoln, Jnn li. Winter wheat
compares favorably with ths crop
vtrtici oi th past thrct ytari, at
cording to the Juns crop report for
Nebraska, issued today by A. E.
Andcnon, ffderil statistician at
tached to the bureau of markets .and
crop estimates, and Leo Star, tec
retary of th Nebraska department
of agriculture.
Spring wheat and barley aveagei
are inereaied heavily and their con
tlition it very good, the report states.
Oali acreage it decreased flightly
and the condition it below the av
erage. The ' condition of hay it
below the average. All fruit crop
are very promising, according to the
report, the text of which u give
below:
Winter Wheat 17 Per Cent
The condition of winter wheat ii
79 per cent at compared to 82 per
cent lait month and 75 per cent a
year ago this date. The present con
dititon forecasts a crop of 54,984,000
bushels, as compared to the final
estimate of 57,539,000 bushela last
year. Theaverage of the past three
years is 56,862,000 bushels. The
present crop grew under adverse
moisture conditions untitl the lat
ter p art of May, This resulted not
only in a large abandonment, but
also thin stands in considerable of
the crop that was left for harvest
The heads are of average size and
the atraw hat attained good length
since the rains in May. Many fields
appear better than they really are
when one examines the stands care
fully. . .
Spring wheat acreage ahows an
increase of 40 per cent, due largely
to aeeding the crop in abandoned
winter wheat fields in west central
Nebraska and some in central and
southwestt sections. The premili
: nary estimate is 287.000 acres, com
pared to 205,000 acres last year. The
high condittion of 84 per cent indi
cates a crop of 3,375,000 bushels. The
forecast of all wheat is 58,359,000
bushels, as compared to 59,675,000
bushels last' year.
The preliminary estimate of acre
age of oats is 2,507,000 acres as com
pared to 2,585,000 acres last year.
The present condititon of 84 per cent
forecasts a crop of 70,547,000 bu
shels, compared to 70,054,000 bo
v ahels last year. The crop was
planted later than usual Ind slightly
injured by dry weather and the
chances tor a good crop are re
, duced accordingly.
Barley Acreage Increased
The acreage of -barley was in
creased 35 per cent, due to extensive
planting upon abandoned winter
wheat fields in central and western
Nebraska. The preliminary esti
mate is 269,000 acres, compared to
-199,000 acres last year. The pres
ent high condition of 90 per cent
indicates a crop of 6,410,000 bushels,
compared to 4,915,000 bushela last
year.
;-. Rye has improved some since the
rainss of the lattter part of May
but cannot recover fully from 'the
i previous damage. The condititon of
83 per cent forecasts 1,948,000 bu
shels. Last year's crop was 1,714,
000 bushels.
: All hay condition is 88 per cent,
compared to 89 per cent last year.
The lack of moisture checked the
growth of wild hay and also tame
' hay, particularly in north central
and northeastern counties. Alfalfa
yields vary but are about the av
erage. . .
All fruit crops are very promising.
The condition of apples is 90 per
cent; pears, 89 per cent; blackberries
and t raspberries, 91 per cent, and
peaches, 98 per cent. The set of
fruitt of part of the trees is extra
heavy.
The number of bearing fruit trees
has been reduced very heavily dur-
: ing the past decade. In 1920 there
were 1,469,998 bearing fruit trees,
"compared to 5.061,984. trees in
.1910. Fungus diseases, insescts,
drouth, severe winters and lack of
care are responsible for heavy losses.
A comparison of the present number
of fruit trees with the number 10
years ago is as follows: Apples,
. 32 per cent; peaches, 80 per cent;
pears, 61 per cent; plums, 24 per
. cent; cherries, 58 per cent grape
. vines, 35 per cent; acreage of all
small fruits, 51 per cent.
Beet Crop Damaged. ."
" The condition of sugar beets is
88 per, cent. High winds did some
damage to the crop. The acreage
. hi less than it was last year. The
, condition of minor crops is as fol
lows: Cabbages, 90 per cent; on-
; ions, 91 per cent; beans, 95 per cent;
I watermelons, 90 per cent; musk
mellons and santaloupes, 88 per
t cent . c ,-
Estimates of important crops for
the United States are as ' follows:
Winter wheat,. s607,333,000 bushel
and 587.032,000 bushels last vear?
pnng wheat, 18.639,000 acres and
247,175,000 bushels, ass compared to

In : the model kitchen, narrow
shelves are often better for econo
mizing space than wide ones. . They
are also easier to keep clean and in
order. Low cupboards are prefer
able to very high .ones as there is
less temptation to use them . as
"catch-alls."

Collo-g to! Arts and Science
Sbowt Larftst' Increase,
With Law and Dentistry
& t , Decreasing.
-'Lincoln. A 'graduate college In
crease of 30 per cent, an increase oi
3.8 per cent in the agricultural col
lege, 17.6 per cent in the college of
arts and sciences, and 14.7 per cent
in the college of business adminis
tration, entering into a general in
crease of 1,075 in enrollment, in mil
colleges of the University of Ne
braska over that in 1921, is shown in
a report available aince commence
ment exercises for the graduating
class of 1922.
The report further discloses an in
crease of 6.02 per-cent in the college
of engineering, an increase of 20.6
per cent in the college of medicine,
an increase of 25 per cent in the
school of nursing, sn incresse of 18.3
per cent in the college of phsrmscy
snd n incresse of 6.8 per cent in the
teachers college.
Decrease ia Two Colleges.
A decrease in enrollment is shown
in but two colleges those of den
tistry snd Isw. The decrease re
ported for the Isw college 'is given
ss 9.7 per cent, and 9.7 per cent in
the college of dentistry. These de
creases ere due to higher standards
and one-year academic requirements
as prerequisites, according to a
ststement of Chancellor Samuel
Avery. -
The .complete registration includes
all the colleges and schools st the
institutions on the two campus here,
Omaha, Curtis and Scottsbiuff. The
total includes 115 ex-service men in
the trades school and 105 additional
students in university extension, not
accounted for in the 1921 enroll
ment. ..
"Last summer there was some an
ticipation toward a decrease in at
tendance due to difficult financial
conditions," says Chancellor Avery's
ststement. "However,' the complete
registration shows an increase of
1,075, and a total in the graduate
college of 416, an increase oil 30 per
cent. , ,
"Aggie" Course Loses.
"Decresses are shown, however,
the greatest being in' the -four-year
course in the school of agriculture,
where there, is a loss of 30 per cent
This demonstrates the tendency of
many years' duration to care for sec
ondary education, unless it is highly
specialized, outside of the univer
sity. The development of the con
solidated school the teaching of sg
riculture in the nigh schools, and the
operation of the Smith-Hughes pro
gram, nave removed part of the nat
ural constituency of this school. '
"On the other hand, the special
short courses in poultry and similar
courses show a wholesome increase
of 28 per cent. The only special
short course showing a decrease is
the auto tractor course, which ,is to
be explained ' by changed economic
conditions. The, Curtis . school,
somewhat isolated from the remain
der of the plant, ahows an increase
of 14$ per cent and the university
extension an increase of 32.7 per
cent" o; - . ' .

der to discuss the subjects of soil
erosion and farm sanitation. Among
the speakers will be Dean Burnett of

is the Oakland park . - -
Sweet Clover Pasture
Should Be Kept Short
Lincola.-Farmers who ars pas
turing sweet clover this year should
sea that enough stock is kept on it
to keep it csten down to about six
to 10 inches in length, experts at the
Nebraska agricultural college sug
gest If this is not done, they say,
the clover will become rank, coarse
and woody and the flavor will be
come so strong thst tht feed will
not be relished.
In some cases, the experts state,
it might become necessary to put on
s high ss four or five head of cat
tle per acre in order to keep the
clover down. Later In the season,
when the growth is not so rapid, tht
number should be reduced. Where
tweet clover it used in addition to a
permanent pasture, a good plan, it is
said, is to chsnge the stock from one
to the other, keeping' them on the
sweet clover long enough to control
the growth.
Where sweet clover Is used for
hsy, the time for cutting is regarded
as important, particularly if it is the
second year's growth. It should be
cut before the crop becomes too
coarse and woody. Where the first
crop of the second year's growth is
to be cut for hay, the time for cut
ting is likewise important. If let
stand too long, the lower buds on
the stems will die due to overbad
ing, it is said. Since the second crop
comes from buds slong the stem snd
not from the crown, as with alfalfa,
it is necessary to cut the crop high
enough to lesve live buds.
Faulty Cabbage Plants
Cut Kearney Production
Kearney. The Kearney district
potato crop is already sufficiently
promising to attract a large number
of cash buyers and commission men.
all anxious to hsndle all or part oi
the production of about 3,000 acre,"
Owners of the vast cabbage acreage
east of the city are not so enthused
over their prospects. While the
growing plants are pretty free bf
pests and have been doing nicety, it
js estimated that at least 40 per cent
of the seedling plants imported will
not mature. B. A. Armitage, one of
the extensive growers of potatoes
and cabbage, places his high esti
mate on the proportion of faulty
plants set out. Now the cabbage
growers are organizing and next
year they will send an expert into
the market to buy plants whose
germination is assured. -
