NEBRASKA BOOMS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Last year’s crops were fairly good.' They suffered some by the chrome wet season. Corn did not qqite mature right. It is kind of soft, but still does for feed; lots of alfalfa raised here, which is out tour Union a year tor hqj which brings lots of roughness aiui is good feed for horses, cattle, hogs, and even chickens eat it. Our roads are four rods, or sixtysix feet wide. They work them with an elevator grader. Gravel or macadam roads are an unknown thing here and I don't think we ever will have them. Telephone wires have been strung all over the country, so the eoutry and townspeople are all connected together. It is going on twelve years since we have been servedTiy the rural mail routes. We have had some pretty cold weather. On the 12th and 13th of January we had a blizzard, with an awful high winft, some snow flying, and the mercury dropped to 24 below zero. But since then it has moderated and roads are not much drifted. Autos are still going. The busiest work here at present is putting up ice. They all pack it in cellars dug into the ground, instead of packing it with sawdust they use straw, for saw dust here is a scarce article. Our market prices here don’t quite compare with those of yours. I guess it's because of the greater amount of freight to haul it to the export harbors. At pYesent the grain dealers here are hard, hit, for they cannot get railroad cars to load, and have their elevators all full. So the farmers cannot sell their grain. 1 think it would be a wise thing if our lawmakers at Washington would insist on opening up the ocean waters and permit a free right-of-way for our merchants’ ships to neutral harbors, and stop Johnny Bull of capturing our vessels. Another good thing would be to stop the exportation of war material and ship our farm products, so as to open the channels of the farm industry and letting the profits go to the masses and not like it is now, to the classes. The altitude of Nebraska varies. As an average it raises ten feet on every mile west. Right here the elevation is about 1200 feet, while the highest point out west is close to 5,000 feet. Lots of irrigation Is going on in the western part of the state. Quite a few dams have been put into the streams, hence lots of water power is gained. Quite a few’ still grist mills are still running by waterwheel. Nebraska has no mining of any kind, nor has it oil fields. It is simply a grazing and farming state. Seventeen years ago land sold here for from $25 to $35 an acre! Here of late many real estate changes are made for from SIOO to $l5O per acre. To enrich the ground, it is mostly done by feeding it, clover. Up to this time there has been no fertilizer used here.. From year to year there are more silos added for stock feeding. Most of the fences here consist of barbed wire, but lately more woven wire fences are put up. Our public school districts are three miles square. Road districts have the same dimensions. Our Sew ard county has a farm demonstrator to give advice and instruct the farmers in improving their farms and crops. I. for my part, don’t see much
