Form of Det
Total .
state Debt in Detail.

In addition to the state debt of 1890 an ad-
ditional issue of bonds, amounting to $780,
600, must be added, this amount being
authorized by the Legislature of 1891, for the
relief of the drouth sufferers In western Ne
braska. The balance of the bonded indebt-
edness dates from February 4, 1877, at
which time it was authorized for the pur-
pose of taking up outstanding floating in
debtedness. 1t draws s per cent interest
and will mature in April, 1897. 1t will be
taken care of by the sinking fund, which on
Novembe Der 80 of the year 1893 amounted to
S2l7, sos. In addition to the regular sinking
fund the legislature has also provided a spe-
cial fund, known rs the relief fund, for the
payment Of the last issue of 800, 900 bonds
for the relief of the drouth sufferers in the
western part of the state. On November 30
the relief fund amounted TO S3l ,249.2S. The
sinking funus will easily take care of the
funded Indebtedness of the state when it be-
comes due.
Taking the consolidated debt of the
state, including state, county, mu-
nicipal, for towns and cities hav-
ing over 1000 population, and school dis
trict Indebtedness, it will be interesting to
notice the purposes for which the entire
amount was incurred. This will be shown

TH~uIuHUVUIIS JUUTTIuI.
The Prendergast trial is responsible for
the introduction of a new term in medical
Jurisprudence. Some of the medical experts
testified their belief that the defendant was
a paranolac. A paranoiac is q person who
exhibits parauoia, and this is defined as "a
chronic form of insanity developing IN a
neuropsychoputhic constitution, presenting
systematized decisions of moro or less def
mite scope. while in other directions there
may appear n fair amount of mental health"

Courage of Its Convictions.

There is one thing admirable in the repub-

it to carry out It's policy. No division
weakens it, no hesitation binders it, no
cowardice causes it to waver. In this re-
spect the democrats in congress may well
learn from their adversaries.

People Of the State Have Assumed
SOME FACTS ABOUT STATE FINANCES
plain Proposals Made by the omoial
Records which Must Soon Receive Care
full Confederation that Serious DIM
Guilty May Bo Avoided.

LINCOLN. Mob, Jan. Especial to THE
BEE. THE time seems to have arrived IN
the history OF Nebraska when tho question
of state finances must be considered in inc
light of tho facts as they actually exist,
rather than In the customary self-congratu-
latory manner that has always characterized
previous discussion of the subject. All
things being equal, Nebraska should have
every reason TO be proud Of her financial
standing In the union of states. But w
states in the union can point to a better
financial statement, as far as regularly ac-
credited Indebtedness goes but there exists
an indebtedness of which the people have
but a dim and underlined understanding--an
indebtedness which has reached serious
proportions that it must soon engage the
thoughtful consideration of the best finan-
ciers in the state.
1t is the purpose of THE Bee in n series OF
articles, of which this Is the first, to place
before the people q few facts concerning
state finances MS they appear from the rec
ords. These records have not heretofore
been given to the public except in carefully
guarded phrases.
No Sensations Promised.
In order TO disarm in advance the super
sensitive critics who are ever ready to cry
down any attempt to tell the truth in regard
to public affairs in Nebraska II may DO
stated at the outset that The BEE is seeking
to uncover no evidences of rascality. 1t will
not deal in sensationalism, neither does it
expect to unearth a succession of frauds. IL
does propose, however, to tell the truth about
the methods which have prevailed in the
offices of the state house whereby the state
funds have been systematically farmed for
The benefit of the few individuals who have
for years enriched themselves at the ex-
pense Of the treasury.
1t will be the purpose of this article simply
to present in as concise a manner as possible
a few facts concerning the actual, apparent
Indebtedness of the state, with a brief glance
at the county. municipal and school district
debt.
For the purpose of comparison the follow
ing table will show the consolidated debt of
Nebraska il the years 1880 and 1870:

Early Tomatoes.

Let it be borne in mind that the
earliest tomato is not necessarily the
best for the trucker. Methods count
much more than varieties. Skillful
handling by one man may make small
early tomato a large early tomato,
while in the hands of another it NAV
lose both in size and date of maturity
The earliest tomatoes are probably in
their order: Faultless, Puritan, Par
agon, Optimus, Dwarf Champion, Cum
berland Red, Atlantic Prize and Hors-
ford's Prelude, though the latter is
small l think, however, that better
satisfaction would be derived from the
following list, which, though not quite
SO early naturally, could be made bv
the free use of superphosphate, practi,
cally as early, and which would give a
larger yield of better and more market.
able fruit for longer time: Acme,
Trophy, Ponderosa, New Stone, Match.
less, Table Queen, Mikado, Paragon,
Optimus.
For a fertilizer use same formula as for
strawberries, to wit, either a complete
fertilizer ready made, with the addi.
ton of twenty pounds muriate of pot.
ash per cwt:; or 800 pounds superphos.
phate. 100 pounds nitrate of soda and
$50 pounds muriate of potash. A good
plan would be to use only half the
amount of nitrate of soda when first
applied, and the remainder in inter.
cultural applications, thus prolonginQ
the bearing season.

Answered by Director Reddinp: rha

Answered by Director Redding: The
fact that no one in your section sows
oats in the fall might be held as pre-
sumptive evidence that the inexpedien-
cy OF doing SO had been long ago de-
termlned by experience. But l would
not let such evidence deter me from
trying the experiment for myself.
when 1t does escape winter-killing
fall-sown crop is so much more product
I've that would SOW every fall-at least
half OF all my crop-even if not assured
OF success more than one year in three.
But every reasonable precaution should
be observed.
l. Secure hardy, winter variety
such as the winter Turf oat, or the
Henry county" (Va.) oat. The first
named has generally been sold by Mark
w. johnson Seed Co., of Atlanta, This
is a slow maturing variety, and should
be sown early. 1t has proven to be the
most hardy to resist freezing than any
OF the varieties tested at the station
during the last five years, and is quite
productive.
2. Sow early in the fall-in your Sec
ton early in September
.. AS rule avoid low-lying. wet bot
tom land; Your dry, valley lands are
not Objectionable.
4. Sow literally, say from two and a
half to four bushels of seed per acre ::
and II the land is thin manure well,
using 400 to 900 pounds of good guano
or mixture of acid phosphate and cot
ton seed meal per acre, two thirds of
the acid and one third of meal. About
the lst to 18th of March, or even later,
top-dress with 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre, sowing it just before or
just after rain. This will greatly in
crease the yield of both grain and
straw.
The above are the special precautions.
The land should be thoroughly and
deeply plowed and narrowed until
smooth and mellow. The seed may be
sown by hand and covered with cut
away harrow, or Morgan spading har-
row, or any good harrow, and the sur
face smoothed with smoothing har-
row, or, better still, put in the seed
with a grain drill. The fertilizer
should be applied at the same time the
seed are sown, excepting, of course, the
nitrate Of soda, which should be applied
after growth starts in the spring.
The above suggestions will apply to
any section of Georgia, with such mod
1fications as will occur to any thinking
farmer. Farther south the Texas Rust
proof and the Appler IA sub-variety of
the Texas R. p may be sown, and the
sowing may be later according as the
latitude is lower.

Big Strawberries.

]. w. T., Columbus Ca. What are the lar
gest varieties OF Strawberries and what is the
very best manure for them? What are the
earliest and best varieties Of tomatoes and
manure for same =: Also same for cantaloupess
Answer by Hugh N. Starnes, Horticul-
turist: The most uniformly large berry
l know is the Sharpless, 1t is also ear
ly and OF excellent flavor, requiring lit
tie sugar, as it is not acid. It is irreR-
ular in shape, but always large and
outsells any other berry two to one in
home market. It's drawbacks are that
it is not good shipper, is not heavy
bearer and is soon over. With all these
taken into consideration, would new
ertheless recommend Sharpless unhes-
itatingly for home market. Its ap-
pearance alone will sell it, and, after
all, this is what the trucker wants.
It's appearance is not deceptive, either,
for the buyer, purchasing by looks,
gets good berry in quality.
Next to sherpless perhaps Haverland
comes In as a good second. 1t is large
and mid-season to late. Not Of first
quality but sells well on account OF
size. Rather soft for shipping. 1t is a
pistillate that is, does not self-fertilizeI
and must be planted near some per,
fectly Towering variety, as Sharpless,
Wilson, Michel or Hoffman. One row
of Sharpless between six of Haverland
will do, thoSgh, if planting both kinds,
it would be best to alternate.
Crescent is another good berry.
Large, bright scarlet, of good flavor
and prolific, vigorous grower. Pistil-
late.
Candy is another good. large, late
variety, regular, of excellent quality
and ships well.
Hoffman is best large early berry
for long shipments carries we'll
quality good.
Bubach (No. 81 while not so large as
the others mentioned, should not be
omitted. It IS of mid-season and of
good quality. Bederwood, Wolverton,
Jessie (P) and Charles Downing are all
good berries.
The best manure you can use is a
complete fertilizer, with an addition of
potash either in the form of muriate
of potash Oh wood ashes. Use all the
stable manure you can command and
in addition from four to six hundred
pounds of any good standard fertilizer,
with the addition per cwt., of twenty
pounds of muriate of potash or one
hundred pounds of unleached ashes.
You can make good formula for
yourself with $50 pounds superphos-
phate, 100 pounds nitrate of soda,
and $50 pounds of muriate of pota sh.
The chemicals can be bought from any
fertilizer house.
