NEBRAsKA's GREAT CORN CROP


100000 900 Bushels IL the Estimate and
1t May He More.
A conservative estimate of Nebras-
ka's corn crop. which,is now safe from
frost, Is 800 .O0O. 900 bushels. 1t is hard
for the mind to grasp what these fig-
ures mean.
Counting 60 bushels of shelled corn
to the load. 1t would take five million
teams to haul the crop to market. a
caravan that would reach around the
world. 1t will take an army of $4,000
men over two months to husk 1t II they
husk SO bushels day each. II loaded
into cars of 10000 capacity It would
take 1000 cars to haul the crop, q
train over 1000 miles long. AT no
time within the past ten years has
there been such tendency on the part
Of farmers to look for new locations,
either to better themselves or to pro-
vide homes for their children. Many
sections In the East are overcrowded,
while thousands Of acres Of rich. we J.
watered lands can still be had in Ne
braska and Northern Kansas at COM
low prices. Thousands will
visit that country this fall. as the
railroads have announced cheap-rate
harvest excursions for Oct. 3 and IL.

Do their bright swords leap to live now?
10 they hear the far relied thunder Of
the grim guns in the night!
Oh. the story and the glory Of the fallen
In the fight!
Does the clamor of the Capt-ins reach
their ranks all ghostly white?
Nay-they rest with rustins blades.
All the glory starred brigades.
ANA tce peace OF God II on them In the
spIen3or Of the light.
In the peace Of God they sleep. while the
b4stle thunders sweep
Over the echoing oceans where deep call
eth deep:
Where the stormy sea to sea
waves the starred nag Of the free.
And their comrades. armed In honor. their
vigil fires keep.
Oh. their story. and their glory! Let the
red stripes DER them wave,

the life blood that they gave!
Blow. bu1ies. east and west.
Over their rose wreathed rest,
And the love Of q common country. like
