NEBRASKA'S GREAT CORN CROP
3OO,OOO,OOO bushels Is tho Estimate

3OO,OOO,OOO bushels Is tho Estimate
and 1t May BE More.
A conservative estimate of Nebras-
ka's corn crop, which is now safe from
frost, is 500 900 900 bushels. 1t is hard
for the mind to grasp what these fig
ureS mean.
Counting 60 bushels of shelled corn
to the load, it 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 it if they
husk 60 bushels a day each. If loaded
into cars of 10000 capacity it would
take 900 cars to haul the crop, a
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'll
watered lands can still be had in Ne
braska and Northern Kansas at COM
paratively low prices. Thousands will
visit that country this fall, as the
railroads have announced cheap-rate
harvest excursions for Oct. and II.

1t Has Been Planted fu the Black
Hills, and Is Being Nursed.
The recent tagging Of a train by a
Black Hills boy and the generous treat
ment accorded him by the passengers
and railroad officials have resulted in
inaugurating a new industry among
the Black Hills boys. The other day
some passengers, when at station
near where the tagging episode oc-
CURED, noticed a bright-faced, ragged
urchin near the track. Hoping to get
sight of the boy who had created so
much favorable comment by his action
a few days previously in tagging the
train and preventing what might have
been a serious accident, some of the
kindhearted and hero-worshiping pas
sengers asked the lad who he was.
He promptly replied: I'm de kid wOt
tagged de keers t other day" With
out stopping to verify his claim, they
at once began tossing him nickels,
dimes and quarters, and the lad profit
ed by his deceit. Every urchin who
puts in his time at the depotS in that
particular locality to see passing trains
is now 1.-The boy who tagged the train"
and unsuspecting passengers have am
