Yield OF Wheat Good In Quantity and
OuaIIty-Corn Grows Well.
United States Department of Agri.
culture, Nebraska Section, Climate and
Crop Service Of the Weather Bureau
Weekly Crop Bulletin-University OF
Nebraska, Lincoln, July 10.-General
summary:
The past week has been hot, with
heavy showers in eastern counties.
The daily mean temperature has av-
eraged 5 degrees above normal. The
maximum temperatures for the week
generally exceed 100 degrees in
southern counties and were but little
below 100 degrees in the northern.
The rainfall of the past week has
been heavy in southeastern counties,
varying from one to nearly six inch
es; in the northern and western coun-
ties it has generally been less than
half an inch.
Winter wheat harvest is nearly
completed and threshing ha COM
menced in southern counties; the yield
is good in both quantity and quail
ity. Spring wheat and oats have
been considerably damaged by chinch
bugs and dry weather in central and
southwestern counties, and in many
fields these crops will be about a fail
ure. In some places chinch bugs are
leaving the wheat fields and attacking
the corn. Corn has been damaged
slightly in a few southwestern coun-
ties by the hot weather of the past
week; generally, however, corn has
grown well and in a large part of the
state has grown very rapidly. Corn
is small for this time of year

NEBRASKA'S GAME LAW
Deputy simpkins Outlines Plan for It's
Enforcement.
NEW ENACTMENT NOW IN EFFECT
Looking Up q Desirable Site for Next
Annual Encampment of the National
Guard-Other Matters in Nebraska OF
More or Less Interest.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 10.-Members
of the Nebraska Fish commission met
in the Office of Deputy Warden Simp-
kins and outlined plans for enforcing
the provisions of the new game law,
which went into effect July 1. So far
as known there will be no organized
efforts on the part of the market hunt
ers to violate the law, but all of the
under deputies have been instructed
to be on the lockout and if any one
is found shooting or attempting to
shoot for the market he will be
promptly arrested and vigorously pros
ecuted.
Under the new law the deputy game
warden is held responsible for the
management of the state fish hatcher
les. Several changes in the admins
tration of this institution have been
proposed and the commission will
probably meet next week to give them
consideration. Complaints against
Superintendent O'Brien will also be
given attention at the next meeting.
Governor Savage and Deputy Game
Warden Simpkins refuse to disclose
the nature of these complaints until
after the accused has had a hearing.

COFFEE IS TO GO IN FREE.
Ruling OF the Treasury Department

Ruling of the Treasury Department
Gives Foreign Shippers Chance,
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Under a
ruling of the Treasury department cof-
fee shipped from the United States to
Porto Rico will be admitted into Por-
to Rico free of duty as soon as free
trade is proclaimed between the United
States and that island.
This in practice will result likely in
all coffee shipped into Porto Rico
from any country being admitted free
Of duty. Although the Porto Rican
tariff provides for a duty of 5 cents a
pound on all coffee imported from a
foreign country, it is expected that
coffee importers will take advantage of
the fact that coffee is admitted free
into the United States and ship their
coffee into the United States and
thence to Porto Rico, thus avoiding
the duty which would be imposed if
SHIPPED from a foreign country direct to
Porto Rico.

Adjutant General Colby Goes on = Tour

LINCOLN, Neb., July 10.-Adjutant
General Colby will make a trip in
northwestern Nebraska for the pur-
pose of visiting several sites that
have been proposed as suitable and
desirable for the next annual en-
campment of the Nebraska National
guard. He will leave the railroad at
Valentine and travel southwark
through the cluster of lakes near -
ergreen creek, in the eastern section
Of Cherry county, and from there he
will go westward along Snake river
and other branches of the Niobrara
river. This territory includes the
widest and most secluded scenery in
the state. 1t is about midway be-
tween the main northwestern lines of
the Elkhorn and Burlington railroads.
Several wooded spots along Dismal
creek, which flows through Blaine,
Hooker and Thomas counties, have
also been suggested and General Colby
may visit them before he returns.
I'VE wish to locate the encampment
where it will not benefit one railroad
to the exclusion of all Others" said
General Colby. "The places suggested
in Cherry county meet all require
ments that cannot be found anywhere
else. They are isolated and far from
the centers of ~habitation. There are
lakes all along the creeks
in Cherry county and the water is al
clear and cool and inVigorating.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South onnAha
and Kansas City.

oOO4A
CattIe-There was not a heavy run OF
cattle and a good proportion OF the re-
ceipts were western rangers, which re-
duced the supply Of cornfed steers con-
| siderably. There were not many beef
steers in the yards and the quality OF the
offerings on the whole was rather COM
mon as compared with what has been
coming in OF late. Packers did not seem
particularly anxious for supplies ana as
a result the market was more or less IN
even. There were not many cornred
COWS and heifers in the yards and the
better grades sold just about steady. me
common stuff was of course neglected.
and sellers thought they had to sell them
a little lower. The n season was
opened in good shape by the arrival OF
several cars of grass COWS from the west
ern part of the state. Packer were. Of
course, rather afraid of them, as they
cannot tell how they will kill out. One
string sold at $3.50. which looked a little
lower thar yesterday. Bulls and stays
sold at about steady prices where the
quality was satisfactory, but slow and
lower where it was not. About the same
could be said of veal calves. Stockers
and feeders were no higher and it was
evident that the demand was limited.
Hogs-There was not a heavy run Of
hogs, and as the demand on the part or
local packers was in good shape. and
also because advices from other points
were favorable to the selling interests,
the market here ruled od1Oc higher and
active. At the start packers were only
bidding $3.50 and S5.92h for the general
run, but they failed to get many at that
price and raised their bids. The bulk Of
all the hogs sold at from $500 to $3.50.
with the long string at the split. Some
of the choicer loads sold as high as $500
Sheep-There were scarcely enough
sheep on sale to make a good test of tho
market. but what did sell brought good,
strong prices, and it was evident from the
way packers acted that thew wanted the
Most of the arrivals were sold to
arrive at yesterdays prices. Lambs sold
at $500, wethers at $40 and ewes at 1910.
There were a few little punches that sold
on today's market and they brought
good, strong prices. The lambs sold at
ewes at $40 and a bunch of fed
yearlings sold at $3.50.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE
complaints from land offices in Okla
homa other than Ell Reno and Lawton
that they should be allowed to make
registrations from the opening of the
reservations are regarded officially as
not well founded. The matter was
taken up some weeks ago and Delegate
Flynn at the time unsuccessfully en-
deavored to have the other Oklahoma
Offices included.
It is claimed here that the reports
Of the number of cattle on the land
to be opened has been exaggerated
and Chat there are in fact on the
Wichita reservation only $4,000 head.
The opening of certain lands on Au-
gust 6, which stockmen are seeking to
have postponed, is mandatory. A
large part of the $4,000 head on the
Wichita lands, it is claimed, can be
SHIPPED to market by the allotted time
and the rest moved down to the XII
owa grazing lands, which will not be
thrown open to settlement.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Today's advices
to the Board of Trade grain compa-
MES are to the effect that the heat
and drouth in the southwest are I'M
broken. 1t is said that the damage
outside of Kansas and Missouri is COM
paratively slight, but that unless there
is relief within the next ten days the
corn crop situation will approach a
calamity.
A message from Topeka, Kan, says
the prospects are for a crop of but
so, 90. 900 bushels of corn, although last
years crop was f63, OO0, 900 and the
year before 237, OOO, 900 bushels. The
loss Of hay and potatoes is also great,
second only to the loss of corn. 1t is
estimated that the farmers of Kansas
and Missouri have already lost $50, G00,-
600 by the torridity and drouth.
The straits in the corn crop is said
to be owing to the intense heat and
lack Of moisture and is reflected in

IN the Board Of Trade. Corn for Sep
TENDER delivery at the opening today
sold simultaneously from SIC to 52&c,
