CROP AND CATTLE SITUATION
Cattle Raiser from Hyannis Reports
Fine Conditions in His
Locality.

]. c. Bostwick OF Hyannis. Neb., came
into Omaha over the Union Pacific Friday
morning. He brings interesting news OF
the crop and cattle situations in western
Nebraska. The wheat yield In that as
well as other sections of the state, he
says, is excellent and with favorable con-
ditions from now on an enormous harvest
will be reaped.
Thu order for the removal OF fences on the
ranges is, in the estimation OF Mr.. Bos:-
wick, a boon to the small cattle raiser
and will work to the great advantage of
the meat consumer. He declares that this
will force the large cattle ranger out and
give the small ones greater opportunities.
The reason for this is. he argues, that
the small cattle raisers can easily herd
their stock, while the extensive herds can
not thus be handled. AS a consequence
he says that already the stock market is
charging, sales are multiplying, and that
within a short time vast numbers Of cattle
will be sent to buyers.
Grass for grazing never was better in the
end OF the state from which Mr.. Bostwick
comes and he predicts excellent times for
the men who are in the cattle business on
a small scale. He is an old stockman
himself and is familiar with the subject in
all its details.
Another very important benefit that will
be derived from the passage of this bill is
pointed to by this gentleman In that facil-
ity for colonizing the western part Of the
state. He holds that the same conditions
which will initiate to the disadvantage OF
the extensive cattlemen and promote the
interests OF the smaller ones will offer
golden opportunities and inducements for
settlers. He consequently looks for a sub
stantial tide OF immigration in that section.
