WHEAT YIELD
Total Loss Estimated at Two Million
Bushels,

A Lincoln grain man who receives
reports from all parts OF the state said
recently that he believed two million
bushels OF wheat would be the extent
OF h loss on account OF rains and
high water in Nebraska. and that the
balance OF the crop would be dam
aged from 2 to 10 cents a bushel.
Notwithstanding the weather there
will be an enormous yield. estimated
all the way from so. zoo. 900 to 60, 900, 900
bushels, an enormous increase over
last year. This large yield will bring
in large revenues despite the damaged
wheat. Most of the harm promises to
result from the color which will be too
dark on account of rain and thus the
grade of the crop will be lowered.

water had swept owe it and leveled

corn was also remarkable. considering
the recent floods. Some Is washed
out. but where IL has been covered
with standing water it still retains its
color and is injured. Owing to an
absence of hot sunshine during the
rainy period the corn has o been
blistered by the suns rays.

A Washington. ID. c.. July 10, dis
patch says: The commissioner of in
ternal revenue today decided that
oleomargarine which has been colored
by the use of palm oil shall be sub
ject to a tax of 10 cents a pound.
The law requires that any Oleomar-
garinc which has been artiticially col
ored to resemble butter of any shade
of yellow shall pay a tax OF 10 cents
a pound. but that when made with
any constituent part that gives it a
yellow color 1t shall be taxed but one
fourth of ! cent a pound. The COM
missioner holds palm oil has never
been used as a component part OF
oleomargarinc and that it's use Is
clearly for coloring purposes.
One of the manufacturers OF oleo-
margarine has served notice OF his
intention to use palm oil as a coloring

ufacturers who have served notice that
they will seek to color the oleo after
1t has been sold to the dealer or con-
sumner.
The department has issued a circu-
lar letter of instructions giving tests
by which coloring material may be
detected in cleo. Fuller's earth isHpre-
scribed as the test for y~ellow13GS
which are used extensively in SoloS
ing oleo and butter. A pinch of the
earth Is placed on a saucer and covered
with a sample of the melted oleo. The
presence of any of the analine dye will
be shown by the mixture turning a
rose color. IT the oleo has not been
artifiCially colored the mixture will re-
main the color of the Fuller's earth.
For a cottonseed test the butter or
oleo is melted and an ounce of benZine
is added. If the cottonseed oil has
been USED a white residue settles to
the bottom.
The circular says "if a sample gives
negative results by both tests above
described, 1t may safely concluded that
it is free from artificial coloration. ~
it responds to either test. or if there Is
any doubt as to the results obtained.
the sample should be forwarded to this

LORD SALISBURY QUITS

cefueu by bhitour
A London, July 10. dispatch says:
The fact of the resignation Of the
premiership of Great Britain by Lord
Salisbury, as foreshadowed in the dis
patches of the Associated press, was
officially given out this evening. The
prime minister laid down the RESPONSE
bility of his office July II. Within
twenty-four hours his majesty elevated
a. j. Balfour. the governments chief
representative in the house of COM
mons. to the position of premier. ,
While 1t was expected in official cir
Giles thai Lord Salisbury's retirement
would be coincident with the corona
ton of King Edward, it was scarcely
looked for prior to that event. Con-
sequently about the only surprise eX-
pressed as the news spread through
London concerned the date, rather
than the fact, of the resignation. The
real interest was not so much in fer
creme to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal
as it was in the appointment of his
successor.
AS to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason Is considered by prac-
tically all the best informed persons
to have been simply a desire for a
quiet life IN the part of a man ad-
vanced in years, whose activities have
been unusual, and whose scientific
tastes predispose him to study and Sc
clusion. That the retiring premier's
health has failed to some extent is UNI
