More About Winter Wheat

Again we desire to urge upon our
readers in Nebraska the importance
of at once preparing the land for the
winter wheat crop. Winter wheat
is the surest as well as the most profit
able crop raised in the greater por-
ton of Nebraska The figures of the
harvest that has Just been completed
will show beyond doubt that the
per acre yield of winter wheat in Ne
.braska exceeds that of any other state
of the middle west and contrary to
the prevailing notion the state is
adapted to the growing of winter
wheat to the extreme northern bound
aries. Experience proves that where
the land has been properly prepared
and the seeding done at the right
time the yield of winter wheat in
the northern half of the state hes
been greater than in the southern
half,
Oats stubble should be plowed inn
medately after the oats have been
removed, the ground plowed deep and
then thoroughly narrowed so as to
form good close firm seed bed, when
five pecks per acre of turkish red
wheat should be put into the ground
with a press drill. The seeding should
be done not later than the 18th of
September if possible 1t often hap
, pens that seeding done a month later
than this produces good results, but
such cannot be depended upon. The
: important thing in winter wheat rails
ing is to prepare a good seed bed
and put the seed into the ground ear
ly enough to catch the fall rains so
as to make a liberal growth during
the fall and develope the root sys-
! tenn. Wherever these conditions have
been fulfilled a good crop has inva-
riably resulted If the root system
is well developed in the fall the spring
rains that have never yet failed us
in Nebraska are sufficient to guaran
tee good yield. By early sowing
: and a good start in fall the wheat
commences to grow early in the psrine
and has it's growth completed before
the weather becomes sufficiently hot

GENERAL W. e. CONFERENCE.

Announces Himself as o Candidate for Lay

Concern and is going to try to see If he can
not remedy that by being elected a lay
delegate to the General Conference for the
sole purpose Of championing the cause Of
the striking printers before that body.
Mr.. Coler announced his candidacy yester-
day at the Borough Hall, the place from
which he made public his letter to the Con-
ference almost before that body had re-
ceived it.
The last word said in the Conference on
the printers charges was by the Rev. DR..
Mains Of the Book Concern. He charged
that Mr.. Coler, on alleged information, had
written what was not so when he asserted
that the Book Concern was receiving a
guarantee Of profits from an association
called the Citizens Alliance, Of which DR..
Mains said he had never heard. Shortly
after DR.. Mains had spoken the Conference
adopted a resolution protesting against
all interference with the right which every
man has to work when. where and for
whom he pleases."
This resolution and DR.. Mains's as
s~ertions that Mr.. Coler ought ito be a
little more sure Of his facts before he talks"
stirred up the Hon. Bird yesterday to the
fighting pitch. He determined to go into
church politics and secure another election,
not so much for personal ~vindication as for
the intimation of one Of the Methodist clergy
in the Conference that he was a slanderer.
He said:
II slandered nobody. My letter to the
conference was fair and temperate, no
unfounded statements were made in it.
I was at some pains to make a plain case
for the consideration of the conference.
/ suggested that it was not wise for the
church to become involved in labor problems
as a partisan Of organized or ~unorganized
labor.
The letter was not met by the confer
ence, and the excuse was given that it had
no authority to act. Any Organization has
the authority to give a hearing on any
important question affecting the church,
and l know that the majority Of young
men in the conference were anxious to
take up the labor troubles in the book

MIR. Coler seemed to be confident that
he would be elected a lay delegate to the

and he wore a faded pair Of pink spangled
tights.
The audience was delighted and tossed
many pennies to him. This attracted
more people and soon the narrow street
was blocked. Policeman Hamilton Of the

the man for his license.

and was fined SIS b. Magistrate Baker for
performing in the street without a license.
Not having the money he was committed
to Jail. When the dinner hour rived
he refused to eat the prison fare. He said
that his religious belief forbade him to

old and the other 4, and rushed to the
police court. She told a group Of men
standing on the outside, among whom was
Joe Levy, the Duke Of Essex street, who
she was and pleaded with them to get her
husband out.
She said the family were on the very
verge of starvation and the husband hadn't
had anything to eat for several days. She
had been i'll herself nearly all winter, her
husband had beer out of work and her old
est child was very III, perhaps with a frac-

acrobat and clown on the East Side and
made plenty OF money.
Levy then went before the Magistrate
and asked for a reduction Of the fine. 1t
was cut down to 81 and paid by contribu-
ton.
Rosenbach was brought up from his cell
and a fearful greeting followed between
husband and wife. Again the hat was
passed and the contents were given to the
man and woman. who, after giving their
thanks, started for home.
