VISIT BELT IN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA
Thorough Inspection Of Fields In
Great Section COnvinees Them
that Some Injury Has
Been Done.

Forty grain men Of Omaha. Milwaukee
and Chicago returned Monday morning
over the Rock Island from their excursion
through the wheat fields OF Nebraska and
Kansas, where they went last Saturday
afternoon for personal inspection of crop
conditions. The excursion was under the
direction OF N. B. UpdflSe Of the Updike
Grain company, who said:
our party made a thorough inspection
Of the fields in southern and northern
Kansas and after a vote taken on the
train Saturday night. 1t was the consensus
Of opinion that the winter wheat crop In
the counties visited in Kansas would not
be more than 50 per cent OF the average
crop. The wheat has been badly damaged
by green bugs and dry and cold weather,
and If rain is not had soon the crop may
not be more than rs per cent
w. C. Sunderland of the Sunderland
Grain company, who went on the exeur-
sion, said:
Many Stops as Possible
I'VE stopped as often as possible for OK
animation of the fields in southern Ne
braska Saturday afternoon and found
green bugs In every field. but they had not
begun to damage the crop to any extent.
We went through Sumner, Reno. Kiowa,
sedgwick, Pratt, Ford, Mcpherson, Re
public, Washington. Clyde and Cloud coun-
ties of Kansas Sunday and found that the
damage by drouth and green bugs was
extensive. The damage was particularly no
ticeable in Sumner, Sedgwick and Reno
counties, but the Nebraska crops are prac-
tically uninjured as yet, although the re-
suit of the appearance OF the green bugs
in the Nebraska fields Is sdll problematical.
II the bugs attack the wheat In the Ne
braska fields as they did those in Kansas.

A loving word written upon the heart
in life is worth a thousand written on

stand at the end of our pilgrimage and
look back at life we have passed
through, what changes we would make
in our words and conduct we're we
permitted to retrace our steps and
travel over the road again! But this
we never can do. We pass along the
way of life but once, and we need to
make the most of 1t at each step along
the way We ought to make IL our
business to heal and not to wound, TO
lift up and not TO cast down, to make
glad and not inflict sorrow, TO provoke
a smile instead of bringing a tear
Then we would have a heaven on
earth, and God would dwell among us.
