trifle higher. than Chicago prices. Reports
from Chicago are also to the effect that
oats coming in from Illinois and southeast
ern Iowa are Weighing from t~wenty-eight
to thirty-two pounds.
Grain dealers say the farmers have paid
more attention to varieties Of oats this
year and as a result they not only have
oats which have big, plump berries, but
have produced a type Of oats which have
a strong rust-resisting straw which have
held the grain perfectly and not gone down
In winds and rain. The result of this care
Will be apparent everywhere when the crop
comes to market and the grower who has
given careful attention to the variety
planted will get more for his crop. as the
mIllers will be in the market for a vast
quantity of milling oats, not having carried
over any of last years crop. The old oats
In the country will be little or no competi-
ton for the new crop, as the new crop
weighs better and is an all around better
quality for milling.
Most of Wheat Cut.
Nearly all the wheat is cut on the AL
lance division of the Burlington and farm
ers are preparing to thresh. On the Sterling
division the wheat is about half cut. Corn
is looking fine on the Alliance and Sterling
divisions and indications point to a good
crop. The report of the superintendent OF
the southern division says there have
been received at Clearmont 245, 372 pounds
of wool, 272,s47 pounds forwarded. on hand
1879 pounds. Shearing will be finished
this week. About half OF the wool around
Buffalo has been hauled.

some OF the New Grain Weighs This
High and the Average IL Ex-
pected to Go Nearly to
That Figure.

New oats are arriving on the Omaha
market-and they are oats, with a dish of
oatmeal in every berry.
From all indications Nebraska will have
a crop of oats which will be high grade
and weigh up better than standard. 1t
will not be necessary to clip them In order
to make them weigh up.
Two carloads received Tuesday showed
twenty-seYen and twenty-nine pounds,
while the Crowell Grain company has re-
ceived a few cars at country stations which
have weighed thirty-one to thirty-three
pounds to the bushel.
These are considered heavy oats by In
spector Powell of the Omaha Grain eX-
change, who last year handled carloads
which tested from fourteen to ~twenty-six
pounds to the bushel. Mr.. Powell believes
the average Nebraska oats will dry out
and weigh from twenty-nine to thirty-two
pounds TO the bushel. He said those re-
eeived Tuesday would dry out a good
thirty pounds.
Last year the crop in Nebraska and
Iowa was not only short, but the weight
was low. Grain dealers who had contracts
to fill for mills had a hard time to get
standard oats which they had agreed to
deliver. One Omaha house secured a ma
chine which would clip a little of the husk
from the oats and reduce the amount Of
chaff in the grain. But this was a losing
proposition and good fortune smiled on sew
ersl dealers when carloads OF oats were
Slipped to Omaha from the irrigated fields
OF Idaho which weighed from thirty-fivs TO
torty-eight pounds to the bushel.
