Omaha, Neb., Feb. 22.-As a result
of continuous tests of Nebraska seed
corn, the Commercial club of Omaha
announced yesterday that only 271a
per cent of the corn held by farmers
for seed in Nebraska will grow.
The state has been alarmed by such
reports, which are said to be abso-
lutely authentic. The corn in the
northern part of the state is abso-
lutely worthless for seed. In the
southern part, those farmers who have
tested corn, find they Lave only suf-
ficient seed for themselves and will
have none to sell.

While the citizens Of Norfolk are to

there is no obligation on the part OF
the State Military Board to continue
its use for that purpose unless 1t

board regarding the site, which han
been previously accepted. There had
been some talk about a conditional
deed, but the ,nembers Of the board
expressed their Funwillingnoss to &C

cation declared that it would make
the State present of the property,
at cost to the citizens of about S2o,-
900 and to the railroad of $4,000. with
the understanding that 1t would be
used in good faith for q camp ground

copied.

There is an understanding, however

Recommends Condemnation Pro-
ceedings to Acquire Site
for New Structure.
THINKS COST EXCESSIVE
Representatives Of Owners Re-
sent Attempt to Hold Club
Il Over Their Heads.

Acting on the recommendation Of
a subcommittee, the Council Committee
on Streets last night rejected the OPP
ton on the Mayo Bridge property,
which had been secured by the Cham
Der of Commerce during the discus
sion of the annexation question, and
recommended to the Council that the
bridge with its approaches and rights
be condemned at once. The option
price of s127,50o was declared by sew
eral members to be entirely too high
for a structure that had been con-
demned, and which would prove use
less save for the right of way.
The subcommittee, which had viewed
the various proposed locations along
the river front and looked into the
possibility of paralleling the bridge, or
using another route, reported that
in its Judgment the best site proposed
was that now occupied by the Mayo
Land and Bridge Company. The re-
port stated that Ware B. Gay had
appeared before the committee and
confirmed the option made to certain
members of the Chamber of Com
merce offering the bridge for $780,
500. the option to expire May 81.
The rights included strip of land
ninety feet wide across Mayo's Island.
The subcommittee reported that 1t
considered this price excessive, and
recommended that the City Attorney
be instructed to begin condemnation
proceedings to acquire the rights by
purchase or condemnation.

tinued and stated that it would make
