Acreage IL Increased.

The Burlington's report says that after
the snow melted. the sun and strons
winds tended to form a hard crust on the
fields. In most cases the fields have
been narrowed and the crust broken.
And taking into account the damage done
after the snow disappeared. the winter
wheat crop starts the season with a
prospect of 10 per cent of the miximum.
The acreage is put down as being much
larger than in former years.
A general rain fell last week over most
of the grain raising area of Nebraska
and II is predicted that II rains occur
and seasonable weather prevails. the
crop prospects will be up to 100 per cent
within the next few weeks.

BUMPER YIELDS PREDICTED
Railroad Officials Talk with Farm
ers and Elevator Owners.
GRASS IS COMING ON RAPIDLY
and Wyoming Ranges Indicates
that Losses OF stock Were
Not Oyerestimated.

Railroad offices are unusually opti-
mistlc over the crop outlook. and although
the growing season has hardly COM
menced. are predicting bumper Yields OF
small grain this year in Nebraska.
Northwestern officials are just back
from tour that covered most of the
Nebraska lines and after talking with
farmers and elevator men, declare that
there has never been time at this sea-
son Of the year when the outlook was 50
promising. From Fremont through. south
west TO the Kansas line, on the York AMI
Hastings. on the Scribner and Oakdale
and on the Omaha and Lincoln branches,
the condition at this time Is estimated
to be 100 per cent. All over this terri
tory the ground is reported to be In the
best possible state. with plenty OF mois-
ture. The winter wheat acreage is larger
than during former years and owing to
the recent heavy rains, is farther ad-
vsnced. Farmers are sowing their oats
and in some instances, blowing for corn
has commenced,
Damage Il Discounted.
The report that the winter wheat
through the southern part of the state
was damaged by dry weather and high
winds is discounted. the reports indi-
eating that there were but two or three
counties in southeast Nebraska and like
area in Kansas that sustained any dam
age.
The grass is coming on rapidly and
cattle are picking their living in the
pastures. This applies equally to the
sandhills of Nebraska. the ranges OF
South Dakota and Wyoming.
On their tour the Northwestern Off
oials learned that the live stock losses
throughout South Dakota and Wyoming
during the winter were not over-esti-
mated. In many localities, north and east
Of the Black Hills and In eastern Wyom-
ing, the cattle loss Is put down at Is
per cent and that Of sheep much greater.
The Burlington's first crop report Of
the season Is out and has arrived at the
general managers office In Omaha. II is
gathered by superintendent and agents
In Nebraska, who get their information
from observations and from talks with
farmers This report shows that the soil
contains an unusual quantity Of moist
ure, largely accumulated from melted
snow.

,'Hal Is Iu The Ring.

A man who was in Ashland.

who had obviously been partak-
ing freely of the wine of the

This fellow scratched a circle
in the dirt with his toe, took off
his tattered coonskin cap and
dropped it inside the circle.
"I'li kill anybody who picks
up the hat, he said.
And he produced a big blue
steel revolver.
There was an immediate scat
tering of the crowd.
