Wealth Of Nebraska's Farm YIelds.
Paradoxical as 1t may seem, Ne
braska, the state without mine, yet
produces annually from her fertile
farms the value OF one.half of all the
gold mined in the world. The stats.
tical abstract Of the United States
shows the production Of gold in the
entire world from 1895 to 1910 to be
s4,S66,400,100; during this period the
production of grain and live stock
alone from the farms OF Nebraska
amounted in value at current market
prices to the total sum Of $20O5,5 ,50s,.
039.
These figures Of Nebraska produc.
ton do not include the value Of her
annual crops Of hay, dairy products,
root and vegetable crops. fruit, or her
enormous poultry output. When one
gets a world.view Of production and
the relation which Nebraska sustains
to the constant needs of humanity
the Importance Of her agriculture is
emphasized.
During the fifteen years from 1896
to 1910. Nebraska has produced over
two billions OF bushels Of grain, in.
cluding wheat, corn.. oats. rye and
barley. The value Of this grain
reaches total of $710.S32. $500. as
reported by the department of agri.
culture. During the same period the
value Of the live stock on Nebraska
farms reaches q total Of $1,294,675;.
$1,000, not including fowls.
Nebraska farmers are frequently
accused by soil experts Of the offense
Of mining the SOIL" and doubtless
there y foundation for this charge.
but II 80. they are mining more
profitably for the feeding Of the hun.
cry and the creation Of wealth Of real
value than those who dig gold and
silver. Meanwhile. the progressive
farmers Of Nebraska are putting into

creasing the fertility Of their lands
It may safely be predicted that Ne
braska will at least maintain the
average Of the great production which

her farms, and that In all probability
this production will steadily increase
In the future.
Nebraska Third In Winter Wheat.
In the year 1911 Nebraska stood
third in production OF hard winter
wheat, beng exceeded only by Kan
sac and Illinois. Kansas had nearly
100000 acres more in wheat than
Nebraska, but raised three bushels
per acre less. 1t Ia probable that for
this year Nebraska will Jump to first
In total production Of winter wheat
with her great crop Of approximately
b0.000.000 bushels.
1t is interesting TO compare the
wheat crop Of Nebraska with that Of
other wheat growing states which are
much in the public eye because OF
their advertising: In 1911 Nebraska
raised 1,428.000 more bushels Of win.
ter wheat than the states Of Wash
ington and Idaho. 100000 bushels
more than the combined crop OF
Idaho. Montana, California. Utah and

Search Your Ballots for

On a separate ballot at the fall
election will be several constitu-
tional amendments to be voted
on. They are all important, and
probably any one of them are as
important as the election of Gov
ernor.
Every voter should look over
thatballotas carefully as the reg
ular ballot and consider whether
he wants the amendment. If he
doesn't want it or is uncertain
he should vote against it.
The most important of all is
that which seeks to give every
judge of the supreme court four
years additional time in office
without another election. 1t is
true that the voters general
ly vote in favor of amendments
to the constitution without study
ing or understanding their effect
hence it is becoming a practice
to bring up some proposition
that would not carry if voted up
on directly and get it through by
proposing it as a constitutional
amendment and have it voted on
indirectly. It is sought in this way
to give the present judges twenty
years more Office without any new
elections.
Look for this amendment on the
ballot and when you find it vote
against it.
