that some mice had tried to make a

Maupin Says Smiling Time.

LINCOLN, NEB.. August To the
Editor Of The State journal: have

tions. both agriculturally and men.

crop this year will be very short yet
there will lots OF corn In Neraska.
Resides, the silo comes along to do Its
part, just as alfalfa came along few
years ago and has since performed a
wonderful part.
But was especially struck by the
mental attitude OF the farmers. They
are not worrying half so much as our
city friends. shudder to think
what would happen we're political and
crop conditions now like they we're
twenty years ago. Twenty years ago
. short corn crop spelled trouble In
chunks, and when on top Of that we
had a change In administration and
a congress monkeying with the tarifI
and the currency there was grief be-
yond expression.
It's different now. The corn crop
Is badly of. yet the farmers are smil.
ing because OF big wheat yields and
huge stacks of succulent alfalfa.
They are putting the corn IN silos
and smilingly admitting that they
couldn't expect bumper corn crop
every year forever. They are not
worrying about congress or the tarifI
and 80 far a. could ascertain are not
laying awake at nights worr, ing
about currency legislation.
