few words for western Nebraska, espe-

crop of everything that will grow In our
eastern states Wheat Is now being
threshed and runs from sixteen to thirty
six bushels per acre, and all other small
grain about the same way. Corn is IN
roasting ear now and clean. and bids fair
for large crop. No country has bet

easier than In western Nebraska. We
need more settlers as we have surplus

water TO be had from a depth OF twenty
