Various Forms of
Gov. MOrehead Are
Hard Luck Victims
CFrom a staff Correspondents

LINCOLN, Aug. 1.--(special.) --Gov-
ernor Morehead may be lucky as a can
didate f0r office and be able to pull off
SUCCESSFUL campaign whenever he at
temptI Il. but as a farmer. or rather
owner of farms. his experience this year
has not been along the lines Of much
success
The Nebraska executive owns considers
able land in Richardson county, in the
southeastern part of the state. Ordinarily
this land yields good returns for the
money and has enabled the governor to
run for office without having TO depend
upon the salary 10 pay the bulls. But
this year he win have to fall back on
his banking business. for a surplus from
the farms Is liable to be on the other
side Of the ledger.
First. the hessian fly took a slice Of
the governors wheat down on the Rich
ardson county farm. When the cold
rains about got away with the fly and
II looked as n the fields remaining would
yield good crop, then the floods came
and the Nsmaha river flooded the bot
toms and away went crop prospects
Then. later, the Missouri river bottoms
overlooked and some more crops went
to the bad.
But the governor kept good-natured
although sadly disappointed, for he
thought Of his nice high land out In
Dundy county. where the small grain
was out of reach OF the heavy rains and
floods and he knew that big returns
would come from the Dundy county
farms.
But. alas and alacki Word comes to
him now from his Dundy county tenants
that a DISASTROUS hsslstorm has swept his
farms and not bushei Of crops OF any
kind viii be taken from the land
However, Governor Morehead is not
discouraged II don't like TO lose out"
said he. but feel sorry for my ten

now loses the fruit OF his toll"
