Hello, picture department. Is that

i have just sent a lady over to zee you
who says she has wonderful son who
can play every bit as we'll as Paderewski,

have the young man appear with the
Boston symphony orchestra on October
z. in its opening concert Of the Omaha
Retailers course. She claims that both
she and her husband have dealt with
the various Omaha retailers for the last
thirty years and that any one of them
will tell you all about her. OF course,

1t was up to Local Manager Pryor to
inform the lady that while the committee
realizes her son Is undoubtedly a great
artist. and that she and her family rep
resent immense influence in the COM

making his first public appearance at
this concert would tend to greatly in
crease interest and sale of tickets, at the
same time II would be impossible to Sc
cure the granting OF her request, as the
Boston Symphony orchestra never plays
with any plano soloist while en- tour, and
the retailers are absolutely powerless to
help her at this time, as DR.. Carl Muck

We should have a closer spirit
Of cooperation between the farm
ers Of this community, and then
between the farmers and the towns
men, and we know Of no better
way to accomplish this desired re-
suit than to organize kind Of
"Get Together Club" the member
ship TO be free and composed of all
who may wish to affiliate.
Once formed, such club could
hold meetings about once each
month at which subjects affecting
the welfare Of the community
could be discussed, newly tried
methods of production reported
upon, and plains laid for the gen
eral improvement of local oondi-
tons.
Then there could be a general
fraternizing between the farmer and
the townsman, with the result that
a closer understanding and appre-
citation of the one for the other
would be developed, and all could
unite in a determined movement
for the advancement Of the social,
commercial and financial interests
of all of the people.
There is no question but such an
organization would be of inestimable
value to the community when prop
erly and energetically conducted.
The question is, though, have we
three or four leading and aggressive
citizens from farm and town who
will take the initiative in the
launching of such a movement
If they will come forward we will
place the columns of this paper at
their disposal and write our own

bers.

unless we first make the start.

CROP REPORT

The crop report for November is
a few days late purposely in order
that the farmers might have time
to shuck enough Of their corn to
get definite idea as to the yield
and also to complete the seeding
of the wheat crop for the coming
year. Weather conditions for the
last month have been very favor
able both for husking and for
seeding wheat. Pastures have re-
NAMED good. The entire fan
throughout the state has been un-
usually satisfactory from wealth
er standpoint.
The final yield of the corn crop
in Kentucky is estimated at 2S
bushels per acre; this is 3 bushels
per acre less than the preliminary
estimate. Husking has revealed
the fact that there was an unusual
number of barren stalks in the corn
fields in many section believed to
be due to lack of proper pollina-
ton. This condition is attributable
to the excessive rainfall during
the silking and tasseling period.
The preliminary estimate of this
Department of 81 bushels per acre
was also the estimate of the Fed
eral Governments October report.
The final reported yield shows that
Kentucky has one of the largest
corn crops that it ever produced.
The preliminary report of Burley
tobacco shows a yield of 84l
pounds per acre, and the final es.
innate is 1922 pounds per acre. OF
dark tobacco, preliminary estimate
was S74 pounds, while the final
estimate is given at S61 pounds.
The final yield of hemp is esti-
mated at 1,O62 pounds per acre.
The acreage of hemp this year is
much larger than usual, and the
price is high owing to the increas-
ed demand for American hemp as
a substitute for fibres heretofore
obtained in Europe.
The potato crop is a splendid
one. Variation in yield is great,
from so to 800 bushels
per acre, but the average shows
Ito bushels of Irish potatoes and
81 sweet potatoes produced per
acre.
The acreage Of the wheat crop
for the coming year is given at
81, as compared with 90 for last
year and 91.5 in 1918. The con-
iition Of wheat is given at 90.
