Lincoln, Neb., June 2S.-Nebraska' s
great annual wheat crop harvest has
begun. The largest wheat crop in the
states history is being gathered
such crop as the state did not even
dream of ten years ago.
Between 100000 and 74OOO,OO0
bushels Of winter wheat is the esti-
mate Of the states labor bureau
which also estimated that 1000 extra
farm hands were needed for the har-
vest.
Besides this, some spring wheat is
raised in the northern section Of the
state. but this amount is relatively
small and its harvest will begin in
two or three weeks.
The Hessian fly did some damage
this year as usual. but the pest was
only in certain sections and there
only in small spots. Less damage by
the Hessian fly was done this year
that last,
Hail also did slight damage, some
fields being completely devastated, but
this loss. too. was relatively small.
The wheat crop of Nebraska this
year, il is estimated. win exceed that
of last year by about 10000, 600 bush
els.

Rotterdam, May 2S.--(By mail -
The German government is regulating
the food supply for the poor but SO far
It has not taken in hand the control
OF food for the rich.
The many travellers from Germany
who gave their ideas of the German
food situation to me here all com
planned that the wonderful. scientific
food conservation scheme OF the Ger
mans broke down when 1t came to
dealing with the food OF the rich.
This is why there are food riots In
Germany Injustice exists and civil
ians Of German towns realize IT,
Poor people must stand In line for
hours before a meat shop, providing
they have five or six marks for d
pound Of meat, "said one German
met In Rotterdam.
Maybe the meat supply In the shop
viii hold out until their turn comes
IN the line and maybe It won't. But
rich people can hire a servant whose
sole duty is to stand in the meat line
every day, from o'clock in the morn
Ing until the days supply OF meat for
the rich mans household ID secur1..e
And even II the rich man'g servant
fails to buy meat, he and his family
can always 90 to hotel or restau-
rant and get meat on every day in the
week except Tuesday and Friday.
THE authorities may frown on 3
household going to restaurant every
day, but there Is no law against ii ana
II the householder doesn't want to be
criticized for doing this he has only to
go to different restaurant every day
and his unpatriotic practice viii not
be noticed"
The idea seems to be growing
among the middle and lower classes
IN Germany that the only fair way 10
deal with the food conservation plan
is to put all civilians on a ration basis.

tain quantity Of food every day and
each individual being sure Of rscelv.
ing the full quantity.
In a war like ours" said this Ger
man, who had socialistic leanings.
there ought to be no rich or poor.
Everybody ought to be on the same
basis and many Germans think it is
monstrous that the poor should suffer
more than the rich
we all feel that if the war goes
on every person. rich aud poor, ought
to be supplied with a daily ration tick

be certain Of receiving all the food

middle classes Of Ges.aan towns that
the government soup wagons pass
through the streets.
The restaurants and rich hotels OF
German cities where a man with mon
ey enough had only to 80 IN and ex.
press his desires in order to have
them fulfilled, became sources Of irri-
tation to German civilians.
The government therefore tried to
bring restaurant conditions to tha peo-
pie by establishing the food wagons.
In many households cooking is al
