sentiment among Nebraska farmers
Is to hold their wheat until the 50
mark is reached. according to reports
at the office of the secretary of agri-

grain, probably due to the low mar
ket rather than a binding agreement

COAL EASILY PROVED VALUE
Why Wood.BurnIng Locomotives Were

OF the Country.

The DAYS of the woodworking loco
motive were practically numbered as
a result of experiments made about
sixty years ago on the Providence X
Worcester railroad. For twenty years
and more transportation on land had
been undergoing great change with
the building of a number Of railroads
In the eastern section Of the country,
and wood had been used exclusively
as a steam generator. The officials OF
the New England railroad were salts
fed that they had not only secured a
good substitute for the old.tlme and
unsatisfactory method Of hauling
trains, but they proved their conten'
ton by placing a wood'burner and q
new engine fitted with boiler adapted
to the use Of coal at work under iden'
tical conditions. II was found that
the saving In fuel in favor Of the coal
burning engine In eight days was Sl63
Then 1t was figured that for yeal
