FAMILY LIVES IN
| CAVE IN HILL FOR
ALMOST s. YEARS
Fear Father. Mother and Three
Children Have Lost Their
Mentality.

ONeill, Aeb., Jan. 20.-(Speciai.) }
Emery Herrickof this city, said to
be close relative of former Gov
ernor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio. is
under surveillance and observation
as to his sanity. His wife, Ella,
and three children, two sons and one
daughter, have been committed to
tH State Hospital for the Insane
at Norfolk. ...... rs.
Three small children, two boys
and girl, have been taken from the
family and placed with friends and
relatives that they may have a
chance, and may not, through their
environment, eventually lose their
mentality. Of the original IS chill
dren of the Herricks three are dead
and four broke away from home to
do for themselves as soon as they
were big enough to do SO.
Herrick, who is 81 years of age,
came to this county from Cleve-
land, O., where two brothers reside,
IS years ago, and purchased a relin-
quishment on a homestead whiclr-:s
part of a~stock and hay ranch of
240 acres.
Several years after his arrival he
married talented young woman,
daughter of a neighbor. and took
her to live in a cave or dugout con-
structed in the side of hill on the
ranch. There the couple continued
to live until IS children were born,
aud in the silence and solitude Of
the then sparsely settled and cheer
less country the mentality of both
Herrick and his wife deteriorated
rapidly and they became possessed
of religious hallucinations. They
lived without furniture or other con-
veniences, sleeping upon sacks laid
on piles of prairie hay and ate their
food from the vessels in which it was
cooked Their raiment was any old
thing they could pick up.
Last fall the couple, with the three
little children and one of the older
sons, moved to town and took up
residence in. the loft of an abandoned
Implement building, where they were
found when neighbprs called the at
tention of the juvenile court and
other authorities to them.

NEBRASKA CORN
MADE AT LOSS,
S A Y FARMERS
Labor Biggest Item in Cost
No Method Yet Found
To Keep Up Fertility
Of. the Soil. a

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 20.-The corn
crop in Nebraska last year was pro-
duced at loss, according to speak
ers at the opening session OF the
Nebraska Corn 1mprovers' associa-
ton at the university farm Tuesday
morning. The meeting is part of the
org ganized agriculture sessions being
held this week.
PIX. Whelpton Of the college of
agriculture department of rural
economics presented figures to show
that the crop cost at least $l65 a
bushel, or more than market price,
and other speakers declared that his
cost figures were too low.
Land and Labor Cost.
The value of land was placed 4,
$3.50 an acre and allowed but 40
cents an hour for labor, under Mr..
Whelpton's figures. This drew criti-
cism from speakers, who declared
that goat" land could not be pur-
chased in southeastern Nebraska for
$3.50 an acre, let alone land that
would grow corn.
The cost of labor that grows corn
is much more than 40 cents an hour,
speakers said. Mr.. Adel of Sher-
man county said he paid SIS 4
month plus board. Just what the
price of board should be, speakers
could not agree. 1t was agreed that
it should be more than 81 aday. One
man said hired man will eat 81
worth of meat day.
Labor Biggest Item.
Labor is the biggest item in grow
ing corn, Mr.. Whelpton said. An
other big item is land. Mr.. Alden
declared it was mistake not to
figure the loss of soil fertility in the
cost of crop production. He de-
clared that no method has yet been
found to keep up the fertility of the
soil and that this is rapidly becom-
ing a very serious proposition.
Ernest Lindholm of Palmyra and
A. w. Sprick of Fontenelle spoke on
corn costs and the labor problem.
Farmers must solve the labor
problem by using larger machinery,
was the theory expounded BY
Charles ]. Warner of Waverly. "
Sheep Are Profitable.
Speakers at the opening session OF
the Nebraska Sheep Breeders ASST
ciation declared that sheep raising
is rapidly becoming one of the most
profitable stock growing operations.
No animal pays BETTER" President
w. E. Hewitt of the association
said.
Care and management of farm
focks was discussed->by Judge John
Reese of Broken Bow. .
