The zenith of modern oratory is reached
in keynote speeches. No one can read with
calmness the two keynote speeches recently
delivered before the republicans and the dem
ocrats without recognizing how clevery
mere words were juggled to create mob
passion. The pity is that the more successful
the keynote speeches are the lower the level
reached by succeeding speakers.

The allied debts to the United States will
not be topic at the London conference, and
for a reason. The allies want the United
States to participate in as great degree as
possible and a discussion of the obligations,
with suggestions made that they be cancell-

Sam to keep his representatives away from

Nebraska's annual per capita pro

Is greater than that of any other
state in the Union. and Nebraska IS
annual surplus production per capita
is far in excess of any other state.
Only seven states exceed Nebraska
in total production OF soil products.
and only eight states excel Nebraska
in total value of meats and soil
products. This. too. despite the fact
that Nebraska is smaller in popula.
ton than any of the eight excelling
in total production.
Without intent to disparage neigh
boring states, all of those mentioned
being wonderfully productiv. the fol.
lowing comparative statistics will
plainly show not only Nebraska s
productivity, but her possibilities, the
statistics being the latest available:

Nebraska is pre-eminently a live.
stock producing state. No other
state produces more beef and pork
and few are within seeing distance in
this respect. A few years ago the
cattlemen OF Nebraska were broke
They had loaded up on the high-priced
feeders. only to find the cattle mar.
ket shot to pieces. Hundreds of them
went broke. and none OF them made
nloney. On the contrary all lost
heavily. II has taken three years
for the cattlemen OF Nebraska TO re.
cover appreciably. Few of them have
been able to get even after the dis
astrous experience Immediately fol

are on their way. and today the cat

grade. many OF the feeders have re-
couped their losses. and an appre-
cisble number have accomplished
More. Today the ranges OF Nebraska
are covered with steers fattening for
A market that is getting better with
each succeeding day.
What is true of cattle Is equally
true of hogs. There is no discount
ing the fact that the hog raiser has
been up against a hard game during
the last six months. He has been
compelled to feed hgh.priced corn 10
low priced hogs. He has seen the
corn constantly appreciating In price.
while the hog market remained low.
During the last few months many
hogs have been rushed to market and
sold at loss. But let no one think
for minute that there are no hogs
left upon the farms OF Nebra ska. Nor
should 1t be understood that corn Is
the only thing that will condition
young hogs. Nebraska is wonderful

the fact that these young pigs will be

900 head, and the average price 1901.
An increase of $4,000 head and an
average increase in price of SO cents
per hundred pounds means thousands
of dollars more for the cattle feeders
| of Nebraska.
During the first seven months or
1924 the hog receipts at the Omaha
stockyards were 2,6S5,0 head. and
the average price for the seven
months was 1918. The receipts for
the first seven months of 1923 were
l2.41S 900 head. and the average price
for the seven months was 1892. The
increase of 1924 over the same same
period of 1928 was 267.000 head. AL
| though the 1924 average price was a
| bit lower than for the same period OF
| the previous year. the total payment
| to hog rafsers was considerably
more.
There is one feature of the hog
raising business that Is overlooked
| by many people. The cattle feeder
usually has to borrow money TO buy
| feeders, and when his steers are mar
keted he has to divide his receipts
with his banker.
But the hog raiser very seldom has
to borrow money to buy hogs. First
lly. It Is difficult to borrow money on
hogs because of the danger Of total
loss. Secondly. the hog raiser raises
his own feeders" And when he
markets his hogs and gets his money
he does. not have to divide It with the
banker or money lender. The money
| Is all his.
$500 a Carload.
During the last month the hog mar

that the hog shipper has realized
approximatly $500 a carload more
than he did the month previous, OF

From this postulate it Is easy to
show Nebraska's commanding posi-
ton. Countries and sections of coun.
tries dependent upon one crop cannot
command the measure of prosperity
that Is at the command of countries
and sections capable of producing
two crops in surplus. Nor can either
the one or two-crop countries COM
mand the same measure of prosperity
that Is at the command of the eoun-
try or section capable of producing in
surplus three Of these world staples.
There is no considerable area any
where on the globe that is producing
in surplus three of these world
staples.
Surplus In Nebraska.
There is no considerable area any
where on the globe that is produc.
ing in surplus all five of the staples
above mentioned. Confining our
selves to the North American conti-
nent it may be stated as an incon-
trovertible fact that Nebraska is the
only considerable area, and the only

Cotton alone of the five Is not pro-
duced in surplus in Nebraska.
There may be those who will
contend that Nebraska is not wool

they are not acquainted with the
facts. There Is enough wool shorn
from the backs Of sheep raised and
fed IN Nebraska to furnish more than
enough material for the clothing Of
every man. woman and child in the

even more secure in this position.
From every corn producing Sec
ton OF the state lomes the
cheering word that corn. after a
late start, has been favored by
unusually good growing weather. The
corn Is rooted deep. the stalk is
unusually strong. and a crop that
was averaging TWO weeks late on July
is almost normal In progress on
August 1, and above the average In

ton that Nebraska's 1924 corn crop
will be the most valuable In It's his.
tory, again excepting the peak prices
of the war. Measured by purchas-
Ing power It will compare favorably
with the big war crop.
The wheat crop of Nebraska is
already made. There Is no longer
any guesswork about 1t. With the
possible exception of two other years,
this years crop Is the greatest in the
states history in point of bushels.
With the exception of the peak Of
wartime prices the 1924 crop will be
worth more real money than any
other years crop.
The same gladstone story Is being
told of other crops than corn and
wheat. The sugar beet crop OF the
irrigated section promises to be the
largest In tonnage in the history or
the industry. The potato crop will
be equal to the average of the 1O-year
period. The fruit crop will more than
likely exceed the average Of the To-
year period.
Gains I'm Butter.
There are more cows being milked
in Nebraska today than ever before.
therefore more butter manufactured.
The development of the dairy indus
try In Nebraska during the last two
years has been little short of phe-
nomenal.
Nor should we fail to take Biddy
Hen into account. She is entitled to
far more consideration than has here
'tofore been given her. In this good
year of 1924 her eggs and her prog
eny will bring to the farm women OF
Nebraska something like s35, 100000.
The egg and chicken money used to
be considered the farm wife's pin
money. 1t is far more than that
now. 1t has become one Of the vital
factors in the progress and prosper
Ity of the Nebraska farm.
The situation In Nebraska, from
the standpoint of crop production,
may readily be seen by a comparison
between the crop production of 1928
and the estimated production OF 1924.
