Nebraskans do not have to be informed on this point, yet there are many from the east, newcomers to the statc or county, who are interested in the early laws which exempted from taxation those who would plant sufficient trees. Sometimes they overdid it. At any rate, the easterner who gathered the impression that Nebraska is a treeless state will have to revise his conception of conditions as they now exist. Elms, maples, mostly of the soft variety, box elders and cottonwoods are some of the kinds most numerous. On some of the streets, which are not narrow by any means, the trees so nearly overlap each other as to make the effect most delightfu: on a hot day in summer. There are times, of course, when in a long storm there seems to be too much shade and dark- ness, but it is always easier to cut down a tree thar. it is to grow one. The population is estimated at nearly, if not quite, 14,000. The city is well lighte¢ by a whiteway system, inaugrated in 1910. The water comes from driven wells. It has a library, crected by Carnegie money in 1902 at a cost of more than $15,000, with a circulation of 40,153. It has a high school, erected about two years ago, in place of an old, at .. total cost of nearly $200,000. It has a college with an attendance of 1,800, a normal school, and business course being in- cluded; a Young Men's Christian as- sociaticn, which receatly paid a debt of $30,000; a mayor and eight coun- cilmen, the former republican and the latter democratc; only nine saloons, four having been arbitrarily elimi- nated within the last few months; four national banks, two savings banks and a trust company with a capital of nearly $700,000: one daily paper, The Tribune, republican, and The Weekly Herald, which is politi- cally a thorn in the side of its neigh- house says have the last year pre- vented the schools from accomplish- ing all that he had hoped for. In the neighboring lakes and in the Platte river, less than two miles away, there is plenty of good fishing and one does not have to go far from town to get game when in season. There are more than 1,800 automo- biles in Fremont. Protection against fire is afforded by a competent de- partment, embracing two of the lat- est kind of motor trucks. Cupid last year claimed more than 300 couples. There stilll survive about forty vet- eran soldiers, and among the inter- esting events of Memorial day was at Chancellorsville, and Dr. T.

A one-man outfit—one that is popular, One of the great considerations in thesuccessful operation of the une- man tractor outfit or in fact any sort of tractor is the efficiency of the plows. The ease and effectiveness of ioperation are the cardinal features, taken together with action of the plow when in the ground. The John Deere Plow company has given many years study and effort to the development of their tractor plows and the John Deere Pony Tractor Plow No. 3, otherwise known as the High and Level Lift, is in high favor with tractor manu- facturers and users. At Fremont this year many of the machines shown will be equipped with various plow bottoms put out by the John Deere company. With the High and Levc’ Lift, a slight pull John Deere Company’s Line It is now readily conceded that the brings the plows out of the ground small tractor plowing outfit is econo- | point first and lifts them al. high and | level—not merely the front plow, b | the rear plow lifts high us well.

The bottoms will n dig in the ground or gather trash iand clog up when turning at the end. It will not be necessary to get off | the tractor and pull trash from under | the point of the reag plow when mak- ing turns, because the rear plow lifts high. Likewise whenever it becom | ground the bottoms will clear and n cut furrows or ridgc immediately to the standard depth.

Tlis year, on account of the demand being so heavy it is impos- sible to get together at one time so many tractors for shipment. “The prediction that we made in { January is being verified. Every light tractor factory in existence or that waz in existence, will sell their entire output and the farmer is going to ask what tractor he can get instead of i deciding on what tractor he wants. We feel that this is going to prevent many farmers from getting the Bull tractor who have already decided inthat it is what they want.

[I'here are miles The fundamental facts which every farmer of today should know are the costs of operating the farm and the receipts and profits from each source on the farm by lessening the cost of labor of humans and horses. If these things are known it is certain that the farmer will increase his profits by labor costs.
