NEBRASKA POTATORS | YIELD G0OD PROFIT l State Crop is Fine and Marketn Booms — General Short- [ age Elsewhere, K $1.60 BUSHEL '1'0 GROWERS | With the cnd of lhc present week, | the Nebraska potato harvest will| come to an end. While no figures are | available on the yield, it is known that it will be fully up to the normal, if not greater. It is asserted that the yield per acre has not been so great| as during some past years, but the in- creased acreage will bring the total yield up to that of any former year. Up in the potato growing section of the state—the northwest portion— farmers have been getting more for their potatoes than ever before. Also, on account of the recognized excel- lent quality of Nebraska potatoes, they have gone further from home than ever before. g Rushville , Alliance, llcmll\gfprd Chadron, Gordon and Hay Springs have come to be the gratest potato| shipping stations in the United States, and this year buyers from nearly every state in the union have been there bidding on the crop and com- peting sharply for the offerings. Up to and including October 24, these stations in Nebraska had sent out 1,554 carloads, or around 1,500,- 000 bushels. Of course there are a good many potatoes yet to move, but the bulk of the crop has gone for- ward, generally having been -bought by commission men. Net Profits Good. This year the potato crop has made the growers some good money. It is estimated that the yield has been in excess of 100 bushels per acre, and that the price has averaged in excess of $1 per bushel; delivered at the load- ing stations. In addition to this, these potatoes have been grown on land that has been fetching from $50 to $75 per acre. The early sales on potatoes did not net the growers $1 per bushel, yet there were not many sold at these prices. Soon after digging Nebraska potatoes commenced, it became ap- parent that generally, outside of this state, the crop was going to be short. ‘This fact stimulated the prices and the Nebraska potatoes commenced to advance, soon reaching $1 and better per bushel. At this time, at the Nebraska ship- ping stations in the northwestern art of the state, growers are getting glJS to $1.60 per bushel, and are eagerly sought after at even these prices. When the same potatoes get down into the consuming sections of the country, they sell freéfy ataround $2 and $2.25 per bushel, or 50 to 75 cents more per bushel than those from the 1rngnted sections further west. Nebraska Scldiers. Spend Summer in Breaking the Soil Harry Brookstein, 1836 North ('wenty-first street, well known news- boy here for fourtccn years, has re- turned from Llano Grande® camp on the Mexican border, where he spent the last four months brcakmg land, making “roads and serving eleven weeks "in_a hospital on account of malaria. He was a member of Com- pany, A, Fourth Nebraska Volunteers. Mr. Brookstein states that the work of the Young Men's Christian | association in the border military | camps has been one of great service. He said there are 18,000 soldiers in | camp at Llano Grande. The boys| spent a pleasant summer breaking '"i 2,000 acres of wild land. | “We were two weeks pumping the water out of the streets of the camp after the terrific hurricane storm in August,” said Mr. Brookstein. He said he has had enough of the border. Mrs. Ella S. Byrne Dies , At the Methodist Hospital\ Mrs. Ella S. Byrne, widow of the late William M.
