Probably no time in the history oAt
oe
of our town have there been such e
prepaiations for building as this
spring. Rock teams are seen on
all the streets , while even now the
carpenters' hammers are busy.
There is not a vacant house for o
rent in the town , although many u
have been built in the last few p
years. M. V. Nicholson , C. G. f !
Anderson and S. Moon contem
plate building residences , while
several others are undecided as yet.

The president talked today with
Congressman Dixon of Montana , ir
Martin of South Dakota in regard
to the opening to settlement of the u
Crow and Rosebud Indian reser
vations in Montana and South Dakota
si
kota , respectively. The presi
dent's views as to the value , of
these lands will result in a renova
tion of the prices fixed in the bills tc
authorizing the opening to settle
ment of portions of the reserva
tions. The Crow reservation bill
fixed 83 an acre as the price to be
paid for lands that could be irri-
w
gated. This will be increased to .
Stt , and the other lands will be
placed in the hands of the secre
tary of the interior to be disposed
of , and under such circumstances 0) )
as he sees fit. The price paid for S (
the" Rosebud lands will also be in
creased , and if the prices finally ai
fixed are satisfactory.to the president - ' 2 !
dent , he will sign the bills without T
insisting upon the lands being put tl
at auctkm WorJd-Herald ,
j Richard Osburn , a sturdy pionj
eer from down the river , called on
us yesterday while in town with a
:
load of corn and ordered THE
DEMOCRAT his brother-in-
I sent to - -
law , Joe Holsey , do. n in Clarks-
.ville , I. T. The editor has been
down in the Territory and knows
that there is lots of good soil down
there and that vegetation is unex
celled in some parts , but here's
the place to live.
Tests of a new variety of oats
are reported in Bulltin No. S2 of
the Nebraska Experiment Station.
These oats were imported by the
station from Russia in 1SOT , and
are called Kherson oats. The va
riety orignated in the Kherson
government in southern Russia.
The climatic conditions of that reg
ion are not such as arc favorable
to the production of oats. The av
erage yearly rainfall is only 10 in
ches , and the summers arc ex
tremely hot.
The Kherson oat is a vigorous
but not a rank grower. The
straw is very short ; the leaver are
broad and expose a large surface.
The berries are light yellow in col-
9r , small but numerous , and have
i very thin hulj. They mature
very early. X
This variety is peculiar ! . suited
to central and western Nebraska
3n account of its habits of growth.
In the spring of 1901 seed of
Kherson oats was sent out to a
number of persons in varions parts
> f the state to test. Two bushels
D | oa s were sent to each experi-
nenter and he was asked to thresh
.
ihe crop separately and to report.
,
he results. This was repeated in
L902 and 1903 as more seed became
ivailable. The results of the three
rears' tests are given in the bulle-
in. These show it to be peculiar ?
y suited to central and western
Nebraska. Although itusually
fields well in eastern Nebraska ,
.here are other varieties that in
he river counties , at least , com
pare favorably with it. AYest of
ihat , the tests that have been made
f it during the three years , indi-
ate that it is earlier , yields bct-
er ( and weighs heavier than any
ther variety , with the possible
exception of the Texas Red. It
ms steadily outyielded the Texas
Red on the Station farm.
