Boomers of the farming lands of Ne- braska have hit on a novel means of ad- wertising the products of the soil to pos- sible investors. The State Business Men's Association proposes to send an exhibition of Nebraska's products Shrough the Eastern States on a special train. The farmers themselves are re- ported to have taken up the idea eagerly, and different counties are now vieing with each other to make the best show- ing. Each district is very jealous of the others, and its contributions are made with the understanding that they are to be devoted closely to its own advantage. The London Standard is doing a good duran for the Americas farmers by advo. cating the use of Indian corn in Europe. It says that America could export 400,. 000,000 bushels of corn, and that an ex- tra shilling per bushel would attract all that would be needed to supply Europe with wholesome, nutritious food. The beauty of this is that an extra shilling per bushel in the price of our corn ex- ports would correspondingly increase the value of the entire crop, which, ons crop of 2,000,000,000 bushels, would mean a gain of $500,000,000 to the farm. ers over present There is only one unpleasant feature of the outlook. The farmers use a good deal of their own corn, and if it went so high they might not be able to afford the expense. - There have been the usual complaints this season, says the New York Fost, that Bwitzerland is overrun with exsursion. ists, and is becoming more and more the resort of ‘‘cheap-trippers.” The cable brought news every day or two of some fatal accident, but the genuine mountain. climbers are said to be gradtally desert. ng their old haunts, few of which are sacred from the *‘tourist,” and prices, to be casting their eyes in the direction of the | Caucasus or the Himalayas.
