Mosquitoes, Harvest Hopes, and a Nebraska Raffle Debate
A letter notes heavy mosquitoes hindering outdoor time and praises aerial spraying elsewhere. It reports wheat yields around 24 bushels and forecasts a favorable fall harvest with a county fair planned for late July into August. The piece, attributed to J Hyde Sweet, argues Nebraskans should vote on statewide raffles via constitutional amendment, citing legal concerns for Nebraska promotions and urgingers to mobilize votes to end hypocrisy.
