Nebraska's State Equalization Board largely backed reductions to 92 of 93 counties, leaving Cheyenne County with higher valuations and a larger tax bill this year. The board cited an oil boom as a factor, while noting other counties lowered assessments to ease levy increases.
The Cheyenne County Memorial Hospital needs more money to finish equipment and furnishings and to cover initial operating capital. The board asks residents to assess their ability to contribute, stressing moral obligation and equal access to care, with pledges currently covering building costs but not gear or startup needs.
An editorial urges Cheyenne and Nebred wheat varieties for Cheyenne County growers. It notes these types bring better prices and premiums from millers due to high protein milling quality, urging farmers to follow expert endorsement for optimum returns.
Cheyenne County farmers are urged to save their best wheat samples for the annual Nebraska Wheat Show in Ogallala in October. Cheyenne is the top wheat grower in the state and should have more entries than any other county. Wheat from Cheyenne is good enough to win honors if growers select seed carefully for competition.
An old tale aside, farmers and ranchers are producing more efficiently than in the past due to work by themselves and by organizations involved in farm product production and sales.

The work hints at future industry changes.
Capitol action focused on state board of equalization adjusting real estate assessments in 59 of 93 counties. Some counties faced lower town lot valuations while others argued against blanket cuts. Douglas County avoided changes due to a scientific reappraisal by its TAB, prompting controversy over consistency and statewide equity.

A lighthearted note about traffic safety, ice cream drips, a Brooklyn bus delay caused by a cat, and Springsdale Ark faucet removals wrap into a fragmented, satirical clipping.
