- West Point Republican.
Never since we have been q resi-
dent of North Nebraska have we

trees and busiest in h~loom.-Dakota
County Mail.
Mr.. r. Ashley and Mr., J.
Creagon, from the reservation, re-
port the Omahas to be very indus
trious this spring. Their wheat is
looking splendid; 800 acres of corr
almost planted, and the Indians
work without pay.-Burtonian.
This year bids fair to be the most
productive fruit year that We have
ever had Ia Nebraska. All kinds of
fruit will be in abundance; the fruit
trees are literally loaded down. Who
says that Nebraska Is not a fruit
State of the Observation-Disclosures
Press,
We only hear of slight damage
being done by grashoppers. There
may be a few who will suffer where
the pests deposited their eggs last
summer, but generally we have a
cheering prospect for a splendid
crop this summer.-BurtOnian.
Some one is raising four acres
Of strawberries this a on the
farm of Hon. VIM. McLennan,
south of this city. The plants are
now white with bloom and will
be blushing with the ripened
fruit.-Ne6rdska City Press.
The grasshoppers have made their
at places in this region,
and have already done considerable
damage; latest reports, however,
say that they are leaving or being
consumed by the large number of
plavsr which are i'm this county,
Fremont Herald.
The amount of grain sOwn will
excel that of last year by many
hundred bushels. There is also a
large number of hogs being prepared
for market. Taken i'm all we think
the farmers are preparing to reap
a harvest of greenbacks the
coming autumn, if there be no pre-
venting PrOvidence,-SeUQrd CCun-
81 Atlas.
Some of the farmers on the bot
lands are considerably behind
with cor planting, having
been kept back by the unusual
amount of rain. On the uplands
corn is about all in and doing splen-
while that which was plant
I'd early on the bottom lands is
looking full as well. Altogether
everything Is favorable for more
han an average crop of corn, and
small grain will be greatly in excess
any previous year.--Grand Island
Independent.
We have been through the coun-
ry i'm the vicinity of this city since
last issue, and noticed the crops
md talked with some of the farm
rs. There could not be a more ia
'Orable showing f0rimmense wheat
'rops this fall than there is at pres
mt; and Notwithstanding the back
ward spring, farmers generally have
heir corn in, and some is UP about
eady for the cultivatOr, and there
) no a apparent now why the
orn crop should not be as large as
sual. The weather now is very
avOrable for corn and all other
inds Of crops. Farmers appreciate
he situation and their hopes are
ig.-BrOuRriHe Adrertiser.
Farmers from all portions of this
ounty and south of the Platte all
I'll the same story, 1t Is to the
ffect that the prospect for large
rops of all kinds of farm produce ,
ouid not possibly be better than II
is. Corn is looking finely and
rowing rapidly, and In MANY
it Is up so far that c%ultiva-
on has already commenced. Wheat
$ just the appearance and is of the
ght color, height and thickness
ecessaFy to insure a large eron, at
ass 70 say the best Judges, Proba- {
y owing to the fac. that this es- D..
llent tuber has commanded an ex-
emely high price in this market
lring the past season, a larger
iantity of potatoes have been
anted than usual. The early 1
lrieties are all up and look well, q
I'd the indications are that new
will be plenty in this
arket in the latter part of next :

-ess.
Never since the settlement of our
ate, have We, at this a of the .
ar had a better prospect for a rich ]
Irvest. 1t was late in the spring
fore our farmers could get at their 81
'rk, but from the time the first
TOW was plowed, which was =
arly April, We have hardly had a .,
y but what they could work COM
'tably and to advantage, in putting
their crops.
