Schuyler, (COtatr County, Register.
For richness of soil and magni-
tude of crops, Hamilton county will
be hard to heat.-Grand Island
Times.
The growing crops between Paw
nee City and Marysville look SPLEEN
didly. The best corn we observed
was on Mission Creek.-RaWnee
Republican.
Farmers from the northwest part
of this county say the prospect for .
full wheat crop was never better.
And fruit trees of bearing age are
loaded with young ruit.-Brotcn-
rifle advertiser.
Crops in this section could not
look better, and although We hear
complaints of the devastatiOns OF
grasshoppers, yet in this county we
hear no general complaint although
i'm some sections they are to be
found. On the whole, u farmers
may look forth to the coming har-
vest with pleasure.-Dak0ta Mail.
A friend of ours from the country
reports that the potato bugs were on
hand early, and we're sitting around
on clods watching for the first vine
to make its appearance. They held
indignation meetings, and finally
"resOlved, that if those potato vines
do not appear within three days,
that we will proceed to dig them
up" The vines are up now and the
bugs are at 'em-"teeth and toe
nails."-Schuyler Register.
The farmers of Platte county
have good reasons to rejoice at the
present prospect of an abundant
harvest.
Quite a number of farmers last
spring sowed flax. This is a new
feature in farming in this county.
Such things evince enterprise in the
right direction. The parties who
have the flax growing, state that
the same is looking finely otum-
bus Journal,
1t is a subject of general remark
that comparatively but little corn is
being planted this year. The season
is OviOus. Last seasO We had an
unusually good crop of small grain
which found a ready market and
brought good prices. This year
nearly all our farmers are increasing
the area of small grain sown, at the
expense of the corn crop.-Fdirbouy
Jefferson County, Gazette.
The promise of fruitin this county
is very fiattering, peach trees es-
pecially being in good condition for
yielding abundantly. There will
also be a good showing of apples,
crabs, cherries and pears, if no acct
dent befalls the young fruit before
it reaches maturity. We do not
hear so much said of small fruits,
but about town the gooseberry, rasp-
berry and currant bushes are laden
with fruit.-Bcatrice (Gdge Co..
Express.
Crops of all kinds never in the
world looked more promising at
this season of the year than at pres
ent, and the acreage being much
larger than that of any previous
year.
E. H. Gilbert, living five miles
northeast of Grand Island, has forty
acres of the prettiest wheat to be
found in central Nebraska. 1t stood
sixteen inches high by actual meas
urement last Tuesday, and is just as
even on the ground as any wheat
possibly could be. While wheat all
around looks excellent, this is in
deed a ARE piece.-Grdnd Island
Independent.
This section of Nebraska is being
blessed with fine showers of rain
now, and the growing crops never
bid more fair for a bountiful yield
than at the present time. The farm
ers are all jubilant over the present
~~-nspects Of good crops, and their
- lnnk OF hands to Sc
only fear is the .~~ -
cure the harvest in time. l wouIu 4,
suggest that the farmers look after
this matter at once, and if the
country is short of hands for harvest,
lake immediate steps to secure
hem, and not let the grain go back
.nto the ground, as it did last year in
many instances.-Hebron (7hdyer
