The refreshing and cOpious rains

Cultivating corn is now in order.

The late rains brought potato

their arrival, are now feasting to

Colonel Patterson, who has just
turned from the Republican, reports
crops in that valley as abundant
and most promising. He says that
all along the valley they could not
be better. The "Great American

Elegant rains have been vOuch-
safed us so far this spring, and ma
terially aided the farmers in break
ing the prairie sod. Large lots Of
breaking are everywhere seen, and
the growing crops are looking splen-
did.-Loup City (&erman County,
Neus.
Corn looks well throughout the
county and the farmers have teams
busy cultivating it. Most of the
farmers have plOughed their corn
over once and are going through it
the second time. We predict for
Saunders county the largest crop
this year she has ever raised, if the
prospects keep a favorable for a
few weeks lOnger.-Ashldfad Times.
James 7. Kennedy brought us,
one day last week, two or three
stalks of corn that measured sixteen
inches in height, and says that he
has forty acres that will average as
good, We have had two or three
good showers since, and splendid
growing weather, and we would be
safe in saying that the whole field
will to-day average two feet tall
&arPy Sentinel.
Larger area sown to spring wheat
than last year, probably One-third
more. The crops at this time give
promise of a good yield. Oats
promise well. Very little fall wheat
sown, not enough worth reporting.
Not so large a breadth planted in
corn as In some years past. The
cold, backward spring has made
corn planting unusually late, and 1t
is yet too early to make any esti-
mate of what the crop will be.
Notwithstanding the high price
of seed potatoes, at least the usual
auantum of land has been devoted
to that edible. The late rains r
highly favorable, and unless the
bug, which has already made its
appearance in many fields, proves
very destructive, the early planting
gives promise of an abundant yield.
Small fruit, such as grapes, plums
and goOseberries, promise q good
yield, and every peach tree large
enough to bloom is literally loaded
down with peaches. - beatrice

Rain has been the order for the
past week. Vegetation is growing
rapidly. If nothing happens out of
the common course of events crops
will be excellent. Old potato grow
ers tell us that they lever saw bet
ter prospects for an abundant potato
crop than there is in this part of the
State now. No bugs have made
their appearance yet, and We notice
that large patches are already In
blossom. For all kinds of crops rain
and sunshine have come just in the
amount necessary to produce album

Crops are looking unusually well
for this time of year, in this part of
the State. Wheat looks especially
promising, and there is every indi-
cation of more than an average
crop. Unless some unseen event
transpires to prevent, Antelope
county will produce two bushels of
wheat where she has produced one
before. This fact is mainly owing,
of course, to the increased breadth
Of land sOwn. Corn hasgrOwn finely
the past week, as has vegetation of
all kinds. Taken upon the whole,
and the farmers have never had bet
ter prospects than those which BEEN
upon them, from out of what ap-
pears to be azure sky. We sincerely
wish that their fondest hopes may
he realized.-Odkdale (Antelope
Co.. Journal.
Never, probably, since the settle
ment of our county, have the crops
of all kinds, at this season of the
year, been i'm better condition or
promised q richer harvest. There
has been at least twice the amount
of wheat sOwn in the county this
season as in any previous one, and
should the season continue . favor
able as it is at present, the harvest
will be immense and the granaries
of our farmers filed to OyerfiOwing.
An unusually large amount Of corn
has also been planted, which is
everywhere doing finely, and the
most of it ready for the cultivator.
Owing to the scarcity, and conse-
quently high price of potatoes last
season. q larger quantity of them
have been planted this year than
