bushels to the acre. Rye IS IN shock
and is goo1 and averages from twelve
to eighteen bushels per acre. Barley
is good. Grass is splendid, and there
never was a better prospect for a crop
I'M the valley.
CAMBRIDGE, July 1.-The wheat
will make half a crop and rye a full
crop. The prospects for corn and hay
were never better.
sARPY.
BELLEVUE, July $50 far as can
be ascertained, the rye crop in this
vicinity is good. Wheat and oats are
not good and are pretty weedy. Corn
is fair and is now gathering up. Re-
ports vary very much.
PAPTLLloN, July 1.-The late rains
have saved the crops of small grain,
and indications are that we shall get
about a three fourths of wheat and
oats. Corn is backward and very foul
with weeds Farmers estimate from
present appearances not over half a
crop.
LYONS, July 1.-The hay crop is
going to be about as usual. Some
kinds of wheat are looking well,
while others are very poor. Judging
from present appearances, 1t is not
thought that wheat will be hardly an
average crop. Oats look fair. Corn
that was planted early is good-sized,
but not a very good stand. That
which was planted late is looking well
and is a splendid stand, and with a
favorable fall will make a heavy crop.
TEKAMAH, July Corn is growing
rapidly; beyond all precedent. Some
varieties of wheat rushing, Others
good. Oats moderate. Potatoes very
promising. Grass better than any
year of the last eight. Should say
wheat three fourth crop, potatoes full
crop, grass extra in quantity and
quality.
DAVID CITY, July 1.-Since our
last reports crops are looking much
better. They will be the heaviest we
have ever had in the county. Wheat
is now looking well, seldom ever bet
ter. Some corr a little weedy, but
is looking well. Oats are booming. If
nothing befalls the crop between now
and the time to gather it in the whole
crop will be a success, including flax.
oTOE.
SYRACUSE, July l. Wheat 80 per
cent, rye S0,per cent, corn 80 per cent,
grass 100 per cent, potatoes 80 per
cent, gardens 80 per cent.
HAMILTON.
AURORA, July 1.-The prospects
for grain in Hamilton county at this
date are all that could be asked, for
the yield, no doubt, will be above the
average for the past five years. The
hay crop will also be good. Small
grain is looking well; corn also.
DAWSON.
ELM CREEK, July Wheat 30 per
cent, oats so per cent, rye 20 per
cent, barley % per cent, corn 70 per
cent, vegetables 30 per cent. Proba-
BILE yield per acre in bushels: Wheat
90, oats 30, rye %, barley 80, corn 40.
THAYER.
CARLETON, July 1.-Since the last
report there has been a severe wind
and hail storm in the southern por-
ton of Fillmore county, from north
west to southeast, about four or five
miles in midth, which has cut crops
very much in its course, but the
farmers say their corn is starting
again, and they think it will make
from one-third to one-half a crop.
Rye and wheat is badly damaged in
the northern part.
BEATRICE, July Fail wheat is
now being harvested, and will yield,
perhaps, a half a crop. Spring wheat
will be very light on account of ex-
cessive rains aud hot weather. Oats
are very fine, the yield will be better
than for several years previous. Corn
is promising well, and will prove, be-
yond a doubt, that Nebraska is a corn
country. Rye, acreage small but
the yield is large.
DOUGLAS.
FLORENCE, July 1.-The farmers
speak well of grain if good weather
continues. Corn is good and hay
extra good.
ADAMS.
KENEsAw, July Crops are look
ing fair. Can't tell just how they
will turn out, from the fact hat they
were got in late. Early sown wheat,
as a general thing, looks well, and
promises a good return. Early planted
corn is doing nicely, but as a rule the
seed was poor, therefore a poor stand.
But little oats are sown, but a splen-
did prospect. Potatoes fair, barley
fair, prairie hay big, but little tame
hay III the county and that thin.
MADISON.
MADISON, July Corn Is fine;
oats heavy; wheat, in SOM localities,
injured by chinch bugs, and in other
sections of the country bids fair for a
good crop. Hay is very heavy,
FRANKLIN.
RIvERToN, July 1.-The Republi-
can Valley has great eason to be
thankful for the present prospects.
T~his.season's crops of all descriptions,
and hay promises better than has been
seen for five years.
PAwNEE.
GUIDE Rock, July AT this date
the crops of all descriptions are very
promising here in the Republican
Valley. The hay crop promises a
large yield.
DAKOTA,
JACKSON, July Corn and wheat
below the average, but are improving
fast. Hay is verygood. The present
warm weather is having a good effect
on corn.
SALINE. .#
FRIEND, July Rye is being har-
vested, 1t will yield from fifteen to
twenty bushels. Barley promises a
