HASTINGS, Neb., July lO.-Prospects for
small grains very discOuraging. Wheat very
short rye ditto barley ,d6 far oats VIII make axe
last rain was June 2G. 1t did not extend
very generally throughout the country.
Ram now would help oats and corn. Corn
is in good condition.
BURT COUNTY.
OAKLAND. Neb., July lU.-We have had no
ram OF any, consequence since. corn was
planted. The. early corn is suffer
ing most, and viii make nothing to
speak Of If rain does not rain soon
there will not be an average crop. Early rain
will bring the late corn out all right. Wheat
will not average more than seven bushels III
this vicinity; many fields will not be cut at
all. Late potatoes will not amount to any
thing. From the present outlook farmers are
feeling badly. An increased acreage of corn
was planted this year.
PENpER, Neb., July lO--The weather for
the past ten days has been unqual itiedly hot.
The early corn and flax are safe, but unless
rain comes soon the latter crops VIII fail.
Harvest has commenced.
BROWN COUNTY.
LoNG PINE, Neb:, July l0.-rhe wind has
been from the southwest for nine days past.
and as a consequence it has improved the
wheat and oat crop The wheat crop was eX-
acre, but on account of the warm, dry wea-
ther the average won't be over seventeen per
acre. Corn is not improved. The farmers
are not discouraged at the present prospect,
that everything will revive again and that the
loss will scarcely be felt.
ArNswoRru, Neb., July 1o.-Early, wheat
Is not affected by the dry weather, but late
wheat is not filling out well at the top OF the
head. Barley and rye are ready for harvest
and heavy, not effected by dry weather Oats
are about an average crop. but would have
been much heavier If 1t had rained a week
ground is not affected yet. Corn is in splen.
did condition. The dry spell has continued
two weeks. Nothing is affected as, yet eX-
cept crops on poor SOIL or soil poorly cult
vated. An abundance of rain within week
would bring the crops out all right II looks
now as though we would gets0 per cent of an
average, Farmers are generally hopeful.
The outlook is not discouraging.
CoLFAX COUNTY.
SCHUYLER, Neb., July 10. We have had
no rain since the eth of June. During most
OF this time hot southwest wind has pre-
vailed. Wheat will not be more than a half
spring. Oats will be light in quality, if not
short in quantity. The corn crop as yet is not
materially injured except, perhaps, the late
planting. A good rain within week will
bring it out considerably Potatoes will be a
short crop Gardens are suffering severely.
CLAY COUNTY.
EDGAR, July 1O.-Smpll grain has suffered
