count of weather being a little too dry, but
still no damage yet to amount to any
thing.
SrRoNsBuRe, Neb., June 2s-The acreage of
crops is the same as reported in May lGst.
small grain is making a splendid growth.
The present hot weather is OF great benefit
to the corn, which now promises 20 be a fine
crop.
r%AP1LLIoS, Neo., June 90 Corn is a little
late, owing to extreme cold weather in early
spring, but the stand was never better, and
recent warm weather and abundance of
moisture have brought it forward very rap
idly. Rye was never better, and will soon
be ready to harvest. The prospects for oats
could not be better, and from the present
outlook the yield will be enormous Very
little barley is sown in this vicinity. Wheat
is only raised on a very small scale, but what
there is looks well.
ATKINSON, Neo., June % We have plenty
of rain in Holt county this season. Crops
encouraged. Acreage of corn is about 30 per
cent greater than last year. Wheat and oats
about the same.
NORFOLK, Neb, June 23.-Corn is very
backward, but is of good color on the high
lands, while weak and sickly looking on the
low and wet lands. About % per cent of IL
had to be rGplanted, Small grains are look
ing well and the season is favorable for n
heavy hay crop. There will be a fair crop
Of raspberries and strawberries. There will
be an increase in cultivated acres, but not as
much as there would have been but for the
cold and the wet. Some plowed land will
lie fallow. Considerable ground intended
for corn, owing to the lateness of the season,
is being sown TO oats and millet. Corn plant
ing is not yet finished.
FAIRFIELD, Neb., June 23.-The acreage of
corn IN this vicinity is at least - per cent
greater than last year. Although most of it
was planted late tits coming on wonderfully
and there is every prospect that the crop
will be abundant. Small grain, especially
spring wheat and oats, is looking fine,
acreage about the same as last year. If the
season continues favorable we will nave the
most bountiful harvest of many years.
ST.. EDWARD, Neb., June 23.-Crop pros
poets fine, weather favorable and everything
so far points to good crops. Acreage slightly
above the average in all kinds of grain.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Neb,, June 23.-Crops are
looking remarkably w2ll, Al there is lack
ing is the tree and the snake to make it the
Garden Of Eden.
RusuviLLE, Neb., June 23.-Al kinds of
crops in this vicinity are looking as well as
could be desired. Small grain is well adj
vanced, and an unusually large yield is prom
ised. Many farmers claim that %"lcaV apaa
shall fall before harvest. Corn was for
awhile not doing well, but since the continued
warm weather set in there has been a marked
change for the bette. In many places, how
ever, the stand is poor, as the seed rotted in
the ground.
VALLEY, Neb., Tune 23.-Thc acreage of
corn and small grain is a little more than it
was last year. The stand for small grain
was never better, and the farmers expect a
good yield. Owing to the lateness of the
season the pre- sent outlook for corn is quite
uufavorable. The stand is very fair, but it
is just beginni ng to grow, and much must de-
pend upon the after part of the season.
U,,n.D,rr, Nab JrpnOo Ootc nra loolipo
well. No wheat to speak of here. Corn is
growing very rapidly, is a good stand and in
good condition. There is quite an increase
in the acreage over last years planting.
TILpEN, Neb., June 23.-The cool, wet
weather seriously affected and interfered
with the corn crop, mscl of which had to be
replanted, but the past ten days have bright
ened the prospect and n good season will pro-
duce a good yield yet. There is about ID per
cent increase IN acreagei in corn and oats, and
a like decrease in wheat. The heavy rains
washed out many fields of planted corn.
HARRINGTON, Neb., June pa week of
fine summer has wonderfully pushed for
ward farm work and vegetation. In "a cir
cult of 300 miles this week found grass and
small grain in fine condition, color good and
well started; rye bearded and of good
height. The bottoms on the Elkhorn are in
the poorest condition for corn, as much has
been overtlowed so long and is still very
wet. Corn is, on the rolling lands, in good

doing well and an unusual acreage is planted.
Northern Nebraska is in Il most promising
condition.
TAYLOR, Neb., June 23-Small grain of all
kinds is looking well. Corn is a good stand,
but small, owing to the late planting,
on account of the cold weather and heavy
rains curing April, and up to May 10. The
warm weather for the last few days has
pushed corn very rapidly. TIL acreage OF
small grain is 20 per cent larger, and of corn
25 per cent over last season.
WAYNE, Neb., June 23.-Small grains OF
all kinds is in fine condition, and the yield
promises TO be unusually large except IN a
small area along the bayou, where it has
been drowned out. For corn the prospect is
not so good. TIL continuous rains during
May greatly retarded planting, and the cold
weather caused much of the seed to rot,
making r~eplanting necessary, and the
''stand'' is not as good as usual. The warm
weather OF the past week has pushed corn
ahead very rapidly, and with a continuation
of it the crop will yet be n good one. The
increase in acreage will probably more than
make up for the decrease III yield from last
years immense crop.
HENDLEY, Neb., June 23-The outlook fol
crops of all kinds was never as promising in
the history OF Furnas county. The frequent

past is pushing crops along at a rapid rate,
Farmers are full of hope and already arc
preparing their granaries for the harvest.

FULLERTON, Neb., June 23.-The outlool
for small grain is good, Corn is a little
backward on account of the extremely late
