will be replanted during the next twenty
days. Oats are doing SOM better than corn
but are also below the average. The acreage
is about the same as last season.
WHITMAN, Neb, Juue 23.-Three times as
much corn planted this as last wear. No
wheat planted. Prospects good.
PoScA, Neb., June 23.-Acreage about the

fields will not be in cG..3S,,ion to plant for at
least ten DAYS, with most favorable weather.
= NELL, Neb., June 23.-The proportion of
small grain will be much less than last year.
Inc corn crop, which is now all planted, will

acreage than ever before. Rain is abundant
and everything blooming.
HASTINGS, Neb., June 23.-The acreage of
corn planted in this section will surpdss that
OF last year fully 10 per cent Oats and
wheat have decreased about the same ratio.
The weather on the whole has been quite
favorable and the crop prospects were never
more Hattering at this season of the year. .
BERLIN, Neb., June 23.-Acreage of corn
increased 10 per cent over last year, acreage
of oats, IL per cent, and of wheat diminished
70 per cent. All small gram in fine condition.

fair stand on account Of cold weather and cut
worms.

of the corn is planted. Cold, wet weather in
terferfng with corn planting. No complaint
of corn not growing.
RED CLoUD, Neb., June 23.-One-half an
acreage wheat of last year, one-third more
oats, and one third more corn. Crops are
looking well. Corn is SLOW but good roots.
Wheat and winter rye never better.
PLUM CREEK, Neb., June 23.-The reports
of the assessor show that in 1857 there was
300 acres of wheat, 2L,OiO acres of corn,
1897 acres of oats. This year the acreage
is much larger, and as | have no figures |
will have to make al estimate: Wheat,
q, 800 acres; corn, 10000 acres: oats, 5000
acres. There will be a large number of acres
of sod corn planted. vet IN )st all of the old
ground has been planted. Prospect for large
crop very good, plenty of rain, and small
grain looks better than any spring since
1874.
SARGENT, Neb. June 29.-Corn is about
one-half planted, acreage will be about 20
~ per cent larger than last year. Acreage
OF oats about the same as last year.
Acreage OF wheat 10 per cent larger than last
year: 7aF.
BLUE HILL, Neb., tune 33.-The divine
promise of seed time and harvest bids fair
to be fully verified in this, the northern part
of Webster county. Corn planting is fully
finished with an increased acreage over last
year. Sinai grain showings indicate no
shortage in area, while the approving nod
with which the already prolific growth
greets the husbandman while being caressed
by the balmy southern breeze is calculated to
make glad the heart of the sturdy sons of
toll.
EDGAR, Neb. June 23.-Corn planting in this
part of Nebraska is late, being only just
about completed. The area, however. is
large. Fully 25 per cent more corn is planted
in Clay county this year than last. The
present outlook for a crop is good, as the
ground new er was in better condition.
MI, J,.n - D... l-rnz-
in Dundy county every day for three weeks,
and this once "Great American Desert'i is a
veritable frog pond. Corn IS looking extra
fine, and small grain, which was sown IN
February, is as good as made already. The
spring has been especially nropitious for
tree cuttings and tree seeds, which are all
coming in good shape. The 10000 acres of
|. broom corn IN this county promises an extra
yield.
GENEVA, Neb., June 23.-Acreage of wheat
about same as last year-fine condition.
More acreage of corn planted. Prospects
not as good as last year, not so forward.
DAVID CRY, Neb., June 23.-Reports from
all parts of the county say that the prospect
for all kinds of small grain never was better
at this season, there being an excellent stand
on the ground of all kinds, and prospecting
under the cool and wet weather of the
spring better than was anticipated. Corn
planting is done but very late, yet it is all
coming up and grows slowly. Wire worms
in some locations have damaged much of the
earliest planting, and some are obliged to re-
plant a considerable portion OF their ground
over on this account. The acreage of corn,
oats and potatoes throughout the county is
considerably larger than that of last year.
But very little wheat sown.
GRANT, Neb., June 23.-There has been al
most a continuous rainfall here since May l.,
supplemented last night by a vcritable flood
from the north and west, which, with the
previous rains, has wet the soil and sub soil
to a depth of from three to five feet. During
the past ten days farmers throughout the
southern part of the county have had TO
abandon their cornplanterS that were in use
on the cultivated ground and turn their at
tention to the breaking of sod for an addi-
tional crop of corn. Small grain looks well
and bsls fair to make a good crop.
BAssETT, Neb., June 23.-Have Travelled
over the country for three or four days and
find small grain looking exceedingly well.
Corn only backward on account of a little
more than the necessary average of rainfall,
but a few days of sunshine will bring it up
| to the average. The acreage is a little more
on all crops than last year; have seen clover
and blue grass knee high and as thick as it
could grow. This settles the long wonder
ing whether they would grow and do well
in this new county.
NoRDEN, Neb., June 23-The acreage of
corn planted this year is about double of that
planted last year. Small grain is about half
of last year. The condition of crops in tbs
neighborhood is good and the prospect, now,
for a big yield is excellent.
LOUP CITY, Neb., Juno 23.-The increase
in the acreage of wheat sown in this county
over that of last year is about 10 per cent.
No increase in rye or barley, while of corn
there is fully 80 per cent and of oats 35 per
cent. More breaking has been done than
ever before. The spring has been so cold
and wet that the farmers were fully three
weeks late getting crops into the ground
consequently corn is backward, especially
the early planted, but the present hot
weather and frequent showers is causing il
to grow rapidly and there seems to be
nothing which can prevent the largest crop
that has ever been harvested. There will be
a very large crop of oats also. The hot
weather seems to have destroyed the chintz
bug, so there is no danger to be feared from
that quarter. AS the water never islands
on the groundn in this valley, but is at once
absorbed, the heavy rains did no damage,
but on the contrary put the soil in such con,
dition that there is no fear from IA drouth and
we predict for this fall the largest crop that
has ever been Harvested in Sherman county.
ANsELMo, Neb., June 23,-Our crop pros
poets are certainly very tiattering, Our soil
stands drOuth or wet equally well We nave
never had a failure of crops. Emigrants
seeking lands are pouring in rapidly. Gun
new county took second premium at the state
fair last fall.
