and much of the corn has been Laid by' by
the cultivators. The remainder is doing
very nicely.
BEEMER, Neb., June 29.-Wheat on new
ground in Cunning county looks we'll and
will be a big crop, but on old ground wheat
and oats are light. Corn at this time of the
year has never looked better, and from the
present outlook corn will be an immense
crop. The increase on acreage is almost
two-thlrds. In this township alone over
two thousand acres are being broken and a
large portion of it is being put in flax. The
apple crop looks better than it has for years.
Vegetables of all kinds look well.

any crop heretofore raised in our county.

appearances now not only the acreage but
the yield per acre OF crops in Lincoln county
