BEE During the latter part of last summer
and the entire fall, the Platte river was very
low; and during the winter and early spring
of this year, almost waterlcss in this local
ity. This fact gave rise to the most doleful
predictions among the ''oldest inhabitants,' -
and especially among the weather prophets.
They asserted that this spring would be a
dry one, and that crops would be a certain
failure for want of rain. This foreboding
has not been realized, for the contrary has
occurred We have had timely and abundant
rains, and the conditions for the planting and
growth of grains and grasses have never been
better with us. The acreage sown to wheat
is increased over last year, while corn re-
mains about the same.
