TIE CORN CROP.
Heat Does No Damage in Nebrnska--
Iknnsns Not So Lucky.


Omaha, Neb., Aug. 3.-Copious rains
have fallen all over Nebraska, putting
an end to the hottest period of weather
experienced in many years. The grain
operators of Kansas City, st. Louis. Chi
cago and the east have been wiring the
grain men of Nebraska to ascertain The
effect of the heat on the corn. Every
county has been heard from and not
one reports damage. In fact, all return
the most flattering reports of the corn
crop. So much so that the first esti-
mate of 300, 100000 bushels is now raised
to 350,000,000 bushels. The heavy, warm
winds have blown furiously over the
state for the past three days, with the
mercury as high as 112 in some locali-
ties, The corn has not shown any bad
effect. This is due to the great guam
tity of moisture previously deposited.
All the old corn held over from last year
through fear of crop failure this year
is now being released with a rush.
Farmers have 140, 100000 bushels of this
old grain and cannot get cars fast
enough to get it out.
Emporia, Kan. Aug. 3.-Hot winds IN
Lyon and adjoining counties have
dried and burned up everything in the
way of crops. Corn will not average a
bushel to the acre and is unfit for fod-
der. Cattlemen here are desperate, as
there is no pasture, and are rushing
cattle to market until there are not cars
enough to meet the demand. The apple
crop, which promised so well, has also
been destroyed within the past few
days. Even kaffir corn and cane are
shriveled up, but the farmers claim
they will recover with the first rain.
These and alfalfa are about all there is
nope for now.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 3.-Reports as
20 the condition of the corn crop in
Kansas and western Missouri continue
to be discouraging. Throughout the
district the weather continues scorch-
ing hot and nothing but soaking rain
can save the crop.
