NEWS OF NEBRASKA.
SUCCiNCT SUMMARY OF A
WEEKS EVENTS
Most Important Happenings Of the Past
Seven Days Briefly Mcntion-d-An Por-
tions OF the state Covercd-A Thorough
Resume of Nebraska News.
"wednesday. September ].

The official weather report issued by
the University of Nebraska shows that
the past week has been hot and dry,
with an excess of sunshine. The nv
erage daily temperature excess has
been about 5 degrees In the western
counties and from 10 to II degrees in
the eastern. The daily maximum tenn
peraturcs were generally above 30 de-
grecs and I'm many counties the daily
maximum was above 100 on several
days. The rainfall has been below
the normal, except in part of Richard
son and Clay counties, where local
thunder storms occurred, with II rain
fall exceeding an inch in small areas.
In most of the state no rain fell. The
weather of the past week has been
much like that Of the two preccd-
ing weeks, but the long continued
high temperature, with NJ almost en-
tire absence of rain. has caused the re-
suits of this weeks weather to be
more injurious TO agricultural inter
csts than that of the preceding weeks.
Corn has generally deterioratcd in
condition, and even In the northern
counties, where the rainfall has been
sufficient for the corn crop previous to
the past week, the corn is reported as
damaged somewhat during the past
week. The mount Of damage in this
section is v%ariously estimated, some
placing IL as high rs IS per cent md
some claiming little or no damage.
Much of the early planted corn has
dried out SO rapidly that it is hard
cned beyond injury by frost. Late
planted corn Is ripcned p~rematureiy,
and will bc II very short crop general
ly. Corn has r,pened so very rapidly
during the past three weeks that most
Of II will lie beyond injury by frost in
"a week or ten days. The past week
has been favorable for threshing and
haying. The Wild or native grass is
being cut for hay quite generally and
the crop varies from fair TO good, but
is above the average in most sections.
Little progress has been made in pillow
ing the past week because of the dry
condition of the soil. and for the same
reason very little fall grain has been
sown. Fall blowing is well advanced
being generally ut least two-thirds
done. Pastures have dried up badly.
and in some eastern counties stock in
the pastures Is furnished corn fod or
or other green food to supplement the
nnsturc.
