Rain fell here last night and this forenoon.
The warm fall weather has enabled many
farmers to finish their cornhusking much
earlier this year than last The ther-
mometer has not been below 80 degrees
above zero this fall
WINSIDE, Neb., Nov. 21.-(Special.)-
After many weeks of unnterruptedly pleas
ant weather. rain is now falling. Farmers
have but just finished harvesting and storing
their small grain and not few of them
have a great deal Of corn in the fields. High
winds have broken the stalks down so that
much of the corn is on the ground; the
yield is not what was hoped when husking
began, as many fields which seemed likely
to yield fifty bushels per acre are only max
ing about thirty or thrtyfve bushels, but
the quality is beyond criticism and withsa
very fair price. AS there are so many feed
ing cattle here the result will be good. Last
year at this time regular winter weather
had begun month before this.
TRENTON, Neb., Nov. 21-(Special)-
The first rain that has fallen here for sew
eral months has been general over this

to hogs and cattle. The weekly shipment of
hcgs average two or three cars.
