NEBRASKA CORN CROP IN DANGER
UNLESS RAIN SPEEDILY FALLS PRoDUC-
TON WILL BE SMALL.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBusE.I

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.I
Omaha, July 1.-THE corn crop of Nebraska
is in a critical condition at present and every
thing points to disaster TO IT, Little rain has
fallen in the State in the last ten days, and In
that time the heat has been intense Had this
condition occurred two weeks later the crop
would have been ruined, because within two
weeks the corn Of the State will be tasselling.
There is therefore a chance that the present
damage may not be irreparable. The acreage
OF the State is 100000. and up to the time hot
winds began TO blow two weeks ago the yield
estimated at 800. 100000 bushels At that
time the condition was first class. Now 1t is
conceded the crop has been damaged from 10
to 20 per cent.
II rain does not come to the relief Of the curl
ing leaves of corn within the next forty-eight
hours the crop will be shortened one half IL
moisture is delayed from four days to week
there will be little produced In Nebraska
this year. in spite of the magnificent prospects
of few weeks ago. The mercury has stood at
weeks Part of that time hot winds prevailed
but while the heat has been intense for the last
week, no hot winds have blown II is these hot
winds that do the most damage, they blow
the soil away from the roots Of the corn. while
the moisture is taken out of everything
The corn crop would already have been
doomed beyond repair had it not been for the
fact that in June. up to the 18th, a great
deal OF rain fell. Eastern commission men and
railroad managers have been telegraphng TO all
parts of the State for information on the situa-
ton. To-day local grain men buying corn
heavily on the theory that the Nebraska crop is
in critical condition. Rains predicted yester-
day and to-day for Nebraska have failed to ma
terialize.' The State crop Is heavier than usual
because the high price Of corn this spring caused
farmers TO use wheat land for corn planting in
many parts of the State.
