Crop Prospects Excellent.
People OF Central Nebraska, as well as
those OF nearly all other sections Of the
state, report that conditions for big crops
were never better in thes last fifteen
years than they are now. Wheat and oats
have been damaged come, bur the harvest,
on account Of the increased acreage. es-
pecially OF wheat. is expected to be above
the average.
Norris Brown, deputy attorney general,
tells an graphic language OF the difficulties
soon to be experienced blythe farmers in
Buffalo county and surrounding territory.
Mr.. Brown passed Sunday at his home in
Kearney. but during the DAY talked with
numerous farmers and other authorities on
crops.
THE crops in Buffalo county will be so
big that we'll have TO go outside 20 hnd
land TO stack them on, said Mr.. Brown.
w never saw alfalfa so tail at this time
Of the year, nor in such good condition.
The oats are doing well and what wheat
there is in the county il in good condition.
If this weather keeps on a little while
longer every farm in Buffalo county and
surrounding territory will pay big divi-
dends."
