Corn Is Earring Heavily but Making SLOW
Progress
In the weekly summary Of Section
Director L%oveland. issued September I.
especial emphasis is laid on the need
OF warm, dry weather for corn. II is
earring heavily. but making slow prog
ress towards maturity. He says:
The past week has been cold, wet
and rather unfavorable for crops. The
mean daily temperature has averaged
3 degrees below normal In eastern and
northern counties and 2 degrees below
in southwestern counties.
The rainfall has been above normal
in all districts and very heavy in most
parts of the state. The region OF heav-
lest rainfall was the eastern half OF the
state Just north OF the Platte river.
where is ranged from three to nine
nches.
Very little progress was made with
hreshing during the week and some
rain in shock and a little I'm stack
,as injured by the heavy rain. Haying
,lso was delayed and some hay injured.
IN the region of heaviest rainfall the
'ow lands were flooded and consider
able hay and grass damaged. Corn is
growing nicely, caring heavily, and
forming large ears, but has made very
slow progress toward maturity, and
warm. dry weather is much needed by
corn. Fall blowing has progressed
well. although in parts of the state the
ground was too wet much Of the week.
A few fields Of wheat have been sown,
with the ground in unusually good con-
dition. Pastures continue exception

South Dakota take all land north of
the present river channel, i'll disputed
territory.
The legislatures of the two states
will probably ratify this agreement.
and then 1t will be up to congress to
definitely settle the matter which has
given much grief to the two states.
Such a settlement would give to Me-
braska in dry seasons. when the Mis-
souri, Is within its banks. about 5000
acres of sandbar land. very little of
which is of any value in an agricul-
tural way. South Dakota would get a
lesser area of land, but more of it
would be tillable; a comparatively
small amount, however. something less
than 300 acres. II would settle the
court jurisdictions of the disputed
lands. however. an important point
which has caused both states consider
able annoyance.
The disputed land is in Union coun7
ty, South Dakota, and Dixon county,
Nebraska. Three years ago the river
left the main channel and cut its way
crookedly through land OF both sides
OF the old channel, leaving the land I'M
dispute. Nebraska claimed part OF tha
territory on the north side of the new

None of the land is particularly vaIu-
