GOOD YEAR FOR NEBRASKA
STATE LABOR BUREAU EsTI-
MATES TIE YIELD OF CoRN AT
2O7, 1895 BUSHELS.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal -
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.-THE four
chief Nebraska crops this year, accord
ing to the estimates of the state labor
bureau, will average as follows: Corn
207,7l8,965 bushels; wheat, 41,23O,OOC
bushels; oats, 100000 bushels, and
rye, 1852 900 bushels. Oats and corn
will exceed the estimate by fully PEI
cent. Wheat falls below the usual aver
age, but the other crops were all first
class.
More peaches were raised in Ne
braska this season than ever before, and
the same is true in regard to almost
all kinds of fruit. Sugar beets die
especially well, and hay was plentiful
and of good quality.
In 1908 the value Of the wheat crop
was $36,618,516. The oats sold fol
$21, $40, 1884, and the value Of corr
amounted to $86,S36.539. The tota
value Of the four principal crops wa!
$148, 048,045. This averaged $l37. AZ
per capita for the entire state.
The cash value of the state is ap
proximated by the labor commissions
at $2,000,000,0 -.
