CONDITION OF NEBRASKA CROPS
Corn Is Growing Finely. but Rain Is
Needed in the Northwest.

Lincoln, Aug. 1G.-Stacking and
thrcshing has progressed well except
in a few southwestern counties, where
work was delayed by wet weather the
FIRST part of the week. Spring wheat
is mostly cut and the damage by rust
is generally considered small. Consid-
cradle grain Is still in the shock in
western and northern counties, while
IN central and southeastern counties
lt is mostly either stacked or thrcshed.
Corn has grown finely in most parts
of the state. II Is caring heavily,
with large stalks and promises a large
crop. In northeastern counties a lack
of moisture has caused the crop to be
less promising, and the high temper
azure Of last week injured corn in
small areas in a number Of northeast
ern counties, while rain would benefit
the crop generally in that part of the
state.
