Ny Shadow.

4 have little shadow that goes in
and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more
than | can see
He Is very, very like me, from the heels up
to the head
And ] see him jump before me when l jump
into my bed
The funniest thing about him is the way he
likes to grow
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an
India-rubber ball.
And he sometimes gets so little that there's
none of him at all.
One morning very early, before the sun was
up,
/ rose and found the shining dew on every
butter-cup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant
sleepy head,
Had stayed at home behind me, and was
fast asleep in bed

NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS
Rains of the Past Week Delay Farm
work, but some Corn Is
Planted.

LINCOLN, May 2.-(Special)-Th past
week has been cold. with a mean daily tenn
perature about l degree below the normal.
The rainfall has been above normal gen
orally and exceeded one inch in most coun-
ties and exceeded two inches in several
central and eastern counties
The rains of the week were beneficial to
vegetation generally. The wet condition OF
tho soil prevented work in the fields for
nearly half of the week. Flowing for corn
is nearly finished in central and southern
counties and is well advanced in northern.
A little corn was planted in southern coun-
ties, but the cold, wet condition of the soil
prevented much progress even in southern
counties.
Winter wheat continues in excellent con-
dition Oats have grown rather slowly. but
are recovering nicely from the effects of
the freezing weather. Grass continues to
grow slowly and is backward in northern
and northwestern counties. Fruit gener
ally is less damaged than was at first sup
posed. Apple trees are blossoming very
full in southeastern counties. and a few
peach blossoms have appeared.
The Burlington crop report just issued
shows that the country on the lines west
of the Missouri. and especially in Nebraska
is in most prosperous condition. 1t
rained nearly fve days last week in Ne
braska, the fall in the McCook division be-
ing from two to four inches. The soil is
in excellent condition and the streams and
reservoirs from which water is taken for
irrigation purposes are full. There was no
frost
The winter wheat showed good growth
during the week and nothing at all un-
favorable has so far developed. The ground
| is practically all prepared for corn and
some has been planted on the McCook divi-
sion and on the Concordia branch of the
| Wymore division, with prospects for a
| large planting this week
No sugar beets have been put in the
ground yet. but the ground is being pre-
pared, which indicates an increased acre
| age over last year. Alfalfa is beginning to
grow rapidly.
Oats are in excellent condition. Although
some were frosted by the cold snap of the
| week of April %, there was no material
| damage done.
The report says there is no prospect for
plums, peaches and apricots, but that the
prospects are good for apples, cherries and
small fruit.
The stock is not in as good condition as It
generally is and this is due to the continued
| cold in January.
In Wyoming there is considerable small
grain being planted and the acreage for
corn will be about the same as it was last
year.
! Cattle on the ranges are in good condition
and the sheep shearing in Wyoming and
Montana is now in progress and some wool
| is beginning to move, the slip being heavy.
At Stirling and on the Guernsey line there
is a large acreage of sugar beets being
planted.
