The soil, weather and crop report Of the

Sunday and Monday in the southern sec

Atchison, Ruio. Brownville, Nebraska City,
Table Rock and Tecumseh, with scattering
rains on the McCook division as far west
as Arapahoe. The report says:
Generally speaking soil. conditions are
fairly satisfactory The ground Is rather
dry on the Lincoln division in the vicinity
of Sargent and Burwell northwest Of
Aurora, and on the Wymore division rain
would be acceptable in most places be-
tween Atchison and Nebraska city, also
on the Concordia branch. On the McCook
division there Is more or less need of
moisture on the main line from oxford
