Products.

The quality OF corn in Nebraska is being
settled by the dry. warm weather the state
has been having for the last week. the
quantity having been settled before, ac-
cordng to the crop and soil report Of the

Wym0re division Is given at 50 per cent of
the average crop, which is higher than any
previous estimate this year. The estimate
for the Lincoln division has been lowered
TO 100 per cent OF the average crop.
FAN plowing ana seeding has progressed
we'll and in some places the plowing is
finished and the seeding done. The ground
Is getting somewhat dry, so that little
more blowing or seeding will be done until
more rain falls.
The farmers OF Wyoming are busy thresh-
ing. with a good yield. oats threshing is
also still in progress. with cats turning out
well. Corn is reported in good condition
at all places where corn is grown, with a
good crop reported. Potatoes are nearly
all matured and digging has started and
there will be a large crop on all divisions.
The meadows and pastures are stin In
