corn IS IN FINE SHAPE

After an Inspection.
MEADOWS ARE DRYING UP
official says that All the Talk About
the Crops Being Ruined IL Nom
sense aud Not 10 BE
Believed.

w. r. Cahlll, superintendent or the Ne
braska division of the Union Pacific, re-
turned from a trip from the western points
of his division Thursday. Mr. Cahill states
that the big talk about the Nebraska crops
being ruined or even hurt to any extent Is
not to be believed, as there are hopes for
the largest corn yield that the state ever
had. Small crops are only doing fairly
well, but the only thing that has really suf-
fered in his opinion along the lines OF the
Union Pacific are the hay fields and
Ipeadows
Crops all over the state looked to be
in fine shape to me and l think that an
average crop or larger will be harvested
this year There are indeed a few bad
places but the general run of the corn is
so good that this will be easily made up
Many people are surprised at the large
yield of wheat Nebraska had this year in
spite OF the bad weather. but the fact that
there was a greater acreage tnan usual
planted must be taken into consideration.
Potatoes are in good condition everywhere
and the sugar beet crop, although the dry
weather has been hard on it, will, with
the increased acreage, come up to the
average"
THE only damage that amounts to any
pastures and meadows and the shortness
of the hay crop. The recent rains have
done some good to the grass, but the nay
will be small In comparison to last year
More Rain Falls.
Rain fell again in Nebraska Wednesday
night, heavy downpours having been re-
ported in several places out in the state
and in the southern part Of South Dakota
This, with the showers the first part OF
the week, ought to be sufficient for the
corn for a week or ten days.
From Long Pine to Nickerson and from
Gordon to Ainsworth, on the Northwestern
road, heavy rains fell, and also west OF
Fremont at several points. on the Bone
steel and Albion lines and at Belle Fourche
s. D.. fairly heavy showers were felt dur.

Bassett.
On the Union Pacific an inch of rain
fell at Grand Island continuing as fai
east as Schuyler with heavy rains on the

Burlington line. and various quantities
from a half inch to one and one-half
