Crops i'm Good Condition.
After receiving reports from every agent
in Nebraska Superintendent Reynolds Of
the Northwestern has gotten out sum-
mary showing the condition of the corn
crop of the state as he figures II on Sep
tembsr TO- On tho whole, Superintendent
Reynolds estimates the crop to be above
the average, but at the date Of the re-
ports there was very little corn entirely
out of the way OF frost. Everywhere he
concluded that the ground was In splen-
did condition and the crop making good
progress.
In the South Platte country Superin-
tendent Reynolds estimated that at the
date of the reports fully rs per cent of
the corn was beyond danger Of frost. The
remaining 75 per cent would require two
weeks Of warm weather to bring 1t to
maturity. In the Elkhorn valley section,
along the Albion line and from Long
Pine to Norfolk 20 per cent was out of
the way Of frost, but otherwise conditions
were similar as in South Platte country
From Winner east through the Bone
steel country 1t was estimated that 10
per cent was beyond danger of frost; e5
per cent would require one week and Is
per cent two weeks in which to mature.
The remaining Is per cent would be soft
corn under almost any condition.
The report shows plowing to be pro-
crossing in all sections and large acre
age Of winter wheat sown since the set
ting in OF the rains
Eighty per cent OF the hay crop has
been secured and is In the stack, only 3
per cent Of which has been injured by
the rain Potatoes everywhere are re-
ported a full to bumper crop and farmers
are digging them for shipment to Omaha
and elsewhere.
