western part of Nebraska has pros.
pered in recent years and he thinks
there is more moisture and more and
better crops In the sand hills" than
| In the early days. His theory IL that
the absence OF any prairie fires has
allowed the ground to be covered
with grass which has had tendency
to hold the moisture. Corn In Ne.
braska is good this year but late. II
is now practically out of tho way OF
Injury and will make good crop.
