Corn in Parts of
Nebraska Suffers
FromLack of Rain
Condition of Crop in Main
Belt, HowcNer, Is Excellent,
Declares Bureau of
Estimates.

Lincoln, Aug. l,-While the con-
dition OF corn is excellent i'll the
main corn belt OF Nebraska. parts oI
the south central and western coun-
ties have suffered from a lack ol
moisture, according to the weekly
report of A. +. Anderson of the fed
cral bureau of crop estimates. lie
also says that much of the wheat in
the southeastern quarter has badly
blcachcd by rains and the test
weights are running low.
Although much OF the ccrn crop
is nearly made, all of the crop could
make use OF a heavy general rain,
the report states, to put on the
finishing touches Parts OF the
south central aud western counties
have suffered from drouth and the
damage ranges from slight to 50 per
cent. kearney, Phelps and Harlan
counties are reported badly dam
aged. Showers appear to have been
local in the southwestern and west
ern counties and considerable corn
is reported damaged there also.
Wheat Is Damaged.
The July rains damaged the I'M
threshed shock wheat i'll the south
eastern quarter of the state by
bleaching and lowering the test
weight. The quality OF wheat west
OF this section is generally excellent,
as there was less rain and much of
the wheat is cut with the header and
stacked. Many of the farmers are
now plowing for fall wheat.
The reports on oats vary. but the
report states that the yield may
equal the 10-year average. There
las been some damage to the grains
from rains. The reports on spring
wheat show further damage to that
crop from droutll.
Drouth Has Been Felt.
Reports on the potato crop are
being lowered slightly each week.
The harvest of the carly commercial
potato crop in the Kearney district
continues, but the drouth and high
temperatures make early picking
necessary to prevent injury to the
potatoes. Some parts of the dry
land commercial section in western
Nebraska need moisture.
Some of the cane and sudan grass
fields in Kearney and Phelps coun-
ties are badly burned, according to
the report, which states that when
such drouth-resisting crops are in
jured to that extent severe drouth
is indicated. The wheat stubble
fields there are not green with veg
citation as they are at Hastings and
Red Cloud. Flowing in Phelps !
county is rather difficult, due to the
dry, hard soil, the crop report states. !
