NEBRASKA SURE
DROUGHT IS OVER
Crop Conditions Are Best
Since '33 and Business
and Farmers Show It.
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., June 25.-Ne-
braska farmers and business men
looked upon green fields today as
marking return of normal agricul-
tural conditions after four years OF
severe drought.
Crop conditions generally, said
Arnold Nordquist, assistant Federal
State crop statistician, were better
at the beginning Of the summer sea-
son than any time since 1898.
On the eve of the wheat harvest
some authorities predicted the yield
would total nearly 100000 900 bushels
second largest on record.
Some areas reported damage from
rust. but as q whole it was not re-
garded as greater than usual.
While expressing optimism, M. B.
Stream, who operates a farm north
east Of York. said it would take sew
eral years of good crops to recover
from economic effects Of the drought.
Last year 1 didn't harvest any
corn" he said. Il got seven bushels
OF wheat to the acre and three-fourths
OF ton of alfalfa to the acre. am
sure OF at least four tons Of alfalfa
to the acre this year and I know nv
wheat will do better than last year"
]. r. McCloud, York banker, said:
I'VE always feel better when the fields
are green. Farmers hereabout would
rather have crops and low prices
than high prices and no crops. They
have to consider their livestock and
provide feed for them"
As evidence that the drought cycle
has ended, Mr.. McCloud said streams
and springs that have been dry At
this time of the year are flowing.
South of McCook, farmers were
cutting and binding wheat. In this
area yield predictions ranged from II
to 20 bushels to the acre after six
years Of failure. The larger stores
in McCook have been taking appli-
cations for extra clerks in anticipat ation
Of buying rush.
Assured Of q big hay crop and with
excellent corn prospects, farmers will
be in the market for feeder cattle
and hogs. Population of livestock,
which ordinarily provides the State
with 10 per cent OF its agricultural
income, is below normal because of
the iced shortage resulting from the
drought years.
On the whole, L. L. Zook. superin-
tendent OF the University Of Nebras-
ka Experimental Farm, near North
Platte, said the morale Of farmers
Is better than it has been for years.

Sheppard Committee Seeks
Rule to Determine undue
Influence
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
The Senate Campaign Investigating
Committee studied today the question
Of where legitimate political activity
by Federal officials ends and undue
influence" begins.
Chairman Sheppard pledged inves-
tigation of the circumstances of the
Endorsement Of any senatorial candi-
date by a Government official.
However, he said such Endorsements
were not necessarily evidence on their
face that the official was engaging in
undue" political activity.
Some rule of thumb" is needed
he said, to determine whether an
official is unduly influencing the
workers under him by stating his
preference for any candidate. He said
the committee was trying to work out
such rule, but that it was q formid-
able task
The committee chairman would not
discuss the possibility that Works
Progress Administrator Harry Hop
kins might be questioned about his
Endorsement Of Representative Wearin
in the Iowa Democratic primary.
Work on QUESTIONABLE to be ad-
dressed to all Senate candidates il
proceeding rapidly and the commit
tee probably will approve it finally Al
its next meeting. Tuesday, Senator
Sheppard said. As tentatively drafted,
the QUESTIONABLE will ask about SUD-
port given by officeholders.
Complaints received thus far by the
committee have been inconsequential
on their face, but additional informa-
ton on them will be sought, the Sen.
