GOVERNMENT REVIEW
OF CROP CONDITIONS
Nummary of Conditions am Made by
the Ituirau of Crop KtatLsUcs
September 1
Corn made some Improvement
during August but is quite uneven
throughout the state. The most ser
ious damage is confined to southern
counties. Fortunately, the acreage
Is less here than In other sections
and the effect on the total produc
tion will not be as large as it may
seem. Farther north the corn is bet
ter and much of it promises a good
yield. Some of the corn is quite late
and cannot withstand a killing frost
before the latter part of September.
The spring wheat in the north cen
tral and northwestern sections is
badly damaged by black rust. Much
of it will not be threshed. The re
maining spring wheat will make an
average crop.
Oats promise one of t lie largest
crops ever produced. They were
sown early and only a small percent
age was injured by drought. The
straw was shorter than usual and did
not lodge or get damaged from rust.
Potatoes promise a small crop.
The earliest potatoes were good but
late potatoes were badly dsmnged by
drought. The commercial districts
of the north and west sections are
not. promising.
Hay crops are yielding well. The
drought reduced the total production
of alfalfa but the prospects for a
fourth crop are good in many sec
tions. Clover was excellent. Wild
hay is quite good. The quality is
tine.
The apple crop is very short this
year. The heavy crop of last year,
some frost damage, and unfavorable
weather during the blossoming peri
od are given as causes for the low
condition. Grapes are yielding well.
The supply of stock hogs appears
to be larger than last year. The six
leading markets show increased re
ceipts for the first seven months that
range from 11.4 per cent to 23.6 per
cent. The receipts from Nebraska
are much larger than last year. The
western part of the state has the
largest increase. Good alfalfa crops
and freedom from disease have en
couraged hog production in the west.
The monthly mean temperature
was slightly above normal. There
were two periods of high tempera
ture, the first week, and the 16th to
20th. The maximum temperatures
were generally above 100. The last
ten days were cool. The rainfall was
above normal. It was especially
heavy in the southern counties, rang
ing generally from 4 to 6 inches.

COMFORT WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCE
One lirst-clasH hotel in Omaha that is
located Near the Burlington
and Union Stations
Many people in traveling prefer to
stop at a hotel near the railroad sta
tlon, if there is a suitable hotel so
located. In Omaha the first-class
hotels are located some distance
from the Burlington and Union Sta
tions, with one exception, and that
is the Pullman Hotel.
A few years ago an Omaha cap
italist decided to erect an up-to-date
hotel building near the principal
passenger depots of that city. Ac
cordingly ground was purchased on
Tenth street, just south of the Bur
lington Station, on which a fine large
building was erected, splendidly ar
ranged and equipped for the purpose
for which it was built. !
That building is the Pullman Ho
tel, which has been opened to the !
public under the management of T. t
C. Douglas, an experienced and sue-I
cessful hotel man. It is a pleasure ;
to print the advertisement of this
hotel, to which we call our readers'!
