WeMeni Nehni.ka Potato Crop Will lie SU and One-Half Million litittiel It Ih Figured. Corn dt-tiriorat.! to the extent of 30 per cent, durii.g Aiipust making the September 1 condition "1 per cent., according to the latest esti mates of A. K. Anderson of the Bu reau of Crop Estimates and Geo. A. , Williams of the State Bureau of Markets and Marketing. This con-, dition indicates a yield of 25.5 bush-; els and a productio nof 172,402,000; bushels compared to 123,086,000. bushels last year. Corn is very un-1 even, ranging from a failure to an, excellent condition. Parts of south central, central and most northeast ern Nebraska have good corn. The southeastern quarter of the state with few exceptions has a very poor crop. The condition of spring wheat at the time of harvest was 47 per cent., which promises a yield of 8.5 bushels and a production of 6,870.000 bush els compared to 9,663,000 bushels last year. The yield ranges from a failure to a fair crop. Some western and central counties have fairly food yields and witn a comparatively larg er acreage makes a higher state aver age than one might expect. Spring wheat ripened too fast in eastern half of the state and black rust also a factor in reducing yields. The total production of both spring and winter wheat is 55,870,00 bushels compared to 43,141,000 bushels last year. The condition of oats at the time cf harvest was 85 per cent, which Bhould make a yield of 32.3 bushels compared to 22.2 bushels last year. The production will approximate 74,387,000 bushels compared to 56, 188,000 bushels last year. The , fouthrastern quarter of the state has a better oat crop tnan normeasiem Nebraska, which is rather unusual. The condition of barley at the time of harvest wns S3 per cent, from which a yield of 25.7 bushels may be expected, and a production of 7,951. 000 bushels compared to 5,660,000 bushels last year. Barley and oats are nearer normal than other grain crops this year. Barley is gaining favor as a grain crop and the acre age has increased considerably. The potato crop will be very short this year. The condition which was generally very promising previous to July has now been reduced to 52 per cent, or a crop. The commercial po tato crop of western Nebraska, while slightly better than a half crop, may turn out less than half of last year's production as the acreage Is smaller. September 1 condition indicates a total crop of 6,458,000 bushels com pared to 10,406,000 bushels last year. The western Nebraska crop was very good last year, while the general farm crop of potatoes was very small. The average yield of the first three cuttnigs of alfalfa is 2.9 tons per acre compared to 2.1 tons last year. The first two crops were generally very good while part of the third crop was light. Some counties will have a fourth cutting. The total pro duction will aprpoxlmate 3,480,000 tons, compared to 2,527,000 tons last year. The average yield of wild hay is 1.1 tons per acre compared to .88 tons last year. The weather was generally very favorable for harvest and the quality of hay is good. The production should be nearly 2,989, 000 tons compared to 2,285,000 tons last year. Sugar beets have improved despite previous unfavorable conditions and insects and promise a satisfactory crop on an abnormally large acreage. There are 15 per cent, less swine than a year ago. Last year's swine crop was very large. However, Ne braska probably has as many swine as the short crop of corn will feed this year. Estimates of important crops for the United States are as follows:: Corn, 2,883,356,000 bu. compared to 2,582.814,000 bu. last year. Oats, 1.232,559.000 bu. compared to 1,- .'"S.nr.q.OPO bu. a year ago. Srring wheat, 204,907.000 bu. compared to 358.651,000 bu. last year. All wheat, 920.208.000 bu. compared to 917,100,0000 bu. a year ago. , A MERCILESS JUDGE One Who Shown So Favor. A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the want ing go to the wall.
