of Different Sources.
Washington, Jan. 4. Farm relief
proposals came before congress from
number of sources when it recon

Representative Dickinson, republican
of Iowa, recognized loader in the
house farm bloc. The Dickinson pro
posal drafted after conferences with
various farming organizations, in-
culding those represented at the re
cent farm conference in Des Monies,
was designed to provide for the dis
posal thru co-operative associations of
he exportable surpluses of wheat.

Machinery to be set up to handle
the surpluses, would comprise a fed

price and sell it at the world price.
Iviter the agencies would be reimburs

credit aid from government bank

Nebraska Third
Corn Crop State
of Entire Nation
Total Production Exceeded Only by
that of Iowa and Illinois, Gov
ernment Report Shows.
Nebraska noids tnird place among
the great corn producing states in the
final government report on crop yields
for 1925 Iowa ccmes first with a
corn crop estimated at 478,000.000
bushels; Illinois second with 388,
000.000 bushels and Nebraska third
with 236.000,000 bushels.
Missouri and Indiana are credited
with 201.000,000 bushels each, Ohio
with 177.000.000 bushels. Minnesota
I 156,000,000 bushels and Kansas wfth
j 104,000,000 bushel?. All other states
are below the 100,000,000 bushel
mark
The total yield for the United
States on the final estimate is placed
at 2,90,000,000 bushels, compared to
the final estimate of 2,312,000,000
bushels in 1924, an increase of nearly
600,000,000 bushels.
Revised Acreage Estimate
The final estimate on the corn crop
and the reduction of nearly 113,000.
000 bushels from the November esti
mate, was based on revised acreage
estimates and on hU3kfng returns as
reported from the rarious states. It
is probably as accurate as such re
ports can be made with the facilities
at the command of the department
of agriculture and is generally ac
cepted as closely approximating the
actual yield for the last year.
The figures for nearly all the states
, have had to be revised since the esti-
mates made earlier in the fall when
te dry weather of July and August
seriously threatened the crop in
many states. The Nebraska corn crop
was estimated at 195,000,000 bushels
in the August report, but each suc
ceeding month snowed marked im
provement in the condition of the
crop, until final returns Justified the
estimate of 236,000,000 bushels, one
'of the largest crops ever produced in
the state. This crop was produced
on about 8,500,000 acres compared
to 10,500.000 acres in Illinois and
11,500,000 acres in Iowa.
Crop Above Average
The crop in the eastern, northern,
and part of the western section of
Nebraska was above the average, but
there were sections in the central
and southwestern parts of the state
where the rains came too late to
make an average yield. If conditions
had been favorable in these dry sec
tions Nebraska would have surpassed
all previous corn yields. The 1925
crop on the final estimate, is about
16,000.000 above the 10-year aver
age and 45,000,000 bushels above the
final figures for 1924.
