Washington, June 9. With an in dicated production of 512,252,000 bushels on June 1, the winter wheat crop was estimated Friday by the Department of Agriculture as show ing an increase of 33,000.000 bush els over the May production report, but rye, spring wheat and oats fig ures indicate that these crops may set new low records. Despite the indicated winter wheat gain over the May report, the harvest will fall below last year's crop by 4 0,000,000 bushels. Friday's survey showed. A further decline may be expected from ths department's no tation that the conditions resulting from the rather general rains occur ring since June 1 are not included in this report. Less Rainfall. Rye condition was reported as in dicating the third lowest yield in the department's records and the condi tion of 67.9 per cent of normal is the lowest ever reported on June 1. The indication of a 10.3 bushels acre yield exceeds only the figures of 10.2 bushels in 1885, and 10.1 bushels in .1887. j Insufficient rainfall was termed the cause of the low spring wheat indi cation of 79 per cent of normal, the lowest estimate recorded except that of 1926. This lack of rain was r.-f ! in all the important spring whe; c areas. The June 1 condition of oats, plac ed at 7S.3 per cent ,is the lowest yet reported for that date. Growth was retarded by drouth in most of the ; corn belt states, the report showed, while in some sections the stand was reported to have beeen thinned by April breezes. Barley Higher. The barley crop condition was re ported slightly below the 10-year av erage. Tame hay and pasture showed 89.7 per cent of normal to 74.6 per cent. Peaches, pears and apples all showed improvement on June 1, com uared with last year, and also well above the 10-year average. Omaha Bee-News.

I Officials of the Standard, Midwest, I Sinclair, Pure Oil and Mid-Kansas j companies have visited the Nebraska oil center and daily reports now are being made to these companies. General optimism over the projects is increased because the main fields are but 75 miles from the Russell, Kas., field and only 65 miles from the N'atoma, Kas., well that came in last Sunday and is said to be yielding 200 barrels. State Journal C Oil Projects in Nebraska are Being Pushed Several Rigs ia Operation in State at Present Time Five in the Republican Valley Hastings, Neb., June 6. Oil oper ations in Nebraska had reached a point today where it was reasonably certain that the forty-year-old ques tion of whether there is oil in the state will be answered within a short time. Five oil rigs now are drilling in the Republican valley. More than 300,000 acres are reported leased Men are working day and night in a race for state prizes offered for the first well that yields fifteen bar rels of oil daily, or 1,500 cubic feet or gas. The oil mania has .not taken on boom aspects. Generally the pro jects are backed by foreign concerns, many of which hold positions of im portance in the petroleum world. The Lohf Creek project near RIv erton heads the list. The well is be ing drilled by A. B. Boyce of Tucum cari, N. M., who is under contract to the Ohio Oil company a sub sidiary of Standard Oil. Already the Ohio is reported to have spent more than $150,000 on the project and no local 'funds have been solicited. The project was first started by John W. Fuller, Denver capitalist and oil man of Okaahoma and Texas. The Ohio compnay took the field over from Fuller and the hole now is down 800 feet. The Graham well is located a short distance west of Beaver City. It is reported to be financed by oil capital in Tulsa and Wichita.' It now is down 2.200 feet. The Montague well is situated seven miles south of Beaver City. It is down 1,300 feet and is supported mostly thru capital in Hast ings. The U. S. Drilling company vell is located near Campbell and is fin anced by Campbell and Hastings men. It now is down 3.3S0 feet and is the leader in the race for the $30,000 in prize money offered the first successful oil and gas wells in the state. The fifth well is situated j near Imperial in the far western part ' Daily Journal, 15 cents per week. All Week 11th to 16th Isler Greater Shows CLEAN - REFINED - HIGH CLASS .
