June Report Raises May Production
Figures; Rye, Spring Wheat,
0at3 May Be Lower.
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

I Officials of the Standard, Midwest,

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,

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 '
