"Even though the listed com washes

serted. "Th, rains will help rather than
hurt the winter wheat, and will have
Uttlo or no effect on alfalfa, except to
make the later cuttings all the better.
Outside the flooded districts we never
had better prospects than now."
Among other farmers at the Merchants
who voiced similar opinions were Harry
Williams of Gothenburg, C. Ellington of
Brunswick and Nat Houston of La Platte.

of the state every farmer was rejoicing
over the big rains. Dan Gaines, pro

tracks.
On the branches of the Omaha road, a
part of the Northwestern system, the
