WHEAT CROP TO B E
THE GREATEST EYER
Burlington Crop Report on Nebraska
Wheat is the Most Optimistic
Ever Issued.
CORN IS A LITTLE BACKWARD
The Nebraska crop report issued
from the headquarters of the Bur
lington lines west of the Missouri
river, covering the grain belt of the
area that includes the whole of the
state, and for the week ending last
Saturday night, is the most optimis
tic of the year. It indicates a bumper
wheat crop all through Nebraska,
and has this to say:
"The harvest is twenty days away,
with every field in the district
soaked with wa'er. The rain and
low temperatures have disposed of
chinch bugs, Hessian fly and other
pests. And while there fs no doubt
there may be somg damage here and
there from one cause or another, the
general result is no longer in doubt."
Estimating the condition of the average
wheat crop at 100 per cent during the
past years at this season of the year, by
divisions, the average is now placed a
follows:
Division. Pet. Division. Pet.
maha -. 102 Wymore 102
lnooln 101 McCook 110
Estimates Coaservatlve.
Continuing, ' the report adds!
"There U no doubt but that tbe esti
mates are conservative. On the McCook
division, especially la this so. The large
crop on the very west end of the Kansas
branches and over U other parts of the
division would Justify a higher estimate.
On the Alliance and Sterling divisions,
which take In the extreme western and
northwestern portions of Nebraska, with
the same method of figuring as Is adopted
for other parts of the state, the condition
of the, wheat at this time is estimated at
12E per cent.
During last week there were a number
of Isolated sections, small In extent.
where, hall did considerable damage. In
section of country five miles west of
Broken Bow, an area one-half mile wide
and thirty miles in length was visited by
very destructive hailstorm. In a small
section Just over tha line In Colorado and
In tha vlslnlty of Hill rose the wheat crop
was totally destroyed.
Unfavorable for Cora.
Dealing with corn, the report takes In
all the state. It Is asserted that . last
week was decidedly unfavorable for the
growth of the plant Late planted corn
rotted and tho ground will have to be
replanted. On rough land many of tha
fields are badly washed. . Early planted
corn Is up, but the growth has been
slow. By divisions Us condition Is re
ported ' a ' fol lows, the basis of figuring
being on tha ten-year average at - this
season of the year and for the purpose
It being placed at 100. :.

j lasting benefits. Those who have trlsi!
s simple spurmax fsce lotion find It
much better, ss it removes skin dts
colorations, such ss freckles snd tsn,
snd makes the skin smooth, white and

, solving four ounces of spurmax In on-
Imir pint hot water, then adding twi
I teaspoonfuls glycerin. This complex
ion beuutlfier does not rub off or show

appearance. It removes both ahinines

An espec ially fine si ampoo for thl

by dissolving a teafcpoonful of ranthrox
In a cud of hot water. Pour slowly on
scslp and massage briskly. This creates
a soothing, cooling lather that dissolves
and removes all dandruff, excess oil an-t
