NOrth PlattJ. KebM Aug. 8. -Reports
are just coming in as to the damage
done by the storm. In this city the
hall did not do very much damage
outside ot breaking a few windows
. ud some small damage to trees and
gardens At Birdwood, about four
miles west of here, the storm was very
i.eveie and the path of the hall storm
destroyed practically all of the corn
It is reported that on the BlrdwooJ
table to tbe north hail fell to a depth
of six Inches. Another ball storm
extended from Bignell to the south
west and farmers' chickens were
killed and considerable damage done
to the crops. At Bignell the water
was almost two feet deep for a time.
Storrr, at Geneva.
During a thunderstorm the barn at
the Girls' Industrial school at Ge
neva, Neb., was struck by lightning
and burned to ground with all con
tents. About two inches of rain fell
in twenty minutes.
Nebraska Enjoys More Raina.
Omaha, Aug. 8 Railroad we. ther
reports show that Nebraska got an
other one of "those million dollar
rains." A" ordlng to the reports it
was pretty general all over the state
CROP EXPERTS OPTIMISTIC
gome slleva Corn Yield Will Exceed
That of Last Ysar.
"How much corn will he harvested
In Nebraska this fall?" Is the burning
question In business offices, railroad
headquarter and even on the street
coi lON at Omaha.
"I believe there will be between
175,(00,000 and mo.ooo.utm bushel
harvested," declares J. K. Utt. general
agent fur the Hock Island lines in
Omaha. "With normal weather from
now on the crop will he close to 175,
0(10,000 bushels, but with good rains,
better than we usually have here, it
will easily raiae to 190.000,000
bushels."
Mr I'M has made predictions on the
amount of corn harvested each year
In the first week in August and he is
considered one of the best Informed
men on corn crops in the state.
Conrud K Spens, general freight
agent of the lines west of the Mis
souri of the Burlington, Is more op
timistic than Mr. Utt and declarea
that tbe crop will total 200.ooo.000
bushels It is a matter of private
record that Mr Spens' guess in 1010
was within 4,000,000 bushels or being
correct.
Other men In Omaha Insist that the
crop will with normal weather come
up to 210,000,000 bushels, while those
who do not believe In the strength ot
Nebraska to grow corn in the late
aummer and early fall and make a
crop, atate that the crop will be 160,
000,000 bushels
But with all tbe guesses It Is a
significant fact that no one considers
that Nebraska's share of the golden
ears will be small this season. The
division of opinion Induces the one
on the side line to believe that It will
come up to nearly that of last yea'-,
196,000.000 bashels.
FARMERS DEMAND RAILROAD
Meetings to Induce Burlington to Lay
Tracks on Grade or Give Up.
The farmers along the old grade
from Sargent to Brewster are holding
meetings for the purpose of urging the
Burlington to put rolling stock on the
grade which they built some twenty
years ago. If this cannot be done
they are in communication with pro
moters who are confident that they
can get another company to come in
and give the farmers relief. The
Burlington kept out other roads with
their grade.
A great many farmers are running
big automobiles, which relieves them
in a measure, but it does not shorten
the road when they come to haul
hogs and drive cattle ten to forty
miles and lo3e a good many In transit
during the not weather.
A meeting was held at the Cum
mlngs Park church at which the en
thusiastic crowd plainly showed Its
determination to do something to
bring relief. They came with auto
mobiles and teams, some as far as
thirteen miles, and U was only an
example of what is being held In all
tbe school bouses along the old grade.
