FROST TOO LATE
TO DAMAGE CORN
8ti - tYop Heport Show Yield to
Be Het Sinre 1006- High
Mi;rl U.r Potatoes.
A corn rrop of 251,619,000 bushels
baaed upon the October 1 condition
of 97 per cent as com pared to 93
per cent a month a so is the latest
estimate of A, E. Anderson of the
bureau of crop estimates and Leo
SlUlir of the Nebraska department j
of agriculture. Last j ear's produo- j
tion was 184,186,000 l.nfr-els the
five year average 192,43 .000
bushels. The present condition lndl-j
rates the hlghei.t average yield since
1906. While killing front came
slightly earlier than the average
date, the weat' er had been so favor
able for drying and maturing tie
corn during the previous throe weeks
that the percentage of damaged corn
is small. A few of the correspond
ents report some damage, but most
of the comments state that corn had
matured sufficiently to escape dam
age. An estimate of yield will be
made next month.
A condition of 90 per cent on the
potato crop indicates a production of
10,109,000 bushels compared to 6,
325,000 bushels last year and the
five year average of 9,669,000
bushels. Last year's yield was very
low. If the yield turns out as well
as indicated by the condition, it will
. exceed all since 1902 except the 1915
yield.
The average yield of oats is 35
bushels per acre as compared to 32.8

IDENTIFICATION '
A neighbor, seeing the seven-year-old
daughter of a geologist playing
with a bedraggled but cherished kit-l-
n, asked what her pet was called.
"Well," replied the precocious
youngster, "that depends. Father
calls her a segregation from an Intru
sive magna of doubtful genesis;
mother refers to her as the base
ment complex; sister Helen Insists
that she Is a typical example of sec
ondary impoverishment; but I Just
call her my dear little kitty." Bos
