month. Although the present estimate
of 217,410,000 bushels is 3K.1 1X.000
bushels below last year s crop, it is 16,
474,000 bushels above the past five
year average. Northeastern counties
will lead in both yield and quality.
North central and northwestern coun
; ties have a very satisfactory ciop.
With central and southeastern coun
ties show very severe injury from
drouth although some localities have
fair yields. Central Nebraska coun
ties, with the exception of Buffalo and
the west part of Hall county have fair
ly Rood yieldH. The damage to late
corn in eastern counties from drouth
' during the latter part of August is
; confined largely to the counties south
of the Platte river.
The preliminary estimate of yield of
oats is 28 bushels which is 5.G bushels
fcelow last year and 12 bushels below
the ten year average. The estimate
of production is 67,872,000 bushels as
compared to 83,040,000 bushels last
: year. The quality is rated at 87 per
cent as compared to 95 per cent last
yoar and 88 per cent the ten year
' average. Light weight of grain due to
' seat and drouth at the critical period
aa well as repeated rains after harvest
is responsible for the low quality.
The preliminary estimate of yield of
spring wheat is 12 bushels as compar
! d to 9.5 bushels the last year. The
production totals 2,784,000 bushels as
. compared to 2,451,000 bushels last
year. This places the preliminary es-
. timate of production of all wheat at
o5,514,000 bushels as compared to the
final estimate last year of 00,480,000
bushels.
Barley will yield 26 bushels compar
' d to 2! bushels last year according
to preliminary estimates. The produc
tion totals 0,()o6,000 bushels against
' 4,424,000 bushels last year. The crop
is iniru in size on the record.
The 'potato crop is rated at 70 per
cent compared to 71 per cent a month
ago. harvest of the farm crop has
stated and the harvest of the late com
mercial crop is well ndvuncod. The
indicated production is 7,10(5,000 bush-
els as compared to 8,4 15,00te bushels
last year. The late commercial potato
crop of western counties although not
up to last year in yields is expected
to exceed last year's commercial crop
in quantity due to the large increase in
acreage, lhe estimate of the potato

Noah's Idea 0. K.,

Can't Wait So Long
Noah was six hundred years old be
, fore he built the Ark. But if we wait
that long to learn the lesson of fire
: prevention we won't have enough un
- burned material left to build an Ark.
The fire loss in the United States
v amounts to almost half a billion dot
lars a year. Seventy-five per cent, of
', all fires are preventable. Fifteen thou-
; sand people are killed by fire and sixty
thousand others maimed every year. A
fire breaks out on the average of
every minute.
1 Here's what the president of the
Nation Fire Protection association
'says about it:
"The 1920 fire loss figures of twenty
; states have now been completed by
" the Actuarial Bureau of the National
, Board of Fire Underwriters, and are
found to be sixty per cent greater than
those of 1919," said President W. E.
Mallalieu of the National Fire Protec
tion association in his annual address
at the recent San Francisco meeting. I

bring the nation's figures to $404,000,-1
