The reporter made a trip to the southern part of the county Wed nesday and during' the drive saw some extremely fine fields of corn. The grasshoppers have almost ruined the corn in the valley bouUi of town but farther south they haven't made an apppearancc as yet and the fields show a solid mass of green, luxuriant growth. Driving over the top of a hill about twelve miles southeast of town the first glimpse of the Jack Morrow Flats was caught. They presented a picture ot ideal farms. There is quite a settlement on the flats and the farm-houses all look as if their owners had succeeded in making farming in Nebraska-pay. Small grain this year in that vicin ity is not turning out as well as it did last year but the farmers will get a half crop. Corn, so far, is looking fine and if the rain con tinues to come when it is needed the corn crop there will be one of those large ones concerning which the lmigration agents talk so glibly but which rarely ever materializes lor a "drv ' farmer. The crowth of the corn has been marvelous. Still farther south the same condition is found. Of course there are occas ional poor looking stands but they are largely due to lack of proper cultivation. In Buchanan precinct there are prospects for one of the largest corn crops that they have had in some, tunc. The trip was an eye opener for the reporter who did not realize the wealth of some of the strips of farming land on the tables. The appearance of the majority of the farms this year will compare favor ably with the best of those under the various irrigation districts. Betweon. the Itlvors.

This vicinity received a fine shower Sunday morning, and at this writing it looks like more rain would follow. It is hoped that the corn will grow fast enough to get away from the grasshoppers, now. We notic ed in the Telegraph that Mr. Fred Parretthad been in the southwest part of the county and reported that "crops never looked better." Mr. Parrctt must have had green spectacles on or he must he cross eyed, or something else equally mis leading must bcafllictiug thegentle man as your correspondent, who has been living in the south western part of the county for M years had noticed no such evidences of good crop conditions. In fact, generally speaking, the southwest portion of Lincoln county has no reason to feel elated at the prospect for a big crop.
