"Com is King1."
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.

eyed, or something else equally mis

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. Abide from the drouthy con
dition which has prevailed for six
weeks, grasshoppers are thicker
