A Complete Report On Nebraska Crops Dabor Commissioner Bush will Iss-ie a crop report today giving the total acre ages of all crops raised In Nebraska, by counties, the number of head of live stock, the acreages of tlmbor and of vegetables. The entire report Is by coun ties and has been compiled after careful research on the part of Mr. Bush and h!a assistant. Chief Clerk Don Despaln. The two men have personally Inspected the growing crops and have compiled their acreages from the reports of the precinct and township assessors made to the county clerks as provided by statute. An Important feature of the report Is the percentage of condition with 100 as per fect. Advance sheets of the report have been prepared for publication. In a resume of tho conditions of the principal crops the report says. WHEAT. “Conditions early in the season were such as to warrant the expectation of the greatest wheat crop In the history of Nebraska. Hail and wind have visited the state so frequently as to destroy these prospects nnd have made appearances very deceiving by injuring the wheat in such a way as to prevent perfect filling of the heads. The south central portion has received the greatest damage. In this particular district Harbin county seems to have fared worst, it having sixty-six sections almost totally de stroyed. Throughout the south central portion the average yield has been de creased from 10 to 16 bushels per acre. '*The north central portion has excellent prospects. Custer county especially will yield an immense crop of all giains to gether with alfalfa and bay. “The standing of the southern part of the state is 90, uc central 94 and the northern 91. The average estimated yield of wheat by counties appears In the ‘sum mary by counties.’ ESTIMATE OF WHEAT. “After close inspection and observation by officials of tlie department, supple mented by conservative opinions of ex perienced producers in all sections of the state, the department supplemented by conservative opinions of experienced pro 7 ( I * i ducers In all sections of the state, the de partment feels able to estimate the aver age yield of winter wheat in the state at eighteen bushels per acre and the total yield at 36.200,000 bushels. "The average yield of spring wheat is estimated at twelve bushels per acre and total yield of 6,450,000 bushels. CORN. "The general condition of the corn crop over the state is far below normal, not ranking over 78. With a frost at the nor mal period, about the 16th of September, there ahould be 75 per cent of a corn crop. This will be increased or dimin ished according to the date of the frost and freeze following. Corn Is now look ing much better than a fortnight ago and the prospects for a crop are correspond ingly brighter. "The corn crop has made wonderful progress In view of the handicap caused by late seeding, xiiis will seriously af fect the yield in spite of a late frost, because when the corn begins to ear it will not have had its growth and instead of all the vitality going to the ear, a large i i part will enter the stalk to complete Its growth, which will cause smaller-sised corn than if conditions had been normal. The condition cf the southern counties is 75, central counties 84, northern counties 80. OATS. “The oat crop is an enigma so far as estimating is concerned, because of the irregularity of the stand and prospects. There is no uniformity of appearances. Nevertheless there will be a normal yield of oats and the condition found by obser vation over the state is 92. The central and northern portions of the state will yield better in oats than the southern. The condition in the central portion is 94, in the northern 92.” A summary of the acreages not given in the county tabulation is as follows: Sugar beets, 11.160 acres; timothy, 238, 641 acres; sorghum cane, 12S.698 acres; Irish potatoes, 69,102 acres; broom corn, 2,373 acres; clover. 54.635 acres; blue grass. 172,881 acres; other tame grass, 298,515 acres; timber, 311,215 acres.
