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.

To the housewife who has not yet
heoome acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who Is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs. It Is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality
and quantity must win.

She Didn’t Care.
Maplehiil, la., Aug. 10th.—“I felt as
though I didn’t care whether I lived
or died, I was so miserable all th»
time.”
In these words does Miss Nellie Bar
foot of this place describe her condi
tion. Every woman who is, or has
been sick and suffering will under
stand and appreciate just how Miss
Barfoot felt, and there are no doubt
many thousands of similar cases.
It is truly an awful thing when •
woman gets so low that she can say
"I don’t care whether I live or die.”
But Miss Barfoot tells a different
Btory to-day, and her words should
guide every suffering woman to the
path of health and happiness.

est praise.”
