With rain and lower tempera
tures this week, the state will
produce a good crop, the report
said.
About eight percent of the corn
liad tasseled in the eastern third
of the state by the close of last
week, with a few tassels appear
ing on early torn in the cen
tral portion.
Com needs rain badly, the re-!
port noted.
Continued drought whth high i
temperatures could soon ruin the !
crop.
Singularly, a number of north
east Holt and Boyd county farm
ers told The Frontier their com
could hold out another week—
even before Tuesday’s breather. |
The wheat harvest is virtually
c ompleted, the crop report said. |
Yields continue to vary with
some indication of lower returns, i
Oats and barley harvest also
near its end except in the north- !
trn half of the state. Yields vary
but there are many high yields
and the average is “very good.”
Heat and drought have been
hard on alfalfa and pastures, and
the third crop of alfalfa is stand
ing still. Many pastures in south
ern Nebraska have turned brown.

But, how much better

would your business

i*f
Thoughts on the above inquiry:
1. It is the question asked of partial and
non-advertisers by the editor of “Retail
ing Daily.”
2. More than 85% of all retailing dollars go
into newspapers. Among newspapers, the
most thoroughly read is the weekly
hometown press
Mr. Merchant: Just as you 3' Nebraska’s big?-^t department store, a

4. Local businessmen with regular adver
tisements in The Frontier have enjoyed
what they have termed “our biggest

5. Readers pay to get The Frontier and
