Nebraska corn matured very rap idly last week and part of the crop can stand frost without injury as early as September 1. Plowing for wheat is nearly completed in eastern sections. Marketing of potatoes has been stimulated by present high prices. The melon crop is very good and the market over-supplied in some places. This is the summary of the state and federal weekly crop re port issued at Lincoln yesterday by A. E. Anderson. The complete state ment follows: "High winds and temperatures have matured corn very rapidly, particularly in the south Platte ter ritory west of Lancaster and Gage counties. Part of the corn is well j dented and husks dry. There has oeen no improvement iu iiie uruuiu section and the average yield of Kearney, Harlan, Phelps and Buffalo counties will be cut 50 per cent. The crop for all states as a whole shows considerable deterioration and some permanent injury, according to the mid-month crop summary. "Much of Nebraska's winter wheat section was plowed early this sum mer, which is one of the most im portant factors in wheat production. Those who elayed plowing are meet ing considerable difficulty due to hard, dry soil. Plenty of moisture i now to pack the plowed land would Is Kept Busy in the West Letters from Col. W. R.

Excellent Church Services Last Sunday two excellent services were held at the Presbyterian church. The morning service was in charge of the pastor, Rev. J. D. Buchanan, and included the communion service of the church. At this time there jwere received into the church teu members, four by confession and six by letter. They were Misses Rein- make the soil conditions favorable for seeding that begins next month. Complete world statistics of 1921 wheat are not yet obtainable, but as far as can be determine from counties producing 50 per cent of the crop, there will be very little change over last year. "In general the reports of oats from all states are very disappoint ing, but so far this does not seem to have raised the price. Oats are sell ing extremely low in this state. "Potatoes that are mature are mov ing rapidly to market and this seems to be the wise move as the prices are very good, and the mid-month re ports of the late potato crop show some improvement, although the total crop will yet be below the average, and prices will be as high as the economic conditions will war rant. The sweet potato crop of the southern states is promising. "Wild hay quality will be bettre than last year as the grass did not grow as rank. Considerable of the alfalfa was left for seed and outside of the regions of severe drouth, the condition is promising. "Melons are very plentiful and at some Platte river points the market is over-supplied. One grower, north of Grand Island, is feeding his melon crop to the swine, while Lincoln con sumers are paying two cents a pound for melons." GENERAL ELECTRICS BUSINESS HOLDS UP New York, Aug. 28.
