Nebraska seems i to have escaped

Nebraska farmers to plow for winter
seeding. The movement of wheat to
market is reported to be light in
that state. Nebraska farmers evi

grain as long as possible, in the hope
that the ahasm between cost of pro
duction and the farm price, . now
ruinously wide, may be materially
lessened.
The government reports that the
condition of spring wheat in Nebras
ka has fallen because of rust. Oats
and barley, however, are declared to
have made good crops.
A "spotted" condition is reported
for Nebraska potatoes.' In the Kear
