NEBRASKA STANDS FOURTH IN THE PRODUCTION. HILYSISOFOCTOBER'REPORT Four Cgmmonwcaltho that Are In n Close by Themselves , Illinois Leading In Acrearje.

The exception was iu the year 1JIOG-07 , when some thing like 250,000,000 bushels moro was used than during the other years under review. The -records show that this increase In distribution was stimulated by the low range of corn prices' .
