RICH HARVEST IN NEBRASKA. Beat * Has Escaped Devastation and W Have a Good Crop. OMAHA , Aug. 5. Hot winds ai dry weather of July have been si ceeded by a cooler atmosphere and tl backbone of the drouth has been bro en by good local showers in sectioi of Nebraska wliere 'ttiey'did the grej est good to suffering crops. Estimates on corn at this time a unreliable , but basing last year's yte at 210,000,000 bushels on an acreaj of 8,000,000 with present indicatioi and favorable weather to follow seems fair to anticipate at least good half crop or an average of nea ly twelve and one-half bushels a acre. Estimates at this time are sul Ject to change and the one given i conservative. The reduced crop will be materiall changed by the corresponding highe price" to be realized by the amo'uxi yielded. It must be remembered tha the corn producing belt of Nebraska i confined to the extreme eastern an northeastern part of the state. The Nebraska wheat crop escape the drouth , as it was out of danger be fore the hot winds made their appeal auce. The increased acreage , togethe with the excellent yield per acre , ai "sures a harvest in bushels in excess o last year. Perhaps the crop which has beei damaged more than any other by thi drouth is the potato crop. District heretofore yielding from 200 to 251 bushels per acre report yields this yeai of from ten to fifty bushels only. The hay crop in the range districts west and northwest will be far in ex cess of any past season. The oats crop will be light. Th < yield per acre will be nominal in somt districts , not to exceed ten bushels per acre. Excellent crop reports come from the irrigated districts in the state. COLOMBIAN TROOPS THERE.
