Dry weather reduced . the tonnage . but made the root richer In - sugar. Weather conditions cut other crops very short , so that the beet was the chief. and , In many cases , the only source of revenue to the tarmer.

Neb. , Aug. 31.-Speclal.--During ( ) the past few days more rain has talen' at this place than for years at this reason One year ago this month the ground In this county was dry. In fact It was with great dlf- ' nculy that any wheat was sown nt all. This : year abundance of rain has tailen. Had the moisture which lies fallen hero this fall , fallen last year York county would have had a god crop. However , when the spring came this Ilast season the farmers of the cOly had to contend with the dry winds In March , which dried out what little moist- ure there was i tlt . soil. Fall plowing can now bo rapidly pushed 3S seen as the ground has dried sufcienty to allow it. At first I . ' WItS thought that the eounty's crops were beyond redemption , but It now appears that there are some very good fields at corn , and the late showers will bring to the front many other fields which were bJdly scorched. Oats are being held , but little of them being sold by the farmers for feed. While the crops of the county have baen light for three years. the value of York county land has decreased to no great extent A quarter section of land \as yesterday sell by a real estate agent In this city for about $7,000 , and there are many better qtiarters In the county than this.
