This section of Nebraska has never had a
better outlook for a big crop at timis season
of the year than at present. Corn is all up
and a part of it has beelt ctmltlvnted once
over and Ii growing finely. The exceed-
bigly good stand is one of the principal facts
lit ( lie guarammtee that the growing corn
crop Is to be of the best in Nebraska's lila-
tory. Time soil was perhaps never itt a fitter
condition as to moisture and a few days of
lmot stun will make corn fairly jump. Wheat ,
oats nod barley , generally speakIng , are in
SIlendid condition. Vegetables amid all
kInds of garden stuff are moaking a won-
L
_ -
deettil growth , while ( lie cherry crop and
the different varieties of berries growmi hero
are practically a sure crop.
