Tho report on the crop situation given
out by Frank Fowlor of the Nye-Schnnlder-Fowler
Grain company of
Omaha Is most oxhnustlve, covering tho
entlro corn bolt of the state. It la com
piled from the reports of crop experts
stationed at more than 100 points In tho
Nebraska corn belt. In his compilation,
Mr. Fowler says:
"Our reports Indicate that no serious
damage has boon dono to corn in Ne
braska and western Iowa; Indeed, the
bulk has been boncfltcd by tho hot
weather and after allowing for tho dam
age on abnormally early corn, Wo are
still ahead by reason of most of our corn
not having reached the shooting and las
sellng stage. That period Immediately
followed by silking and pollenhlng, In the
condition of our Nebraska and western

Allen Bars:
"In view of tho fact that fanners are
the common source of Information for

as a rule, have a tendency to exug- j

should be taken with somo reserve
"Until corn comes to the llk and tussel
stage, it can hardly be damaged In this

The tendenoy of such oxtreme heat when
nearing that stugo Is to prematurely
bring out the silk and tassel, and that
has happened In places to early ' corn.
With plenty of rain I think estimates of
