RAIN GREATJELP TO CORN j igyy SUIT' '
WON'T HURT YOU
But Grain Men Say that a Root-
Soaker is Still Reeded.
GOOD SHOWERS FOR TWO NIGHTS
State- In Pretty Generally Covered by
the Fnlla of Saturday " '"""
tfay Xldht Ornln IlecrlpU
Are Very Itearjr.
Notwithstanding the rains of Saturday
nnd Sunday nights that were pretty gen
cral over Nebraska, both grain and rail
road experts contend that this state,
Iowa, South Dakota and Kansas are fao
Ing a oritioal condition, so far as the corn
crop la concerned. They admit that the
ahowera are helping some, but Insist Uiat
a Tegular root soaker Is whst Is needed
within the next week or ten days. If It
does not come, they are of the opinion
that the crop Generally will be greatly
damaged.
The rain of Saturday night, according
to the railroad reports, consisted of scat
tered, showers over the most of the state.
The rain Sunday night was heavier and
more generally distributed, at least west
of the Missouri river. Along the Union
Pacific there was a light rain most of
the way from Omaha to North Platte,
the heaviest being In tho vicinity of Cen
tral City, where the precipitation aggre
gated ono and one-half Inches. Over the
branches to the north there was from
one-fourth to onehalf Inch reported from
most of the stations, with about the same
rainfall along tho main line west of
Grand Island.
Burllngtoi territory generally was
visited by rain Sunday night. Over most
of tho Omaha, division there waa from
one-half to three-fourths of an Inch; on
the Lincoln division, from a trace to one
half loch: on the MoCootc division, one
fourth to onealf Inch, with very heavy
rain in tho vicinity of Bridgeport nnd
irom Eustls east to Holdrege.
Alone ! Worthwestem.
The Northwestern reports from one-halt
to three-fourths of an Inch over the main
Jlne as far weat as Norfolk and about
the tune precipitation along the Lincoln
and Hastings bronchos, though there
were a number of places where there
was hardly enough rain to lay the dust.
Along with tho rain report comes the
weekly crop reporta of the railroads. The
.Burlington's report Is less optimistic than
to the past, the estimates on the corn
crop, a compared with one week ago
being oh follows by divisions:

Critical Stane for Corn.
In making up tho report, Superintendent
Allen contends that the critical stage for
corn has approachod and the damage that
has been done, generally has been in the
fields whero tho cereal was farthest ad
vanced, tho hot and dry" weather having'
withered the tassels, kilting the life Jn
the pollen. Late corn hoa fared better.
Northwestern crop reporta Indicate con
Blderable damago In tho south half of
Nebraska, In many sections this damage
being estimated nt from 20 to 40 per cent
Up tho Klkhorn nnd Missouri valley, the
condition is still placed at 100 per cent,
tiratn Receipt Heavy.
Notwithstanding: the critical condition
of corn, grain reoelpta continue heavy,
there having been 453 cars on the Omaha
market yeatcrday, divided up as fol
lows; Wheat, 310! own, 10lj oats, thirty
four; rye, five cara. Prices were M cent
higher on corn, with wheat steady to
lower, ,
Up to date, July has been the record
month with tho Omaha Grain exchange,
the receipts including Monday, having
been 4,100 cars. However, tho grain men
look for n falling off In wheat receipts It
heavy rains do not come this week. They
say farmers are growing a bit scared
over the corn condition and are showing
a tendency to hold their wheat for better
.prices.
