If the pessimists had attended the State fair held at Lincoln recently they would have bLoen given sufMcient evidence to induce them to cek other occasion for their lamentation It is undeniably true that much damags was done the Nebraska corn crop by the protracted drouth and uncommonly hot weather of July, yet the crop was not totally destroyed and the conservative gov ernment estimate allows that the state will produce what a few years ago would have been considered a phenomenal crop. But the government report does not afford even an inkling of the other resources of the Ne- bhraska farmer In no te in the union have agriculture and its kindred arts made such advance as in Nebraska. From de- penlence on a single the failure of which left him helpless and destitute, the crop, Nebraska farmer has come to know better and no longer puts all his eggs in one bas ket. He has found that corn is not the only crop for which the soil of Nebraska is adapted, but, on the contrary, there is no prain, grass or fruit that can be raised in i temperate elimate but what may be su cessfully cultivated in Nebraska. Diversity is now the watchword, not only in crops but in methods among the farmers of No braska It may be safely asserted that nowhere is the work of tilling the soil di rected with more intelligent care than in the Antelope state. The result is that al- though the corn crop suffered materially and some of the other crops in parts of the failures whole were certaln state E TLLUSTRATED the yield of all things the farm is expected to produce has not only been satisfactory but even bountiful, and the farmer is far from biing an object of commiseration The Bee this week shows some plctures which were taken on the State fair ground it Lincoln. It will take most careful crutinizing to discover any evidence of im pending disaster in the appearance of any of the people present, while the pictures of live stock, grains, vegetables and frul ought to effectually answer any charge of crop failure Labor day echoes are till heard, and likely will be for many weeks to come. Th unfon men of the nation pever made a more creditable display than this year, and the part plaved by the unior of Council Bluff Omaha and South Omaha was cer tainly not insignificant The Bee this weel present ome snap shots taken by a staff photographer howing the unions lined up ready to march and a view of the rowd t ndicate park, while 1.
