The dry weather of the last two weeks has helped in the harvest, which was very late. Harry Plerce, whose farm is four miles northwest of town, threshed the follow- ing ylelds: Oats, eighty busheis to the acre; barley, sixty-one, and wheat, thirty. While the acreage of potatoes is less than one-third of normal for the county, the crop will be about as large as usual and of a superior quality. Many farmers report estimated yields of from 17 to 275 bushels of potatoes to the acre. Early Ohlos will yleld the least and Triumphs will yleld the most. Cattle are beginning to move to South Omaha and are in fine condition. The hay and feed crop is very heavy and many farmers and ranchmen will hold over part of their herds that they in- tended to sell on this account. Horses have been selling steadily all summer at satisfactory prices and the numbet of horses in the county is greatly reduced over twelve months ago. There has been no frost in this section yet and if the killing frosts hold off for two weeks longer there will be a big crop of good corn and the acreage is double that of ordinary years.

The fact that the race program this year Is a new de- parture in that all races are in the run- ning olass, has evidently struck a popu- {1ar chord. The purses are exceptionally large. As a matter of fact there is more money going into the Custer county run- ning races than the state fair is offering in the same class. The outlook for fine exhibits of live stock and agriculture is particularly en- ‘couraging and the management feels confident that an increased Interest belng taken in the fair and that all of tho departments will be splendidly rep- resented. The ceremony of laying the corner- stone of The new 0Odd Fellows' bullding in Broken Bow, will ocour September 10. Grand Master Harnish of O'Neill will take full charge.
