DRY WEATHER NOW NEEDED FOR GROPS Both Wheat and Corn Would Do Better With a Little More Sunshine. OTHER CROPS ARE GREAT While the rain of Sunday night is not figured in the data given out in the crop reports of the Burlington and Northwestern, railroad officials assert that Nebraska is getting more rain' than is needed for the growing crops. : The crop reports, taking into con- sideration conditions up to the end of last week show that for the period covered, all Nebraska was given a thorough wetting. Added to the rain of last week, all through the North Platte country and as far west as Grand Island and Long Pine, there was a terrific down- ur Sunday night. Up along the latte and in the Elkhorn valley there was one to two inches of rain during the late afternoon and night. How- ever, the weather is now clear and somewhat cooler. In the country over which the Sunday storm passed, it is reported that most of the streams are out of their banks, and in many section the crops on the bottoms are flooded. Need Dry Weather. In making up its weekly crop re- port, the Burlington officials assert that to assure a bumper winter wheat crop, a week to ten days of dry weather is needed. During the week, with favorable weather, wheat cutting will be commenced in the southern counties of the state, and next week harvest will be in full blast all through the South Platte country. The comparative estimate indicates that wheat is still in fine condition. On the basis of a perfect crop, the Burlington gives out the following figures for last week and the week previous. They are as follows, by divisions: Last Week. 25 Previous Division. Omaha .. Lincoln ‘Wymore McCook Weeds Grow Fast. It is reported that, due to the con- tinued rain, corn did not progress as rapidly as desired. The trouble was that farmers were unable to get into their fields, and while the corn was making a good growth, the weeds were growing still more rapidly. Com- parative figures on corn on the basis of 100 per cent for perfect condition, are as follows for the end of last week and the end of the previous week: Last Previous Division. Omaha ..
