 are practically out of the market, as 

 are also White Portugal and White 

 Globe. There is yet some stock of 

 Yellow Globe and Bed Globe to be 

 had at good prices. Those who have 

 not covered their onion requirements 

 should locate their supply as soon as 

 possible, as virtually all the stock in 

 the country is now held by dealers

 soft and far from out of danger. Field 

 corns largely are soft and many of them 

 light and loose on the cob, indicating 

 light weight corn. 



"We do not consider any corn in 

 Nebraska north of the Platte river safe 

 from repeated heavy killing frosts or 

 hard freezing weather, and it is a ques- 

 tion if more than a small percentage of 

 the corn in thfe section where the seed 

 corn is usually 'Obtained will be suitable

Both the seed and set crop is shorter this season throughout the
