»v! BdaJXB 80 far, in the northern part 



*J of Htb state, are looking fairly good, 



• but -need rain hadly. In this section 



beans are looking better, as we have 



had some very good rains recently, 



which helped considerably and, should 



we have continued favorable weather, 



we would harvest puetty close to a 



full crop . of beans in this section of 



the state, but it is entirely too eaxly 



■■ to make aiiy prediction as to what the 



outcome will be on the bean crop, as 



there are many contingencies that may 



arise between now and harvest.

CRITICAL IN NEBBASEA. 



Waterloo, Neb., July 7. — Regarding 

 crop conditions, will say that crops are 

 almost a perfect stand, fields free from 

 weeds, and up to the present time have 

 been doifw^ remarkably well, but the 

 continued not, dry weather within a 

 few days will doubtless work serious 

 damage unless relieved by rain. It is 

 ^mply a weather proposition with us. 

 Good general rains will save the situ- 

 ation; without rain conditions will be 

 serious within a few days. 



Our crops being scattered, some sec- 

 tions have had local showers which 

 have been very timely and beneficial, 

 regard the general situation at 

 sent critical.

IN NEBRASKA AND COLORADO. 



Fremont, Neb., July 8. — We have re- 

 Qflltg pd crop reports from a large num- 

 qiyA if our growers, the most of whom 

 ri^rt from fair to good stands of corn, 

 cucumber, pumpkin and squash. The 

 sweet and field corn are well advanced, 

 clean and free from weeds, and while 

 we believe no serious damage has yet 

 occji^rred from the hot, dry weather, 

 negcrly all of them have been more or 

 less checked and in some cases the 

 leaves were getting quite dry until re- 

 lieved by the showers of July 5. There 

 is absolutely no subsoil moisture and 

 good general rains or frequent showers 

 will be necessary to pull the crops 

 through the balance of July and the 

 moffSh of August. 



TjMfeiquash and pumpkin crops in Ne- 

 bras%Cl»- have nearly all shown a good 

 growth, but have been' damaged more 

 or lofs by the cut worms, squirrels and 

 striped beetles, causing replanting in 

 some cases. These crops also have suf- 

 fered from the extremely hot weather, 

 wilting during the npMle of the day, 

 but we believe the most of them were 

 also relieved by the r^s of July 5. 



The muskmelon and watermelon 

 crops in the southwest vange from poor 

 to fairly good stands, according to their 

 being planted about the time of the 

 early rains or later, the later planted 

 crops showing poor stands or not com- 

 ing up on account of the dry conditions. 

 We have received some reports stating 

 there were showers the latter part of 

 June and we trust the muskmelon and 

 watermelon crops will show improve- 

 ifnent and with sufficient moisture the 

 balance o^^^^^e season make fair crops. 



The cucumber, melon and squash 

 crops being grown under irrigation in 

 the vicinity of Rocky Ford are some- 

 what late and will average about two- 

 thirds of a stand on account of the 

 cold, backward spring and, lack of 

 wjgltf early in the season. We under- 

 staAd quite a large acreage being 

 grown for some of the eastern houses
