Crops in Nebraska.

There is a broad smile on the fice of nearly every farmer in Nebraska, because of the satisfactory crop conditions in that remarkable State. In the Northwest, drouth has seriously injured the wheat yield. In the South again there has been more or less damage, but in Nebraska they have had seasonable, heavy rains, and not too much of them. A full crop of oats and wheat will, from present indications, be fbllowed by a bumper crop of corn. During the past week heavy rjiins all over the State have put thia crop in fine condition, and it msy break the record. The expectation is that great numbers of people will go to Nebraska this fall, when the cheap harvest excursion rates are in effect, to investigate the country and confirm by actual experience the stories of prosperity so often beard. The tendency is on the part of renters, everywhere in the Rast, to seek homes beyond the Missouri River, where land is cheap and so very productive.
