Nebraska Loses Much Corn.

No rain has fallen in Nebraska for & month. Reports received by the State Board of Agriculture from each county in the State and carefully tabulated show that th'e drought has cost Nebraska very nearly the whole of its late corn crop, estimated by the board to be between 75,009,000 and 100,000,000 bushels. At least half of this quantity is conceded to be beyond relief. However, the hot weather matured the early corn crop and 300,000,000 bushels of it is beyond dangei from heat or frost.
