We had one of the heaviest rain
falls week ago last Friday afternoon.
after we had gone to press, ever known
in this section. The rain just poured
down, and the little brooks and creeks
were filled to overlooking in a little
while and the water spread over the low
fiat ground until it looked like a lake.
There was no great damage done, quite
an amount of fencing was washed away
in the river and creek bottoms as were
also number of little bridges and cul-
verts; one of the supports Of the railroad
bridge across Elm creek WAS washed out,
but construction train came down in
advance of the passenger Saturday eve
ming, and the damage was so far repair
ed that the evening train passed on.
The corn fields in the bottoms were COW
cred with water but no great injury was
done the corn as the creeks and river
soon ran down when the water disap-
peared from the fields.

SAND BURRS,

EDITOR REGIsTER:-The yellow bios
somed, rather pretty and innocent look
ing weed, which grows at present so pro-
fusely on the public square and other
localities about town is nothing less than
the notorious sand burr, of whose evil
reputation no doubt your readers have
heard. l do not remember ever to have
seen it in Kansas before; but this year
it has made its appearance simultane-
ously in many localities, and is spread
ing with great <apidity. When this
weed secures foothold it is among the
most persistent and annoying pests with
which the farmer has to contend. In
some localities in Illinois the people
have found it necessary to organize
war of determination against it, and
whole neighborhoods devote day to its
destruction. At present the plant seems
confined mainly to the towns and their
immediate vicinity, with the exception
of one which lady carefully dug up in
the public square and carried four or
five miles to plant in her garden. l
believe have seen none hereabouts out
side the corporate limits of lola. 1
therefore suggest that our people take
time by the forelock, and do themselves
and the neighboring farmers service by
such of these weeds as may
be found in their yards and gardens and
that our efficient street commissioner
perform the same service for those occu-
plying the streets and public SOU are.
And it should be done quickly before
any of the seeds mature or they will be
sure to come again, for there is nothing
in the vegetable kingdom so tenacious
of life as the seed of these same sand
burrs. Yours truly,

One of the early settlers of this
county last winter became disheartened
on account of having raised no corn the
year before and decided to move back to
Indiana where he knew he could raise
plenty of corn. The corn on one acre Of
the farm he left here in Kansas will be
worth more than his entire crop in In
diana. The first time he planted his
corn it failed to come up; the second
time he planted it it came up, but the
weeds came up with it and it has been
so wet ever since that he never got to
pillow it, and person unacquainted with
the fact to look at his corn fields would
never known they had been planted in
corn. You can't always sometimes tell
six months in advance where to 20 to
