Our advice TO Kansas wool growers is

get higher prices than are now obtain

& Co., of Boston, refer in their month

accounts received of tho favorable con-
dition of Kansas wool this season.
There are thousands of sheep i'm this

or all the considerable number Of
sorts of winter wheat successfully
grown in Kansas, none have proved so
popular and useful as the Early Red
May. Other sorts have been found,
like the Fultz andIancastcr, which gave
in particular seasons, q stronger growth
of straw and larger yield Of grain; and
a still smaller number of other kinds,
like the Golden Straw and Gold Medal,
yielded winter and more handsome
-four. But comparison of the Early
May, during number of years, with
any other sort that VIC have yet seen in
Kansas, has invariably been to the
great advantage to the former. Many
efforts have been made to supplant the
old popular Kansas sort. Al one time
We lave been assured triumphantly
that the Fultz would accomplish this
at another the superiority Of the Med
itcrrancan or Red Chat, has been pos
itivcly asserted; but we have noticed
that communities in which these sorts
have been tried for a length OF time, re.
turn quite hastily to the cultivation Of
Of Il, Red May. We remember hear
ing one of the large wheat growers of
Of this State remark some years ago,
of large number Of kinds of winter
wheat, that, had he grown only the
Red May, he should have been wise
but richer man by several thousand
dollars.
The superiority of this sort Of wheat
for Kansas has been strikingly shown
by the experience of the past six months
for, if the published reports Ofthe con-
diticn Of the crop in different sections
of the State may be trusted. the Red
May has been less injured than any 9TH
or sort, by the severe weather Of the
past winter. The reason of this gen-
cral superiority Of this variety Of wheat
for Kansas is no difficult 10 explain,
when We take into account the habits
Of the plant and the peculiarities Of our
Kansas climate, so far as wheat raising
is concerned, is the spring months. in
deed proper spring weather which
more or less, prevails in Michigan and
Iowa from February until the middle
Of May, is all but unknown in Kansas.
our winter is no sooner past than the
summer heats are upon us. This gives
our wheat almost no time to filler aud
gcneally strengthen itself. Almost
from the day that the .frosts have left
the ground, the sun and elements ply
whip and spur to the wheat plant,
driving it to the harvest carly in
June.
Under such climate conditions, any
of the large, slow growing sorts are
almost certain to fail. The season does
not give the time needed to properly
mature them and the result is a thin
growth Os straw, bearing heads poorly
filed with shrivcIed grain of a peculiar
course, hard texture. This has been
the result of our experience with the
Clawson, Wicks, Silver Chat and other
sorts. For general cultivation in Kan
sas, the small, early, rapid growing rad
sorts will give best results, because they
can keep step with the season. 1t is be-
cause it possesses these qualities. COM
binec with grcar hardness that the
Early Red May has proved the Kansas
farmers chief reliance.
