THE KANSAS WHEAT Crop.

Reports From aft Sections Show Hcsvy
Losses by Frost and Other Causes c
TOPEKA, April 5.-Secretary Sims, oil
the state board Of agriculture, furnished
the following summary of his crop re-
port for the month ending the 31st inst.
1.-THE light yield and unsatisfactory
price of winter wheat for 1885, together
with the unfayorable condition at seeding
time caused reduction in the area sown
last fall, as compared with 1884, Of about
Is per cent. The greater part OF this
loss is found to be in the heavy wheat
growing district in the central portion oil
the state, known as "the wheat belt
The counties of Dickinson, Saline, Ms
Pherson, Marion, Sedgwick and Sumner,
six of the largest wheat producing coun-
ties OF the state, show loss as COM
pared with the areas sown in 1884, OF
10000 acres, while all the other coun-
ties lying within the belt, with the ex-
ception of Russell, Ellsworth, Rice and
Ottawa, have lost heavily.
"The eastern third of the state, less no.
ted for wheat culture, has also reduced
its area materially, but the loss as COM
pared with that shown by the reports
from the central belt is not very impor-
tant. In the west increased areas have been
sown. Reports from the section, where
the acreage has been and still remains
small, show the area sown last fall to be
largely in excess of any former period.
As rule, farmers delayed seeding last
fall much beyond the usual period. The
seed terminated well, however, but late
and while the plant grew well in Novem-
Der and December it was too feeble at
the beginning of winter to withstand the
unusually cold weather of January and
FEBRUARY, and the early sown fields in
some of the large wheat growing dis
tricts has been seriously injured by the
Hessian fly.
Asummary Of the reports from 480 cor
respondents, representing every organic
ed county and some of the unorganized,
showing the condition of the crop April 1,
clearly indicates that at least 40 per cent
of the wheat sown in Kansas last fall has
been killed. The loss in the central part
of the state, where the greater part of the
wheat is grown, is very heavy, ranging
in the different counties from 80 to 80
per cent; in the eastern counties from 20
to 80 per cent, and in the west from 5 to
10 per cent. The reports also show the
condition of the live plants to be 20 per
cent below the vitality and growth of
average years at the period under con-
sideration April 1. A summary of the
loss in the area sown, as compared with
1884, of 16 per cent winter killed or
death from other causes 40 per cent.
The area from which product may be
expected, as compared with the vitality
and growth of average years at this date,
is 80 per cent"

FARM NOTES.

If you do not know what the potato
land needs, apply complete fertilizers till
you find out. A ton of potash might be
spread upon the land without any result.
Plants, like human beings, need COM
plete food. On some soils single ele-
ment will make the food complete, while
in others several must be applied. 1t
does not pay to experiment upon the
whole piece with a single element.
Every farmers wife, says Mrs. A. G..
Chandler, knows how hard it is to get
the husband to spade up the garden.
The best way to overcome this difficulty
is to move the garden operations out in
to the potato patch. Plant the vegetables
there, in rows, where they can be cult
waited by horse power. By putting the
garden out there, cleaner culture will be
insured.
The notion common among farmers
in some sections that all plants which
are to grow upwards corn or wheat
must, in order to prosper, have their
seeds put in when the moon is waxing;
while all that grow downwards-like
beets and parsnips-must have the seeds
put down in the waning of the moon,
has, according to Prof. G. A. Young,
never been verified by science, though
it has tried to do so.
The ounce is too much neglected. It
is about as easy to grow as the pear,
but it needs manure, and not fence-cor-
ner attention. Good ounces usually
sell at high rates as compared with 9TH
er fruits though that doubtless is be-
cause they are scarce, and not in de-
mand for eating out of the hand. The
market would probably break down if
ounces were as plentiful as apples, but
there is little danger Of the supply ever
becoming thus over-abundaDt.
There is difficulty in storing soft corn
in large lots, as it easily moulds and be-
comes injurious to stock and sometimes
even poisonous. It is believed that many
cases of sickness in cattle and hogs are
due to feeding rotten or moldy corn. As
soft corn cannot be ground readily the
best use of it is to feed it whole to fat
tening or mich cattle early in the season.
1t is better for feeding whole to these
than the hard ears, while the latter are
much the best for hogs.
Duorht and lack of availab lie food
are the two great enemies of great yields
of potatoes. The latter can be supplied
by fertilizers. we cannot control the
seasons. By means of mulching, We can
reserve moisture to be used by the plant
during the dry season. It is evident
that the tuber takes no part in the nourish-
ment of the plant, but that it must be
nourished by the plant and its roots. The
tuber is SO largely made up of water
that any lack of supply checks the growth
materially.
The common practice Of ploughi1g at
the same depth every year is apt to make
a hard pan by packing the soil below
where the share scrapes over it. II this
depth is varied occasionally the hard pan
will be broken up, and this also is good
reason for deeper ploughing than usual
sometimes. This extra depth of furrow,
however, should be made when the SUBJ
soil is dry. To pillow deep in spring
when the soil packs from being filed
with water only makes the evil worse. In
fact, heavy soil should not be ploughed
at all when water-soaked, as this often
