Edmond Times: There is quite "hot
wind" discussion being carried on by
Kansas newspapers at this time, and var
ious theories being advanced. The Kan
sas City papers. as we'll as many of the
Kansas papers, insist that If the
Oklahoma country be opened up and
placed under cultivation the day of hot
winds will be over with. Now we have

that country be put under the pillow it
will not affect the winds that occasional

'ur lands occupied and opened up and
growing here and there over the country

ahoma is ever settled or not. The vast
.xpanse of buffalo grass that always rip
