CROPS IN WESTERN KANSAS.

From the Kansas Fnancier.
As the years have gone by since the
settlement of Kansas began, the line OF

steadily moved westward. 1t is u very

ern third is not broken enough yet to
overcome the old climatic operations.
ana it viii be many years before crop.
in that section Will be assured. year by
year, as thev are in the eastern third.
This year has on the whole proved an
exception to the rule, and in many local
tiles in western Kansas bounteous crops
have been harvested. This may encour-
age the farmers to believe that another
year will produce as well and the follow
ing year do no less. Such VIII only be
delusion. The general climate Is asyet
unchanged, and corn ana wheat viii not

continue 10 pay their attention to stock
raising and the harvesting Of forage
crops for many years. Irrigation Will
not be practical success for some time.
