THESTAIE EOf THE CROPS.
Effects Of The Weeks Weather on The
GrowirG plautS.

| cHSCIS OF lnS ~ Seh's weather Oh no
GrowirG Plants.
WASHINGTON, June l3.-The signal
service weather crop bulletin for the
week says:
Temueratures have been below norm
al in all districts, except in the lake
region, New England and Gulf States,
where it has been normal or slightly
above. The greatest departure from
normal has been degrees in Virginia,
Iowa, Kansas and on the North Pacific
coast. There have been no marked eN-
tremes Of temperature during the week
and the general temperature conditions
have been favorable to plant life.
AS anticipated last week copIous rams
broke the drought in the East and Mid
die GulfShtes. The maximum raintalls
are reported as follows: Waynesboro,
Ga, 81 inches; Gainesville and Toccoa.
Ga, 4.2inches; Augusta, Ga, 3.S3 inches.
The only portions of the country where
| no rain has fallen are Middle New Eng
land, the middle plateau region and in
South California. Rainfall was one inch
below normal in Wisconsin Iowa ana
two inches above normal in Tennessee
and il northern portions of Alabama
and Georgia.
Arkansas Crop prospects materially
improved during the week. Corn delay
ed by late planting. Cotton looks we'll.
Oats and wheat now being harvested
show better results than expected.
Texas: Cotton and corn very pronls-
ing. Wheat crop hest ever grown.
Other crops good, except suffering from
lack of rain on the Gulf coast.
Louisiana: Drought broken. Cotton,
corn and sugar cane backward, but now
growing rapidly. Rains too late for
gradens. Rice crop small on account Of
dry weather.
Mississippi: AS anticipated last week
the drought has been broken by copious
rains. All conditions are more favora-
BILE than for month. The crops are
small and late, but taking rapid growth.
Alabama: The rains have been bene-
fetal to corn, cotton and oats. Gardens
are doing well.
Tennessee: Crops are greatly lmprov-
ed. Wheat harvesting is delayed by
rain and wind. Cotton prospects i'm
proved, but still are poor. Tobacco Is
promis 'ng.
South Carolina: Plentiful rain well
distributed has been beneficial to all
crops. Lack Of sunshine has been
slightly injurious to cotton. In some
localities hail has damaged crops, COM
pelling replanting.
North Carolina-Weather decidedly
cool and unfayorable to cotton, which is
reported poor. An abundant wheat
harvest has begun and many crops are
overrun with weeds.
Virginia-Crop conditions are good.
Corn is in excellent condition. Rust is
reported in some wheat fields. Fruit is
in good condition. Throughout the win
ter grain section and western corn belt
conditions are reported variably.
The weather is too dry in Pennsyl-
vanla, New Jersey, New York, and New
England for anything but winter grain,
which promises well. Corn is also SUI
fering some. but the average is good.

ticipated in a measure and to
an extent that would have
supplied any ordinary demand. This
however, has been an extraordinary sea-
son, and the result is that the farmers OF
the state, almost without exception, are
short on help, and unless there shall be
large increase in the supply of farm labor
by or before husking time it will be i'm
possible to harvest the great corn crop OF
the state that is now made beyond per-
adventure.
Farm laborers in other states that may
be idle from any cause can find ready
and good paying employment in Kansas
in large numbers from now on through
out the season, and there need be no ap-
prehension of failure to find work or
that more will come than can find work.
Kansas is indeed a land of plenty, in
Guiding labor for all who want to work
with hands. We have an overplus of
jawsmiths already and there is no room
for more of that sort.

KANSAS INVITATION.

From the Topeka Capital
The railroads confer valuable favor

A TRIP TO GEUDA.
And what was seen on the way and a:
the Springs.
GILBERT HOTEL, GEUDA SPRINGS. !

GILBERT HOTEL, GEUDA SPRINGS, !
July 81, 1891.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Our overland trip to Geuda Springs
proved to be a delightful one. Leaving
Wichita in the afternoon of Saturday,
July 18th, the drive was made to Null
vaGe; leaving Mulvane Saturday morn
ing drove to Oxford for dinner, then on
to Geuda in the afternoon arriving here
tor supper. Mr.. Whittier and myself
enjoyed the trip very much. To those
who enjoy driving, a more delightful
trip could not not be suggested, especial
" when made about this time of the year
or week or two earlier.
Over the entire distance as far as the
eve could reach was one vast grain field,
and such corn. In several fields the ears
had dropped away from the stock and
the silk had begun 20 turn. In one field
was counted twenty-five stacks of wheat.
On number of the farms were neat,
petty and roomy residences, with large,
spacious and numerous out buildings.
The hedges well trimmed, the corn
free from weeds, and the stock all look
ing in splendid condition. Upon inquiry
in every case it was found that these
farms showing such Improvements were
the property Of men who understood
farming and who carried their kDowl-
edge into execution by hard work, and
not the calamity howlers who do hardly
any work except with their jaws, and
then to the disgust generally Of their
hearers.
Well. now for the springs. There are
quite a number here seeking health,
rest and recreation; especially q number
OF Wichita people; also many from
Winfield, Wellington, Arkansas City.
and from the Oklahoma cities. As to
the Wichita people the law Is repre-

The Health of Young Girls.

The health of every girl should be pre-
cious in he- mothers eyes, too precious 70

whatever. You mold her character; let
that mold her face, and God will take care
of her figure. Don't put her into stiff cor
sets, | beg Of you, nor drag her down with
| heavy skirts about her hips. We all dress
our girls sensibly, with clothing suspended
from the shoulders and with low heeled
shoes, until about the time when we should
most surely see that no undue weight or
pressure interfere with the perfect devel-
opment of the form when there comes a
change. The girl has hips now, and Of
course they must have been meant 70 hold
up her skirts.
She is beginning to taper at the waist,
which is thought TO indicate that she needs
help in that direction, and corset IS
brought forward. Her heightened figure
requires further frightening, and we add
half an inch or so 70 the heels of her shoes.
If she is blessed with almost superhuman
powers of endurance, she may reach the
age OF thirty and become mother without

FARM LABOR NEEDED.

The most serious Inconvenience expe-
Jienced this season by the farmers OF
Kansas, and one that still exists. has been
n scarcity Of labor. Impressed in the
outset that this would lee a fruitful year.
the farmers planned for, and planted.
larger crops than usual. They knew of
the fertility of the soil aud its phenome-
nal produciveness under ordinary condi-
tons, and while they were aware that
they were over-reaching the capacity of
what labor they had or was to be secured
at the time of planting, yet they hoped
that by the time the harvest begun the
reports Of the great crops that would
necessarily be sent out broadcast over
the country would have the effect of in
ducing au influx of labor from without
into the state in time TO save the matur-
ng crops. This has been as an
