DROUGHT IN KANSAS.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. eports from
oil parts OF the state show that the
prospect for the next years wheat crop
Is not very encouraging. In southern
and southeastern Kansas no rain has
fallen to speak Of for over two months
and the ground is very dry. In that
section the earth was SO hard that
farmers could not plow and were COM
PEELED to harrow the seed in on old
stubblcfields and those where the corn
had been cut and shocked The result
is there was not sufficient moisture to
cause all the grain to sprout Never
theless the crop will be fair with early
rains The central part Of the state
needs rain badly.
