Times ftport of the conditions of the
crop aluhg the Santa Fe road are as
| follows:
| GaEESsBURo, Kan, MAY IA light rain
that was much needed fell here Wednesday
| hight, and wheat ia in fair esndition consider
| ing the dry weather. II there are heaty rains
during the coming week wheat will pull through
all right and the crop will be an average one
The dry season haa had q serious effect upon
| the corn jrss planted 1t has not begun to
sprout and farrcers feel pretty blue for the
prospects do not even point TO a fair yield
WICHITA, Kan, May l2-This spring has
| gone to the extresHes in dryaess and lack Of
faih. as previous springs have had more than
| ah abundant supply of rain Owing to the cor
| tfnued dry weather the wheat yield in this and
| adjoining counties cannot be more than one:
| third OF last years crop Oats are In the same
| condition that wheat Is, And unless there Is an
| immediate rainfall the crop will be ruined
Corn Is coming up badly on account OF the dry
ground The outlook Is not encouraging
| KINGMAN Kan, May IL This county has
about 81, 00) acres of wheat, and with favorable
| weather the yield will be about half a crop II
| rain does not come .ocr the wheat field will Be
| plo@ed Up and planted in corn The acreage OF
| corn is considerably less than that Of wheat
| and Is somewhat lighter than usual. Corn is
\ up and N fair condition.
| LAREED, Kan, May H. The acreage OF wheat
in this county was $3.50 !, but the yield will not
be more than three bushels to the acre because
| Of the prolonged drought AS there has been
| no rain to amount to ANYTHING during the
| spring the soil ~ too dry and hard for listing
corn. No corn is yet In sight and the pr6s.
poets for an average crop are not 1attering.
ELDoRADo Kan, May l2-General prospects
| are about an average and favorable weather
| will increase the yield considerably. The acre
| age of wheat will reach the usual number and
| prospects are favorable to yield OF 81 pei
| cent More corn has been planted than at the
| same time last spring and about three -four his
| of yield is q fair estimate OF the corn crop
| Oats are in good condition and the acreage is
about 10 per cent more than that Of last spring
WELLINGTON, Kan, May l2-The acreage 10
! wheat is the largest ever known in this county
| and the present prospects indicate half CROP
| Immediate faihs would swell the acreage more
than ne-foufth The lack Of rain is telling on
the corn crop. The corn that is up is very
small and much Of it is lying in the ground not
| sprouted Where wheat is bad some OF II ia
being plowed up and planted in corn, as there Is
| yet time for corn with the usual spring rains.
GARDEN CITY, Kan, May 12-Ths wheat
crop outlook in the surrounding territory is not
| at all discouraging During the last two weeks
local rains have covered about all this terri
| tory. The average y field wil,.not be under four
| teen bushels per acre. Good outlook for corn
| crop The fine rains this week have almost as
sured good, fair wheat crop
