tend not to feel any.
Winter killing does not figure in the crop
reports as much as it used to, for the
wheat is drilled in now and not sown
broadcast, but there are conditions, usu-
ally drought with intense cold, which will
affect even tn emodern drilled wheat field
If the west is ont getting intense cold now
it never has had any. Kansas City and
st. Louis keep claiming that the snow
covering generally is light. in great many
places blown off parts of the field, and that
the present low temperature Will certainly
disclose damage when the mild days of
March come. Michigan has already officl-
ally reported crop damage. The Price
Current in its crop remarks yesterday said
that late sown wheat had probably suffer-
ed some injury.
But it is all a matter Of snow.

LATER BLOSSOMS Miss sss mVEII BETWEEN Az2

Zoe Anderson Norris. formerly Of this

in literature in New York City. She has
just had published in Every Month New

The minister motioned 10 the girl to sing.
She arose, tall and slender. against the
stained-glass window in the hall. her
hands at her sides, her large gray eyes
glancing carelessly over the heads Of the
crowd before her. She was Cir who had
come up from a little country town to the
city for the purpose of cultiyating her
voice. The minister. friend of her faith
er, employed her when he could TO sing at
private funerals where he officiated. Thus,
accustomed to death. she was not awed by
its trappings Her pose was the perfec-
ton Of tranquility. The prismatic colors

Kansas is just between the two principal
botanical surveys OF the United States.
All of the country east of the Mississippi
has been carefully gone over several
times and all flowers classified In the
west, however the general classifying
has been mostly in the Rockies, Colorado
and other more western parts. Missouri
and Kansas use principally the botany
of the country east of the Mississippi,
with only occasional references TO the
Rocky mountain botany, as their fora
more nearly correspond to the eastern
fora There is also a small Kansas bot

characteristic TO Kansas.
Many of our commoneSt wild flowers
have strong medicinal qualities. others
are edible. The well known poke-weed
so often considered poisonous. is culti-
waited in France and its leaves used as
greens. In the southern part of the
United States II is said that the children
are fond of the berries. Purslain is also
edible. In Europe many different kinds
have been developed from the original
wild variety and in places their cultva-
ton has become an industry.
Sweet Cicely is excellent for the flavor
ing of soups, but owing to its remarkable
resemblance to a very poisonous plant it
is not safe to use ii. Shepherds purse

said to improve greatly with cultivation;
the seed pods, which is the principal part
used, then reach great size.

False spikenard, or false Solomon s
seal, grows to a height of one to one and
a half feet and bears az the summit of a
leafy stem a racine of small white flow
ers. The leaves are large and glossy. The
spiderworts, Of which the blue variety is
the most common, are found in profusion
where the ground is somewhat moist. Of
the mallows there are three varieties.
two with white, pink-tiped petals, and
the red. The mallows are all low, re-
Ginning plants. The flowers of the earli-
est variety are not quite an inch in diam
eter. The leaves above are nearly heart
shape. those below lobed. The plant grows
only about four inches high. The leaves
are spreading. The other pink variety
grows eight inches high, the leaves are
fewer and smaller, some having wavy
outlines The blossoms are more than an
inch in diameter The red maHow. or

on Kansas soil and is among the prettiest
wild flowers. The flowers are purplish
red, the leaves cut or lobed.
The butter and squaw weeds are coarse
plants growing about one foot high. The
flowers are yellow and belong to the COM
posite family. These two varieties are
very similar, there being only a slight
difference in the leaves at the base of the
stem.
The four-o' clock resembles the tame
species of the same name, and grows
about the same height. The flowers are
smaller, only about half an inch in di-
ameter, and the stems Of individual flow
ers are shorter. The flowers are a. Pc

Many Of the commonest weeds, veritable
pests to farmers, have flowers which are
most interesting to botanists. These are
frequently small and difficult TO analyze.
Though they may be inconspicuous, yet
when placed under the microscope show
great beauty in symmetry and perfectness
of each tiny part. Larger flowers and
those not so common are more noticed
and admired by people in general unless
interested in botany.
One Of the daintiest wild flowers is the
anemone. or wind-aower. which grows
profusely on many Of the fields in spring
time. It has from fifteen to twenty petals
either blue or delicate purple in color.
These close at night, but reopen on the
following morning. The petals are lost
easily, hence the name ''wind-ffOwer.'
There are two varieties of the sorrel,
purple-pink and yellow in color These
belong TO the geranium family. The blue
eyed-grass bears delicate blue five-petai-
ed flowers near the top of a grass-Hke
stem. Each petal has a dot Of yellow
at its base, hence the name ''eyed-grass. 80
The vetch belongs 10 the pea family and
bears a blue blossom. The leaves are
compound, borne on a somewhat trailing
stem. The false indigo plants are also
of this family. There are two varieties.
The yellow indigo is somewhat the
earlier, grows from six TO eight inches
in height, and has compound leaves. In
dividuaI blossoms are arranged in racemes
on the main stem. The blue false indi-
go grows to a height OF two feet and
bears indigo-blue blossoms. 1t is other
wise similar to the yellow variety.

AROTT THE WHEAT

The latest snow reports received by the
weather Office show there is a little snow
on the ground in Michigan, Ohio and south
ern Indiana, but that Kansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Illinois. Kentucky, Tennessee
and Texas have had so slight precipita-
ton of late that the ground IS, except in
few localities, almost bare.
The weather map is the first considera-
ton now with wheat traders Because
there was intense cold through Kansas,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Ken
lucky and Tennessee yesterday the wheat
price advanced almost cents for the new
crop future. II is largely question of
snow or no snow, and to decide how much
Of that is spread over the vast wheat area
is not an easy matter. 4 winter wheat
field well covered with snow is assumed
10 be proof against anything which can
be sent against il from the Medicine Hat
district. Winter grain unprotected by its
natural snow blanket is not likely TO es-
cape the sort of trials It is now going
through. It was y below yesterday as
far south as Louisville; 10 below at the
southern tip Of Illinois, Cairo; 4 below in
the usually balmy territory around Nash
Vile and below at Washington. These
are more significant figures for the wheat
man than the As below which was on ex-
hibition up in northern Minnesota.
The professional speculator is a slleptic
as TO wheat damage from cold; talks Of
its being a winter plant gotten up TO stand
winter hardships. But the southwest,
which grows most Of the winter-sown
grain. was buying all day yesterday. and
it was not doing that without reason. st.
Louis IS apt in getting in advance the
status Of the grain which grows ali around
it. St Louis began buying wheat at the
opening yesterday and kept it up TO the

A few evenings ago the senior and junior
classes Of the high school were to have a
long talked exciting game Of polo on the
ice Of the river over in the park. II
was all planned in detail and feeling ran
high by the girls who were to champion
their respective heroes Of the two oppos-
ing armies. The spirit OF warlike prowess
inspired the young men to do their best
for their class and carry off all the honor
to be drained out of cold nights frosty
kckup with refrigeration. No doubt it
would have been an exciting game and
every one had a nice time, only just at
the last minute both Of the class leaders
and captains fell in through the ice, and
after having their bedraggled and Jelly
drenched forms fished out they were taken
home on q. switch engine and the game
postponed amidst considerable lattening
out of enthusiasm on the part of the girls
who were huddled around on the shore
