, been compelled to rush their live stock d
market and dispose of il at a sacrifice.
In many Of the counties OF this section
not a drop of rain had fallen since April I
until last week. when the unprecedented
period of drought was broken by a gener-
Gus downpour. Almost four months of the
torrid summer season without moisture. and
during the most of this time the mercury
Of the thermometer was cutting capero
above the century mark.
Small wonder that the freshness Of this
garden spot should DE transformed into the
dreary desolation of the desert. &
So thorough has been the work of the sun
and winds that the beautiful farmhousss
and great barns which adorn almost every
"quarter-section' Of this splendid country
seem almost out OF place in the center Of
their dreary surroundings.
Even the beautiful groves of maple and
cottonwood timber which surround nearly
every farmhouse and add such beauty and
variety to the landscape have lost their
verdant foliage. their withered and Ieaness
branches bearing silent witness to the de-
structive work. =.
In many localities damaging fires have
swept over the fields and burned AWAY the
last vestisc of living vegetation. =
Miles and miles Of fences surrounding
these fields have been burned. and in many
cases the great stack yards" of unthrashed
wheat in the paths of these confiagrations
have been completely destroyed. In some
cases the wheat has been burned as 1t stood
In the shr"k thus completing the final and
irremedlatle ruin of the last OF the farm

to stand the loss which the destruction of
their crops this year has entailed upon
them. But they are unused to crop fail
ures, and look upon the present one as a
disastrous calamity. Only once before in
half a century has the crop failure in this
section been anywhere near as general and
complete as the present one.
The loss this year in Kansas by reason
Of the dearth of rainfall Is officially esti-
mated at something over s1oc. OD0,0Ce. most
of which will be borne by the farmers Of the
northeast section.
Contrary to customary conditions. the
precipitation this year has been confined to
the central-western section of the State.
Usually il Is the inhabitants OF the west
ern prairie counties who experience the
hardships of droughts and crop failures. but
this year the situation is reversed. and the
farmers Of the usually favored and pros
porous eastern section are made to feel the
effect of these unfortunate conditions.

this season of the year have been COW

Among all of the different sections of the
country which have been more or less af-
fected by the recent extended period OF
drought no particular locality has suffered
more severely, and sustained. by reason Of
the destruction of growing crops. a greater
financial loss, than the eastern half Of Kan
sas. Especially is this true OF the north
ern part Of this section. TIL northeastern
portion OF Kansas is an ideal spot for farm
ing purposes. One can scarcely conceive OF
a country which could he possessed OF
greater natural agricultural advantages.
Those whose ideas of this great agricultural
State have been formed through newspaper
