LATE CORN MAY Be SAVED.
Livestock Situation is Serious from
Lack of Both Feed and Water.
DOUBLE THE PRICE OF MILK.

Topeka. July 16.-The fire depart

Lawrence Wichita and other of the
larger cities have addressed appeals
to the people. asking them to shut off
all their hydrants whenever the fire
whistle is blown There is not city
in the state which is able to cope
with fire with usual vigor- Buildings
have reached such an intense degree
of dryness that a fire will start on the
slightest provocation. and, once start
ed in some parts of the cities. enorm-
Gus losses would be sure to ensue-
Reports from the country districts
tell that all the streams are getting
low Mills and electric light plants
that were run by water power were
forced to close. Most OF the ponds
have been dry for two weeks, and the
question of where to obtain water for
stock is one of the most important
propositions that has confronted the
Kansas farmer for years.
As result. stock is being placed on
sale at ridiculously low prices
Reports from twenty-four Kansas
counties, mostly in the eastern and
central parts of the state, indicat
that the corn crop is not SO bad off as
has hitherto been published. The
late product has not yet begun to
tassel, and it is the general verdict
that it IS standing the heat reinarka-
bly, well. In some places the corn is
worse off than in others, but taking t
on an average of all the conditions
reported, it can be safely said that if
favorable weather conditions would
come at once, a half crop of corn
would be obtained. But the condi-
tions now are anything but propitious
for better weather.
The livestock situation is very bad
Dairy have been obi ged to double
the price of milk, SO high have the
prices of feed become.
