country to the southern boundary of
Oklahoma. The rain fell in torrents
from early Friday evening until mid

which formed at a point near the
Kansas state line and just on the coun-

Wheat Fields Devastated
Wichita. Kan, June 1O.-A CORE.
spondent who has arrived here from
the scene of devastation in Kay coun-
ty, Oklahoma, says that the storm of
& Friday night ruined the wheat crop
of 400 farms west and northwest OF
Blackwell These farms are all in
one body of territory. The farmers,
who had purchased twine and har.
vest machinery, are asking the local
dealers to take them back, and the
dealers have referred the matter to
the factories. The loss of crops will
cause no distress, as the farmers are
in good condition financially, owing
to succession of good crops during
the past five seasons.
