SUMMER HEAT ON THE PRAIRIEs
Hot Rays and Dry Winds which
Test Physical Endurance.

Wichita (Kan) Letter in New York
Evening Post.
Days like these on the open prairie
West are trials of physical endurance.
apt to turn the heart of tenderfoot
against the beauty of his surround
irgs. The sun swelters out ones am
bition, waves of heat NOV down the
green grass, and the yellow, scared
corn puts hope below par. Heat on the
prairie West, is vastly different from
that in New York. 1t is less dangerous
to human life, but more deadly in its
effect upon all vegetation. This is be-
cause of the absence of humidity out
here. The wind finds a full sweep over
the wide plains-often 1t is a hot wind,
too, which is more detested than well
coined. But 1t is a breeze, neverthe-
less and, if ones face is famed by
wind, he can swelter through a fur
mace heat and survive.
Summer in prairie life begins in
July. The boom of the cannon is al
ways a welcome sound to the farmer,
for, geneally, a dry spell has then be-
gun, and rain, he believes, is sure to
follow the Fourth. This year farmers
of Southern Kansas collected large
sums of money among themselves, and
spent it in cannonading. Their hope
was to bring rain. AS night fell, no
clouds appeared. Groups of discour-
aged farmers drove across the hot sod
and talked over the prospects of
corn crop. Indeed, II seemed poor
enough unless rain fell soon. At mid
night the clouds gathered, and at two,
one-quarter of an inch of water cover

Next morning one could not have no

amount of rain does little good in a
drought. When the soil becomes well
heated, heavy rainfall for two days
will do no more than moisten II.
Men here wear big straw hats and
loose thin clothing. They would go
barefoot, but the earth is too hot for
their flesh TO touch. Leaves from the

at least. This scheme of keeping the
head cool is repeated several times in
the forenoon, oftener towards three

Is hottest. In the afternoon. however.
the wind dies down on the prairie. and
generally. from one to three o'clock,
little work is done in the open. The
waves of heat can be seen. dancing
across the open plains. and birds and
animals of all kinds seek the shade. In
the towns, nearly all business is
brought to a standstill on a hot sum-
mer afternoon. In the country little
work is done. except In harvest time.
