KILLING FROST FEARED.
Corn Injured In Northwestern Tier OF Coun'
ties In Kansas--Only Ten Days More
Of Warm Weather Wanted.

Topeka, Kan, Sept 17.-Tempera-
lures in Kansas last night were from
five to 10 degrees lower than Tuesday
night and a heavy frost on the corn
in the northern, eastern and central
portions Of the state was practically
certainty on account of the clear
skies. From Concordia, Abilene, Sa-
lima, Phillipsburg and Newton came
the report that the temperature was
very low and another frost was expect
ed. The frost Tuesday night damaged
corn In the northwest and with more
last night the crop will receive q great
setback. In eastern and central Kan
sas the farmers do not expect the corn
to be ruined by last nights frost, but
II will make the yield Of an inferior
quality. Ten more days Of sunshine
would have insured q good crop.
In Salina the temperature was only
four degrees above freezing. There,
however, the skies are cloudy and the
frost may not be so severe.
At Wichita the thermometer fell to
~ degrees and continued to fall In
that vicinity, but no killing frosts ap-
peared.

TO AVOID THE FLY.
Farmers Delaying Wheat Sowing fol
This and Other Reasons.

The Kansas farmer is busy nowadays
studying out means of preventing
Hessian fly invading his wheat field
the coming season. Some OF the
farmers express the opinion that the
late flood put the pest out OF business.
Others laugh at this idea and claim
that the fly is in hiding and will be
doing business at the old stand as
usual next year. Still other men who
have spent their lives at wheat rails
ing say that the fly can be cir
cum vented by planting late. This
suggestion has been seriously con-
sidered by great many Of the
wheat growers Of Dickinson and other
counties In the wheat belt and 1t is
possible that it will, to q certain ex-
tent, be considered in the planting OF
this years crop. The other side OF
the story is that early sown seed will
result 10 better crop, and that 1t 10
better to run the risk Of the fly than
to run the riak Of poor field.
Early sown wheat In the Central
and Western sections Of the state 10
valuable for fall and winter pasture.
Some Of the farmers claim that when
they SOW wheat early the pastures
pay even II the wheat fails to make q
good crop the next harvest. The fly
never deposits any eggs after frost
and the farmers generally will SOW
their wheat after the first freeze. A
number Of Dickinson county growers
however, have already begun sowing.
The indications are, however, that
the acreage will be reduced owing to
the delay caused by abundant farm
work and lack OF help in many places.
