Before this snow reached the great
plains country in the western part Of
Kansas, the newspapers reported q
falling Of snow in the eastern and
central part OF the state The storm
kept extending westward, and was
first heralded in Sherman county by
the old sign OF the ring around the

a heavy coating Of frost upon any
thing il could stick to. The telegraph
and telephone wires were loaded down
with a crystal covering. More and

The snow Of Tuesday was the sec

this fall and winter. On October 2S
and %. a heavy wet snow Of more
than four inches fell, which was fol-
lowed by a severe freezing spell, and
subsequently warm weather that melt
ed the snow and it soaked down into
the ground. The prospects for IA
yOrable crop conditions next year were
never better at this time Of year.
Wheat that was put in last fall came
up and made a nice showing, and
ground that was prepared for spring
seeding IS full Of moisture.
Although the farmers Of this cOun-
ty have scarcely made an end Of their
labOrS in attending to the mammoth
crop they harvested last season, and
realizing that the wheat crop Of 1905
was a thing not met with every year,
yet they see another big crop in pros
pect for 1906. They have been prop
erly schOOled in the signs Of the west,
and the present good signs together
with their increasing knowledge Of
successful methods Of agriculture, en-
ables them to predict a good time
coming for next season. This means
more wheat" said a very successful
wheat grower the other day. when his
attention was called to the bountiful
snow IT'S getting so it's hard to beat
US out Of a wheat crop any longer in
this part of the state" he added;
success here is simply in blowing and
dragging working right, working
like they do in Iowa and Illinois,
where, bless you, they often have to
work a soil mulch to retain sufficient
moisture to mature their crops But
this western land is much easier titled
than theirs; they viii always have to
work harder for their money than we
will for ours, and year in and year
out, our crops will be as certain"
