turned from visit to Kansas re-
ports that the small grain crop
in Kansas and southeastern Ne

green bug will go to the corn
fields as soon as it completes its
devasting work in the wheat
fields. Mr.. Whitehead states
that he was informed that the
condition of the wheat in Okla
homa is even worse than in Kan
sas as there is scarcely a field
that will be harvested.

closed and those teachers who
live at distance gone to their
homes a little incident that
occurred in one of the rooms one
day last winter may not cause
the lady instructor to blush.
