Winter Killing and Drouth
Causes Shortage in Kan
sas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,, But Conditions Are
Fine in Rest of South
west" Group.
BY r. j. TANNER,

Editor of Daily Drovers Telegram.
KANSAS CITY, May 19.-The
group of states known agricultur-
ally and commercially as the south
west. comprising Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska. Iowa, Oklahoma and
Texas, may this year fall below it's
record of 40 per cent in the total
production of winter wheat.
This recession will be attribut-
able chiefly to the disastrous re-
suits of winter killing in Missouri,
Nebraska and Kansas, especially in
the latter state.
In December Kansas had pros
pect of loo, 900 900 bushels of wheat
but winter killing and drouth have
reduced the promise to $4,000 eco
or $4,000, 900 bushels. Large areas
in the most important producing
counties of the central region of
Kansas have been plowed up, and
the eastern half of the state will
have short yield. In 1909 Kansas
harvested 100000 bushels of
wheat, and for many years it has
been the banner winter wheat state.
The damage to wheat in Missouri
is mostly in $he Mississippi river
bottoms This state is expected to
have between IS 100000 and 20,000,-
600 bushels, as against 2S,000,000
bushels last year.
Nebraska, according to good au-
thorities, will raise 40.000,000 bush
els, or 100000 less than in 1909.
Iowa, whose production includes
a good deal of spring wheat, is set
down for 5000, 600 to 1000 GOO bush
els. or about the normal yield.
In Oklahoma there is the best
wheat prospect in several years,
the crop having escaped the
troubles from which the more north
ern states suffered. Oklahoma is
likely to harvest between 100000
and 20,000,000 bushels, as compared
with 12.202, 900 last season.
Texas, which had almost a wheat
failure in 1863, harvesting only
100000 bushels, promises this
year a yield about equal TO that of
Oklahoma.
The total area soWn to wheat in
the six states is 1865, 900 acres, or
about 100000 more than were har
vested a year ago.
Recent rains have been greatly
beneficial to wheat in all of the
states mentioned, although the pre-
cipitation was inadequate in many
parts of Kansas and Nebraska. The
bad effects OF drouth this spring
were mitigated by the unusual
quantity of reserve moisture held
in the soil since early winter.
For those who take the darker
view of the crop losses in the south
west there is the comforting fact
that conditions have favored the
seeding of spring crops, which are
likely to more than make up for any
deficiency in the yield of wheat.
A big acreage of oats is growing
nicely, and corn planting hos pro-
crossed as far north as Nebraska.
1t is believed that the corn acreage
will be as large as last year, when
only the drouth of August prevent
ed a record yield in the various
states, particularly Kansas. Pas
lures are excellent. and a month
earlier than common.
