What to Plant Where Wheat is Ruined
by Drouth

Throughout large portion of CEN
tral and western Kansas there is now
little prospect for wheat crop on
account of the severe and extended
drouth Some farmers are listing
their wheat fields and planting corn:
others are turning their live stock on
the wheat to secure a little pasture
before plowing or replanting.
RAINS LOCAL, ONLY SMALL YIELD OF
WHEAT POSSIBLE
Showers have fallen in parts of
western Kansas during the last week
but the rains were local; only light
showers have fallen at the Hays Ex-
pertinent Station and the wheat at
this station and in this locality is
certainly not in promising condition.
1t is not sail dead" but the stand is
thin, the stems are beginning to
shoot, and the fields are weedy. The
bottom leaves are dead, and even
with good rains and favorable grow
ing conditions there is only hope for
small crop; the straw will be very
short and the heads small.
MILLET AND COW PEAS
1t is question with many whether
it will pay to leave such wheat long
er if the ground can be used for grow
ing other crops. 1t is not too late to
plant corn of the earlier maturing va
rieties. Prefer western grown seed
if it can be secured.
Nov Drofor
Kafir and Dwarf Milo Maize for
grain crop, or sorgo Sweet sorghum)
or Kafir for forage. These crops may
be planted for seed production until
June 10 or Is, and for forage as late
as July 1st. Prefer early maturing
varieties of western grown seed.
A crop which succeeds well in west
ern Kansas is ''proso" or broom corn
millet. This crop may be planted
for grain product on as late as July
25 and not earlier than June Is.
Yields of this millet have been re-
ported as large as 80 bushels to the
acre. 1t also makes good forage.
COW PEAS
Cow peas may be grown for seed or
forage in favorable locations. The
crop is also an excellent fertilizer to
be used in rotation with wheat and
corn. Plant early maturing varie-
ties, such as New Era or Blackeye,
any time from May 25 to June 15.
For forage production, prefer to plant
with corn or Kafir. Send for Kansas
| Experiment Station bulletin No. 16O
| for further information regarding
methods of planting and culture.
SPECIAL CROPS
| Another crop well adapted to our
western soil and climate is broom
corn Try a small field of it this
year and learn how to grow and han
die it, Prefer the Dwarf variety for
western Kansas.
There are other special crops which
may be grown in a small way with
advantages, such as sweet corn, pop
corn, melons, squashes, pumpkins,
beans, and other garden crops. Buck
wheat may also be planted very
late in the season, not earlier than
the middle of July. Among the root
crops are mangels, sugar beets, ruta
bagas and late turnips which may
produce very large yields if the fall
conditions are favorable.

Last Monday the people of our city
were shocked to hear of the death of
Curtis Olson which had occurred in
Solomon about noon of the same day.
1t seems he was stricken with heart
failure while in swimming with
party of friends and by the time he
was rescued he was beyong all medi-
cal assistance. The news came as
great shock to the friends of the
family at this place. Curtis was the
oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Oh
son and was born in Wa-Keeney. He
was an unusually bright young man
full of promise>and prospects of
happy useful career were before him.
He was past IS years of age and
High School student of Solomon. The
World with all the old time friends
of Editor and Mrs. Olson and family,
also Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Olson, his
grandparents of this city, sympathize
most deeply with them in this great
and unexpected sorrow which has en-
tered their home.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1911-05-20

Keep your live stock; do not sell at a
sacrifice. Let the cattle pasture on
the wheat for time. Plant lot of
corn, kafir, milo and sorgo, and grow
plenty of forage. The rains will come
and the grass will grow and furnish
an abundance of pasture, and late
planted crops may produce better
than the average.
MAKE SURE OF A WHEAT CROP IN 1912
All land which is not cropped
should be plowed early and given suf-
ficient summer culture to destroy
weeds, maintain a good soil mulch
and conserve the soil moisture so
that the soil will be in excellent con-
dition for starting fall wheat. This
will insure a crop in 1912, even though
another dry season follows this one.
Some western dealers who adver-
tise seed for sale are Cox 81 Son,
Hays; NJ. c. Blackman, Hoxie; A. L..
Jordan, Winona: McBeth & Dallas,
Garden City, Kansas. Other Kansas
seed firms are: Barteldes & Co., Law
