Through out central Kansas most
of the farmers are planting patches
OF alfalfa on the south side Of iheiI

field of growing alfalfa cools the tenn:
perature from 10 to 20. degrees on a

ture and is death to hot winds, which
usually come from the south: In
fact, most of the Kansas wind comes
from that direction. For the very OPP

now to plant their wheat on the south

over wheat stubble after harvest will
