Fire DESTROYS Half of Dexter.

Winfield, Kan, Oct 25.-Fire at
Dexter destroyed nearly half the bust
ness portion of the town. Starting in
Hawkins candy kitchen, it spread to
the adjoining buildings and Mann s
drug store. Mahan and Sparks res
taurant. a harness shop, barber shop
and an empty store building were de-
strOyed. Lack of water made it hard
to control the fire and it looked at one
time as if most of the business section
of the town would be destroyed The
loss is estimated at $4,000. less than
half OF which is covered by insurance.

PLANTERS RUSHING SEEDING
DURING FAVORABLE WEATHER
Much Rice Put in Ground During Past
Ten Days.-Growing Crop Look
ing WeII.-Pumping Be-
gun This Week,

Following one of the most backward
springs in the history of the state, aud
an unprecedented series OF prOtracted
rains, the past two weeks Of season.
able weather comes as q godsend to
the planters of the rice belt, and are
being utilized to the fullest extent.
With the exception of few very light
showers no rain has fallen in this
section since the tenth, and the soil is
now in splendid condition for work
lug, and is being rapidly put in con-
dition for seeding.
With continuance of the present
favorable conditions number Of
planters will finish seeding next week.
while very few have already finished
and larger number will require even
longer time to put in all they expect
to plant. n number Of planters who
have either gasoline tractors or trac.
ton engines will finish their work be-
fore their nelghbors, who are depend
ent entirely upon teams for their
work, have arranged to help their
neighbOrs with their work 50 as to
take all advantage possible of the
favorable weather conditions.
Much Of the rice that is already
sown is up and looking fine, making
| for better showing than was antici-
pated a few weeks ago. Nearly every
planter has some fields that are suf-
| fcieatlv advanced to be flooded, and
nearly every pumping plant in this
section of the rice belt will have been
started before the end Of the week.
In spite of the backward season,
which lead many to the prediction that
the acreage in this section would be
far below normal, few more weeks
of the present favorable weather will
permit the sowing of a normal acre
aye and with the addition Of favorable
showers the condition of the crop
which is rapidly improving will soor
become normal for the time Of year.
A considerable acreage of highland
crops, including corn, sweet potatoes
lespedeza, vetch, oats and at least ont
field of wheat are being cultivated
this season.
