HoIsINGToN, KANSAS.

The year of 1913 has broken all
records in the State OF Kansas
Back to the earliest settlers, moth
ing was ever seen like it before in
this country. To begin with, in the
latter part of 1912 the farmers in
the State lost horses and mules to
the amount of million and a
half dollars, this certainly put them
behind. They could scarcely get in
their wheat last fall, but finally
succeeded in getting their wheat
sewn Then came the first of the
year with the best of prospects for
a bumper wheat crop until about
the first OF June when 1t began to
get dry and hot The thermometer
stood about one hundred and ten
to one hundred and twenty all
through June, July and August, with
no rains anu plenty of hot winds
that would almost burn the shirt
off your back, then to cap this the
transformers come by the multiple
ed millions and the chinch bugs.
Those pests. together with the hot
dry weather and the not winds GER
tainly did do away with all grow
ing crops in this part OF the State
and practically all over the State.
