More Water in Soldier Greek
Than for Year.
Farmers Say Wheat Is i'm Fine
Condition.

According to reports brought into
North Topeka by farmers living in the
northern part of the county the recen'
rains have served to raise the creeks
and small streams in that vicinity
, higher than they have been for some
time. According to DIR. Charles OF the
Boys Industrial school. Soldier creek
has more water in 1t now than 1t naa
had for more than q year. It Is SUI
rising but It is still within Its banks.
Az no heavier rises have been report
ed farther north there is no danger o.
an overflow or any damage being done
Some Of the smaller tributaries OF Big
Soldier have been reported out OF sneir
banks but this will not be sun1c1ent 10
raise the creek enough to do any dam
age. Elm creek. Indian creek and Lit
tie Muddy have been reported out of
their banks. According to the farmers
the rains have put the wheat in hne
condition. They say that they never
saw a finer prospect for a bumper
wheat crop than this year. A number
of farmers reported some time ago that
some Of the wheat was jointing but re-
ports show that this is not the prevail
ing condition. 1t is expected that this
will do the next years crop more eOoo
than harm as 1t will make the wheat
thinner and cause 1t to stool better In
the spring.
