July, 1918, has been the driest July
since 1887 and less amount of rain
fall has been recorded only once in
the twenty-nine years the government
service has been in operation. During
the month just past, the average pre-
cipitation over the state was only 1.57
inches distributed through four or five
showers In 1886 the rainfall was LOG

eastern part of the state has sufficient
rain fallen to prevent actual suffer

never been dry bfore, are drying up
and in a number of Localities water

was proved conclusively in the test
of early preparation of wheat seed
beds just finished at the Kansas Agri:
cultural College. And the results OBJ

There may be an exception to very
early blowing on fertile soils in wet
seasons. Upon soils rich in plant food
and well supplied with moisture very

food in such large amounts that the

one that was worked during the first
month after blowing produced 32%
bushels an acre, while the other,

increase in yield was obtained at an
additional cost of sixty-five cents.

STATE MAY GIVE
AID TO FARMERS
A Special Session of the Leg
islature is Urged.
MORE THAN SEED is NEEDED
Senator Mcmillan of Ottawa County
Advocates State Fund to
Loan to Farmers in
Need.

Topeka.-Senator Harry Mcmillan Of
Ottawa county is urging a special ses-
sion of the legislature to give state and
to Western Kansas farmers who are
suffering because of crop failures. The
ottawa county senator believes u mil
lion dollars should be appropriated and
that many of the members of the leg
lslature will come to Topeka for a
five-day session without expense to
the state.
Conditions in Western Kansas are
critical, according to Senator McMil-
Ian, who came to Topeka and discussed
his special legislative session plan.
He proposes to write personal letters
to the 1865 members of the two houses.
and believes a majority will volunteer
to come to Topeka without expense to
the state. The special session, Sen
ator Mcmillan believes, should be
limited to five days, and no business,
other than to aid the farmers, trans.
acted.
Farmers in a dozen or fifteen of
the western counties are badly in need
of assistance" declared Senator Nc
MILAN, land l believe the only way
to aid them is for the state to take a
hand and to devise some means of
making loan that will carry them
over the short-crop season. These
people are not asking for contributions,
but they do need help.
THE plan to furnish them seed
wheat is a good one, but they need
more than that. They need food and
clothing and money with which to buy
feed for their stock and to carry them
through the winter. These men can
not get money at the local banks.
They have no securities to offer, and
the only way to help them is for the
state to take hand"
There is a chance for the Kansas
City Missouri River Navigation Com
pany to do a lot of Kansas passen-
ger business in September and haul
several hundred Kansas old soldiers
from Kansas City to st. Louis, or
even to Memphis, if the company will
run the boats that far. j. N. Harri-
son, commander of the Kansas G. A.
R., has started to ascertain what ar
could be made for the |
boat trip from Kansas City to st. |
Louis or Memphis. The annual en-
campment of the G. A. R. is to be |
held in Chattanooga in September. |
The southern railroads have granted a
rate Of one cent a mile from Missis- |
slppi river points to Chattanooga, but
the roads operating through Kansas
and Missouri, where the 2-cent fare is
in vogue, are requiring the G. A. R. |
