ALL CROPS HURT
Yet Conditions Are Favorable
i'm Spite of Weather.
Weekly Report of the District
Weather Bureau.

The weekly report on the crop and
weather condition in Kansas has been
issued by the weather bureau. Ac-
cording to the statement the harvest
has started in all the eastern counties
in spite of the bad weather and the
condition of the fields. All crops have
been hurt by the wet weather and hail
and in some places the farmers are
still planting corn. Conditions as a
whole are favorable considering the
weather.
The report says:
Sunshine and warm, drying weather
are more needed in central and east
ern Kansas at the present time than
anything else.
From two to four inches of rain fell
in the central and southeastern cou1-
ties this week and kept farm work at
a standstill. In the northeastern
quarter of the state conditions were
better with less rain than for several
weeks past and IT was possible 70
make some Roadway in blowing corn
and beginning wheat and alfalfa har-
vest.
In the western third of the state.
and especially the southwestern cOur-
ties this week was almost ideal for
crops with a sufficient amount of rain
and sunshine, but not too wet for most
farm work.
This makes the sixth successive
week with temperatures below normal
in practically all of Kansas.
Wheat.
Wheat harvest is under way gener-
ally liz all the eastern counties and the
south-central portion as far north as
Salina, but Il seems to be from one to
two weeks distant yet in the north
west part. Wet fields and continued
rains have hindered the work. IN
many places farmers have found it
necessary to install gasoline engines
on the binders to make any Roadway.
In western Kansas reports on wheat
continue to be exceedingly optimistic.
except where local damage occurred
on account of hail. In the central
portion some damage occurred this
week from heavy rains and the wind
that accompanied them. but the gem
eral condition of wheat continues good
to excellent. Farther east its condi-
ton is only fair-in some places not
more than half a crop.
Corn.
Corn is generally backward and
weedy and very few of the stands are
satisfactory. However. it has stood
the wet, cool weather better than
might have been expected. Much Gull
tivation was accomplished in north
eastern and also the western counties
this week. Some farmers are still
planting corn, but there is pro-
nounced tendency al this late date to

plant feterita or some other of the
sorghums instead.
Other Crops.
Oats are headed and promise ex-
ceptionally fine crop. In some places
their harvest is close at hand.
In the northwestern counties bar
ley is reported to be very promising.
The second cutting of alfalfa seems
to be almost as heavy as the first and
has already been begun. Prairie hay
and pastures could hardly be better.
Potatoes are rotting in some low.

valley, but farther west their condi-
ton is better.

in the more southern portions.

are so satisfactory and the sugar con-
tent of the beets so high that the Nib

It is generally believed in Medford
that the company will buy large
tract of land and put water on it
themselves, thus insuring their initial
crop.
Signing of such large acreage
would in itself insure the extension of
the irrigation system. With 10000
acres irrigated, experts maintain that
the Rogue river valley would become
the richest beet sugar district in the
country.
