WEEK OF HOT DAYS
Third Week of No Good Rains Over
kansas.

The weekly report of weather and
crop conditions issued out of Topeka
today reads:
This was week of hot days and
comparatively warm nights in all parts
of Kansas. It was the third week in
succession with no good rain over the
state. Local showers were numerous
but they were too light to be of any
benefit except in a very few places.
Temperatures of 100 degrees and
higher were reported from a great
many stations.
Harvest Overwhelming Begun,
Wheat harvest has been finished
except in the extreme northwestern
counties, where it is fully half done.
Threshing has begun in all parts I'M
der favorable conditions with yields
generally reported to be better than
were expected both as to quantity and
! quality. About SO per cent of the crop
is threshed in the southern counties,
but, as a rule, not more tain 10 to 25
per cent is completed in the nothern.
Oats are also cut and are being
threshed with yields that range from
excellent in the northeast part to very
poor in the south central.
Corn TasseIing-Needs Rain.
| Corn is approaching its most criti-
cal period of development and is be-
ginning to need rain badly. In the
southeast part of the state from one
| half to two-thirds of it is in tassel
and about per cent. of it is in the
roasting ear stage. In the northern
and western counties from 10 to 25
per cent. is in tassel and ears are
forming on the early planted.
The continued warm, sunshiny
weather was favorable to a rapid
growth of the crop in the eastern
half of the state, where there was
sufficient moisture in the soil in most
counties, but west of the center of the
state corn has not Jared so well, and
in several counties it's leaves and tas-
sells are drying up.
In the extreme western counties
conditions are better, as the crop is
not SO far advanced there and that
| part of the state received more rair
this week than the eastern.
Too Dry for Pastures and Grass.
Putting up the second crop of al
falfa is practically finished, but the
next crop has made very little growth
on account of the dry weather. Pas.
lures are also growing slowly. Max
ing prairie hay is well under way
Gardens, as rule, have dried up
Fall blowing has been delayed or
account of the dryness of the soil
