Grop .Conditions in Kansas

Western and southern Kansas re
ceived only little and scattered preci-
pitation last week, and were still bad
" in need of moisture. The north
eastern part of the state Jared better,
with from half to three quarters of
an inch OF rain and melted snow.
Freezing weather occurred In prac-
tically all parts on the Sth and 9th
but there was very little damage ex
cePt to plum trees and IN the south
eastern counties, as vegetation had
not advanced sufficiently.
Wheat has improved IN the north
eastern part of the state and is bare
ly holding its own IN the southwestern
and south-centrai counties. In the
western half II has suffered further
damage on account Of the continual
ton of the drought and the high
winds and dust storms that occurred.
Almost without exception its cOndi-
ton IN the north-central and western
counties IS very poor. Some spring
wheat Is being sOwn IN the northern
counties
AQ unusually large acreage of oats
has been sOWn on abandoned wheat
ground In the eastern and central
counties and much OF It is up to good
stands In the western counties the
ground IS so dry farmers have been
delayed seeding oats and barley, hop
ing for more favorable conditions.
Corn planting has begun IN the
eastern third OF the state and IN the
south-central counties. Early pota-
toes are mostly planted and gardens
have been made IN the southeastern
counties but the lack OF warm wea-
Their this week, and in many places
the lack OF moisture, have delayed
their growth.
The ground is in excellent condi-
ton for blowing and disking over
the entire state and IN the eastern
portion more of this work has been
done than is usually accomplished
this early in the season.
Stock water is becoming quite
scarce in the southeastern counties.

The Stacker

From ocean to ocean, DER mountain
and plain,
Wars tocsin loudly is ringing;
From north to south, from east to
Our boys to the colors are spring
ing.
But there are those who are hanging
back
Saying, 'Pll'not go until they make
me.
If Uncle Sam is wanting me
They'll have TO come and take me- y
Last night I listened to such talk,
And as I musing sat, it seemed
That vision passed before me
Or else 1 slept and dreamed.
l thought as I walked a lowly way
By chance I saw the devil.
He was accompanied by all his imps
And things most vile and evil.
He was braiding whip of scorpions
With a copperhead snake for {
cracker,
And he said with a leer as he winked
at ne,
cts to be used upon Stacker"
A slasber's a THING that through
years of peace
Has enjoyed his country's blessing:
And then's too mean to enlist for wal
When her wrongs are in need of
redressing.
l will not allow them to enter here
IF they attempt it, I'll undo them
And from the very gates of hell
With this scorpion whip pursue
them.
They are shut out of Heaven they're
barred out of Hell,
Theirs no peace in all creation
Where a Stacker is welcome, who's toe
mean to fight
In defense of his flag and nation.
