that conditions are now greatly i'm
proved. A special report concerning
conditions will be issued next week
by Secretary Mohler. Queries con-
corning conditions were today mailed
from the state house to more than
1900 correspondents. They will re-
port as to conditions Saturday of this
week. 1t will be the first official
crop report since last fall.
There is no doubt but that the
rains during the last few days have
performed miracles in the wheat
counties" said Secretary Mohler. 'I
am not in receipt Of official statements
at this time. but am convinced that
the recent rains have saved thousands
of acres of wheat land. A number OF
fields which might have been entirely
abandoned on account of the dry
weather, now promise to make a good
half crop. OF course, districts where
heavy winds have blown the wheat
from the fields. will not be benefited
by these rains. But where there was
really a chance to save at least a por-
ton of the wheat, the rains have
brought about a remarkably changed
condition. In the eastern counties, as
we'll as in the dig wheat counties of
the west, the change is most noticeable
and the rains will mean thousands of
dollars to Kansas farmers"
Mothers official report will come
some time next week. 1t will show
conditions of the wheat crop, probable
acreage of corn and will give Informal
ton as to the number of bushels OF
wheat, corn and other grains now n
the hands of the Kansas farmers.

Rain General Over Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City, April 12.-Gentle
rains which have fallen in practically
every section of Oklahoma during the
last "a hours have greatly benefited
Oklahoma'S wheat crop, according to
a statement issued this morning by
President Frank NJ. Gault, of the
state board of agriculture. The sky
is still overcast and prospects are
favorable for more rain today.
This rain, according to Mr.. Gault,
will serve to check the high winds of
the last week and give the wheat a
chance to recover. The fact that the
rain fell slowly and cloudiness has
prevailed in every section will allow
the plant to obtain the fullest benefit.
/ In certain sections of northwestern
Oklahoma where the drought has
been the most severe in many years
and where the high winds practically
ruined the crop on some farms, an
average yield may yet be expected
where enough of the plant was left
standing to insure profitable handling
