SAFE FROM FROST
Corn, Matured and Dried Up,
Avoids One Danger Anyway.
Soaking Rains Improve COndi-
tiOns, Government Reports.

There is one danger that the Kansas
corn-what there is left of twill not
have to encounter this year-frost.
According to the weekly weather and
crop report issued today by S. D.
Flora. meteorologist, premature drying
of the corn crop has saved it from the
coming fall chill.
The report in full. covering all crops
and conditions, follows:
Soaking rains furnished an album
dance of moisture over practically all
the eastern third of Kansas this week
and broke the drouth in several of the
north central and extreme western
counties, but the western half of the
state is still dry as a rule and many
counties are badly in need of rain. A
decided cooling off the latter part OF
the week furnished the most effective
relief from hot weather the state has
experienced for some time.
From rs to 100 per cent of the
corn crop has passed the place where
is safe from frost, owing to the pre-
mature drying up due to the summer
drouth. The small per cent that is
still green will require about two
weeks before it is safe. Nearly all
that will be cut has been secured in
fourth to half of it has been cut in
the northeastern and central counties
and this work is being pushed as rap
Idly as the limited labor supply will
permit In just few extreme western
counties the bulk of the corn is still
green and growing.
Grain . sorghums are generally
rated as fair to good. but there are
places where they are very poor and
in many localities they have not head
ed yet 1t now appears that unless
frost is unusually late a considerable
per cent will fail to mature grain, but
they will make a great deal of forage
1.-The greater part of the fall ploW-
ing is finished and here and there over
the state some wheat has been sown-
By Sentember IS sowing will be gen.
eral providing there is sufficient mois-
ture.
"Grasshoppers are reported to be
very damaging in the western coun-
ties
Pastures have improved in counties
that have been favored by rains the
list two or three weeks and in those
places another cutting of alfalfa seems
assured"
