WEATHER IN KANSAS
First Killing Frosts of Season in
Western Part.

BY S. D. FLORA, PSYCHOLOGIST.
Rather heavy rains were general in
all parts of Kansas this week and re-
lieved the long drought in the south
eastern and south-central counties

IRENE southeastern part of the state.
had enough water to soak the ground
thoroly. Killing frosts, the first of the
season. with temperatures from to s
degrees below freezing, occurred over
practically all the western half of the
state on the 10th and 18th and heavy
frosts in the northeastern counties on
the latter date and also the 18th, but
the southeastern quarter Of the state
escaped without frost or freeze. The
damage from frost was light as practi-
caIly all crops had matured, except be-
lated fields of grain sorghums and, in
some parts, last cutting of alfalfa
Snow fell in some Of the extreme
northwestern counties, totalling two
inches in Cheyenne county.
Sowing wheat is from so to rs per
cent completed in the western half of
the state and the northeast quarter.

porting as high as 90 per cent sown.
In the southern tier of counties east
of Clark and the southeastern quarter

ground has been too hard to plow.
seeding is just beginning.
Most Of the wheat that has been
sown is up and the stands are gen.
orally reported as satisfactory in every
way Many in the western third are
said to be perfect stands. There is
pr obably more volunteer wheat than
western Ka usas has known for long
time, and it is now furnishing good
pasture.
Corn is drying out and cribbing will
be general in all parts in from 10
days to two weeks and has already
begun in a few localities.
Stock water was becoming quite
scarce in the southeastern counties be-
fore the rains fell, but the situation
is improving now.
Picking apples is half finished in
the northeastern part of the state.
