CROP OUTLOOK IMPROVES
Mothers Report Says Rains and SUM-
shine Did Much Good.

Crop conditions improved nightly
under favorable weather conditions of
last week, according to a report today
by j. c. Mohler, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. Rains and sun
shine combined to improve the wheat
outlook and corn growers in the cen
trail portions of Kansas have planted
so to IS per cent of their crop.
From one to two inches of rain fell
over the greater portion of the state
last week. Soil conditions are quite
uniformly hospitable for all crops"
with possibly a bit too much moisture
in the northeastern sections. Cold
weather has held back the potato
crop All other crops are seemingly
making good progress.
Mohler in his weekly report says in
part:
Wheat has improved wonderfully during
the past week and is making a very rapid
growth. 1t is reported as jointing in the
north central section and is from six to
eight inches high in the southwestern part.
In the extreme southwest there is some
danger of weeds giving trouble unless cool
weather continues a short time.
Corn planting is general over the state,
having started in the northeastern and
week. In the central part of the state from
so to IS per cent Is already planted in the
southern section, especially the southeast
and south central, practically all the corn
land has been planted. In some parts of
this section the corn is showing above
ground to fair STANDS, washing rains hav-
ing occurred in some places. In the south
west the ground is in good condition now,
but on account of dry weather previously.
the preparation for planting is somewhat
backward. The past week has been favor
able for oats and barley.
The planting of the grain sorghums is
starting In the southern half of the state;
the preparation of the soil going forward
in other parts. A few early fields in the
southern part are just coming up.
Potatoes are very backward owing to the
cold, wet weather and in the central part
of the state there are reports of seed rot
ting from this cause. Thru the Kaw VAL
ley section the plants are now showing
above ground. with fair TO good stands
Alfalfa has made an excellent growth the
past week and the first cutting of hay will
start in the south central section in about
a week, further north in ten days or two
weeks from now.
Grass is making good progress, but many
pastures in the eastern section are weedy.
Cattle are going on grass in fair con-
dition, but there is a big decrease in
numbers this year compared with last
and pasture rentals are somewhat lower
than a year ago.
Apples in the northeastern section are in
good shape and the spraying of fruit
trees Is progress in all sections
County agents report considerable loss in
the spring pig crop, especially in the
northeastern section caused by the cold wet
weather and late SHOWS this spring.

USE BASEBALL IN TEACHING
Novel Method Of Teaching Spelling
Adopted by School In Penn
sylvania-

Kane Pa.-Public schools here have
adopted a new and novel method Of
teaching spelling.
ON suggestion OF the teachers, 1t is
known as the baseball system" which
eliminates monotony from the study
and creates an interest second only to
that of outdoor sport. II is nothing
more or less than playing baseball with
words.
The schoolroom Is the diamond, the
corners being used for the bases and
the teacher is the pitcher" The pu-
pills are the players" A pupil "at
bat" advances to the corner of the
room designated as the plate" ana
the teacher pronouDces three words.
If all are correctly spelled the play
err moves to first base, having made
a ''hit," each succeeding player who
makes a "hit" advances him a base
until he is scored.
As each succeeding player makes n
safe hit" he goes to first base and
the run scored counts for the side the
player represents. When a player fails
to spell a word correctly he is declared
"out" and goes TO his seat, which is the
players bench" The rules of the ma
tional game are adhered to as strictly
as possible, there being three out 1t
requires several days to complete nine
innings.
