WESTERN KAN. NEEDS Rain
Eastern Half Well Soaked. ) d.
Flora Reports in Weekly Crop
Weather Bulletin.


Soaking rains furnished abundant
moisture to the eastern third and
few spots in the southwest portion of
Kansas this week. but practically all
the western half is in need of more
moisture and crops in the three south
ern tiers of counties west of the mid
die line of the state are suffering bad
ly. except in the limited localities that
have had rain within the past few
days. Temperatures were generally OF
the summer resort variety in the east
ern half, tho they reached 100 degrees
and higher on one or two days in the
dry counties in the west portion.
Corn is in good to excellent condi-
ton and growing rapidly over all the
northern half of the state and the
southeastern counties. In the Kaw
valley it is generally reported the best
ever known at this time of the year
From rs to so per cent of it is in
roasting ears in the eastern half and
it is rapidly approaching that stage
elsewhere. Drouth is injuring corn
badly in the southwest portion, which
| includes practically all counties south
/ of the Arkansas river and west of
Sedgwick. The damage is estimated
all the way from 10 to so per cent at
| present and unless a general rain falls
| soon in that section corn will be prac-
tically a. total failure there.
Grain sorghums are also suffering in
the dry counties, but are doing fine
elsewhere and coming into head rap
| idly.
Threshing has been delayed by wet
shocks and stacks from two to three
1 DAYS this week in the northern half of
| the state and some of the southeastern
counties but there has been little or no
damage to the grain on that account.

! threshing wheat is finished. In the
eastern third of the state from half to
two-thirds of it is done. In the north

Much notoreity has been given the

The alleged boycott Of certain news

reports. An investigation made by this

Lamberton is as loyal as any community

brication pure and simple, and libel
upon that section Of our fair state n
Neither the business men nor farmers
are in any boycott conspiracy, nor have
they been, and it is apparent that some

fact that no advertising was refused

because its editor was fighting for loyalty;
and careful detailed investigation of
several days duration satisfied officers
Of the L. V. A. that the pitiful hue and
cry of persecution from that village was
