RAINS BENEFIT WHEAT
Crop Is Looking Fine in Eastern
Part of State, Tho Fly Is Found
in Early Sown.
by S. d. Flora, Meteoroiosls..

Soaking rains this week over the
eastern third of Kansas and the two
northern tiers of counties caused a
general improvement in wheat in those
sections, but the southwest quarter of
the state, which has not had a good
rain for a month, received only a few
scattered showers and wheat there Is
suffering badly, according to the. re-
ports of 120 correspondents OF the
weather bureau, which cover condi-
tions in every county. Temperatures
ranged from degrees to 10 degrees
above normal during the week. There
was no freezing weather and no frosts
occurred except light>ones in the ex-
treme western counties.
Wheat is looking fine in the eastern
part of the state, tho indications of
fly are found in the early sewn. In
the dry sections in the central ana
western counties it has practically
stopped growing and the late sown is
not coming up because it lacks mois-
ture to terminate. Drying winds dur
ing the week made the drought felt
more severely. Sowing wheat is prac-
tically completed, except in some of
the western counties, which are hold
ing, off for rain.
Only few fields of corn remain to
be cut or put in the silo. The grain
has dried out rapidly this fall and
cribbfng has already begun in many
start elsewhere by the end of the week.
except the extreme northwestern
counties. Feeding the new corn to
stock is beginning in most sections.
Farmers at the present time are put
ting up hay and other rough feed,
doing odd jobs of fall blowing, and in
the western part of the state are still
threshing. while digging potatoes is in
progress in the eastern counties.
Apple picking is finished in the Ar
kansas valley, almost finished. except
for the late varieties, in the Kaw val
ley. but is still in progress in the large
commercial orchards in the northeast
ern counties near st. Joseph.
No killing frost has occurred this
fall in the southern, southeastern, and
extreme northeastern counties tho the
average date for the first killing has
passed in nearly all of them. AS the
principal crops are now maturcd, no
seriohs damage is anticipated from
the next freeze.

WILL INVESTIGATE REPORT.
Asks What Is Matter viii
Kansas Alfalfa Crop.

California is asking Kansas what is
the matter with the Kansas alfalfa
crop. Kansas didn't know there was
anything the matter, but will find out
right away and let California know.
Letters have been received by the state
board of agriculture asking if there is
an alfalfa disease rampant IN the state
which has seriously curtailed produc-
ton. The letters were from the Cali
fornia board of quarantine and the
California alfalfa seed dealers associa-
ton.
1t is believed that the rumors of
damage to the Kansas crop have been
circulated in order to affect the
market, but a strict investigation has
been asked for by the state board of
agriculture. The testing department
of the state experiment station at
Manhattan and the state entomoiogist
have been asked to investigate the re-
