CUTTING CORN NOW
But Rains of Last Week Haven't
Helped Ripening Process Over
the State.

AbnormaIly cool. cloudy weather
was general over Kansas this week,
with moderate to excessively heavy
rains that soaked the ground thoroly
in every part of the state, according
to the reports of 40 correspondents
of the weather bureau. Most of the
counties reported from l to inches
of rain during the week and quite
number in the southern portion had to
exceed inches.
Corn made a fine growth, many cor
respondents reporting it excellent, but
it is in immediate need of warmth and
sunshine with dry weather to mature
properly befor" frost comes. Cutting
corn is well CAder way in the south
central portion and begun elsewhere
in the eastern half of the state, ex-
cept the extreme northern counties.
In another week, If weather conditions
are favorable, it will be starting in the
western and northern counties. Silo
filling has begun over most of the
southern half of the state and is 10
trail counties.
The continued wet weather has re-
suited in a practical suspension of
threshing, but reports indicate that
the damage to stacked wheat is light
so far. not exceeding 10 per cent in
counties where conditions have been
most unfavorable.
Fall blowing is much farther ad-
vanced than usual, owing to the ex-
celIent condition of the soil. Sowing
wheat is now general in the northwest
quarter of the state and promises to
extend TO the rest of the state in an
other two weeks. which is considerably
in advance Of the fly free dates. In
many northwestern and central coun-
ties volunteer wheat is up almost
enough to cover the ground.
Pastures are making a luxuriant
growth for the time of the year. From
three to six cuttings of alfalfa will be
secured this year in almost every
county producing this crop.
Picking Jonathan apples will start
in from ten days to two weeks in the
Arkansas valley and the important
commercial orchards in the northeast
ern counties.

from roots. herbs and banks

chronic dyspepsia and often
entirely mining the health.
