Rush to City Hall.

When the office of the city clerk
closes tonight, Topekans will have
only four more days to register.

today was not so great as was ex-
pected. However, it is belived the next
four days will see $500 more persons
go thru the formality that will make
them qualified electors. The decision
of Attorney General Hopkins that the
age need not be given does not seem
to have broken down the barriers. No
more than the usual number of women

Excellent Conditions Existed in Kan.

Excellent Conditions Existed in Kan
sas Last Week, Mohler Reports.
Excellent crop conditiins have ex-
listed in Kansas during the last week,
according to a summary today by ]. c.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture. Rains last week gave
new hope for bumper crops in almost
every section of the state.
With wheat, oats, rye and barley
harvest practically finished except in
the northwest corner, Kansas farmers
are now turning their attention to the
harvesting of alfalfa and prairie hay.
threshing as fast as machines for that
ing of wheat ground. Soil conditions
are extra good for blowing in all parts
of Kansas and blowing as early as pos
sible to conserve moisture will be one
of the most important farming opera
lions from now on.
1 The week has been exceptionally
good for the growth of corn and the
sorghums and corn is tasseling out
in the central and southern parts with
an excellent stalk growth. Fields are
very clean in all sections as conditions
have been right for cultivation and
ing in all portions and especially in
the valleys of the Kaw and Arkansas
rivers where good yields are being Sc
cured and prices paid are considered
The second crop of alfalfa is being
harvested in the more northern sec
tions and the rains of the past week
have given a fine start for the third
crop in the southern counties. The
prairie hay crop is reported good in
the east-central portion, where large
acreages are cut annually Sugar beets
are being weeded and thinned in Fin
ney county where irrigation is prac-
ticed, and the crop promises a favor
able yield this year.
Pastures which were beginning to
get dry at the time of last weeks re-
port, have freshened up wonderfully
during the week just closed and in
some counties cattle are being shipped
! in to take care of the excellent growth.
| The outlook is for a brisk demand for
breeding hogs this fall and indications
point to good movement of stock
cattle from market to fall pastures if
prices are reasonable.
