NEED MORE MOISTURE HERE
But Rains Have Been General In
Eastern Section

In the eastern section Of the state
local showers have been quite general
during the past week especially In the
southern counties but elsewhere little
rain has fallen, according to the re-
port of the state board Of agriculture.
The light rains in eastern Kansas is
not an .unfavorable condition as there
is generally plenty Of moisture In the
soil to give the new wheat proper
start. In central and western Kansas
more moisture Is needed and In some
sections urgently needed to start
growth in the seeded fields and main
tain a vigorous growth where the
new wheat has already sprouted. The
few reports of the condition OF the
growing wheat crop in eastern Kan
sas are generally favorable. The tone
of the replies from other sections Is
much less encouraging. In the far
western counties the wheat outlook
at the moment is distinctly discourag-
ing. Rather heavy frosts were re-
ported during the week in eastern and
northern counties.
Corn is now past the stage where
danger from frost is to be feared and
dry and cool weather is favorable for
hardening the kernel.

MUST REPORT AT ONCE
All Diseases Should Be Made Known
to Health Officer

Scarlet fever and diphtheria cases
are numerous over Kansas, and many
deaths are resulting from them, ac-
cording to DIR. c. F. Atwood. Several
cases have been found in this county
where children had one or the other
of these diseases in mild form and
no physician was called. The heads
of the families did not make report
TO the health officer as required and
he located the cases through other
sources. Even If doctor Is not
called, it is the duty of the head Of
the family to report the case at once
to the health authorities. Physicians
are ordered to placard cases immed-
lately. One physician was fined last
week on a charge Of neglecting this
very necessary action.

TWO HERDS OF CATTLE ARE
 KILLED WITHIN A WEEK

Within the last week two herds of cattle have been killed in Hartford, under supervision of the state com missioner of domestic animals. In both instances the herds were suffer ing from a tubercular aff1iction and they were destroyed to safeguard the public health. During the week 9 total of fl diseased cows were killed here as part of the movement the conlIniSSoioner is backing to free the stae of defective herds.
 At it's meeting last night the Hart ford city health board received a re- quest from Commissioner Whittlesey asking that the state department re- ceive the moral hacking of the city board in its fight to abolish diseased herds, and the board voted unan1- mously to support the stand of the commissioner of domestic animals Dr. Joseph M. Curry, city meat in spector, formally reported to the board on the destruction of the cattle killed here last week. It is under stood that both herds were owned in Bloomfield.
 In recent years it has, .peen gener- ally believed that milk coming from tubercular cattle, which show symp- toms of that malady but which are not in serious condition, can De safely used if sterilized. but the ex- ] perience of the last year or two has

one reason why the state suffered a $2,000,0oo deficit the past year and why the General Assembly of 1921 was so agitated over deficiencies that the State treasurer. was authorized to borrow S2,000sop0 and the state board of control was authorized to make deficiency appropriations from this sum. With the exception of a. little more than s10O,000 this money was appropriated to cover deficiencies in state departments up to July IS.
 The total receipts in the office of the state treasurer in the fiscal year and the total expenditures during the year were s19;2ss, ,o22.05, which more than corroborates the earlier esti- mates of deficit for the year. The deficit was the result of increased cost of maintenance of state depart ments and institutions the budget estimates having been preDartd f'' 1919.
