By S. D. Flora, Meteorologist.

Rain fell almost every day during
the week in the eastern half of Kansas
and in some of the south-central
counties, but the north-cen1al and
western counties generally had less
than half an inch, which fell at the
beginning of the week and was fol-
lowed in that section by sunshine and
drying weather, according to reports
OF 100 correspondents of the weather
bureau. Most counties in the eastern
third reported from an inch and a half
to five inches during the week. Tenn
peratures were below normal the fore
part, but the last three or four days
were quite sultry.
Wheat harvest made little or mo
Roadway in the southeast quarter of
the state where, fortunately, it was
mostly finished when the rains began.
In the wheat belt proper-the middle
third of the state-harvest is in full
swing, except in limited localities
where rain interfered. 1t is half to
two-thirds finished in the extreme
northeast and central counties, well
started in the southwest, and barely
beginning in the northwest. In Chey-
enne county, where small grains are
looking especially fine, wheat harvest
is not likely to start before July 4. In
the eastern counties continued wet
weather has favored the spread of
rust which has weakened the straw
to such an extent that wheat not cut
is lodging badly and oats, whose har-
vest follows wheat closely, is suffering
from the same cause.
The weeks weather was almost
ideal for corn which is in splendid
shape in all parts. except that weeds
are getting a start in the eastern
counties, where cultivation was held
up by rains. The crop is growing
rapidly and in the eastern half of the
state almost ready to tassel. Even in
the extreme northwest counties it has
plenty of moisture and is one to two
feet high.
Pastures and alfalfa are growing
rapidly. Much of the first crop of
alfalfa was ruined IN eastern Kansas
by rains, in fact in the Kaw valley
some of it is not cut yet, while the
second crop is almost ready.
New potatoes are being dug for To-
cal consumption generally over the
eastern part of the state and tomatoes
are ripening in the southern counties.
while gardens and truck crops are
doing fine.

FILE RATE CASE

gate Rock Island Charges.
Affects Tariffs for Switching on
North Side of Kaw.

A freight charge case which has
been stimulated by the building go
ing on at the city waterworks plant,
the hard surfacing of the Silver Lake
road on the north side of the Kaw
river, and the resumption of full time
work at the brickyard, west of To-
peka, has found it's way into the state
public utilities commission, and the
Interstate commerce commission.
For years past, the Rock Island,
which maintains tracks to the city
vaterworks, the brickyard, the State
Boys Industrial school. Shorey, and
the state hospital, has had switch
ing charge" of two cents a hundred
pounds for intrastate shipments, and
two and a half cents a hundred
pounds on interstate shipments. This
charge has been assessed against
freight in car loads which comes into
Topeka over lines other than the
Rock Island, and Is delivered over
the Rock Island spur tracks to the
various points indicated.
Not Paid by Shipper.
This charge has hitherto been alb
sorbed by the competing lines in
their own competitive rates. and was
paid by the railroad doing the hauling
to Topeka, and not by the shipper.
The Rock Island has filed a trans
Ter of its rates, changing the nature
of the old switching charge in such a
way that it cannot now be absorbed
by the rates of competing lines, but
must be paid by the shipper, when
the freight comes to Topeka over the
Santa Fe, Union Pacific or Missouri
Pacific. The transfer is to be effec-
tive July %.
Under the changed rates, the in
crease would have to be borne by the
shipper instead of the competing rail-
