WON'T BURN THE CORN
Mohler SCOTS At Idea of IL In
Kansas

Reports that Kansas farmers are
going TO burn their corn this winter
for fuel are scoffed at by j. Z.
Mohler, secretary of the state Board
of Agriculture.
"The cheaper corn is" Secretary
Mohler pointed out" the better II ~
to feed to hogs, and revival in the
livestock industry seems near at
hand. Even at 80 to 40 cents a

quickly, with little heat
Similar predictions that corn
would be burned for fuel were made
in previous years when corn was
cheap and coal comparatively nigh'
but IT was actually done only In a

Gas ,WAS-RLENIy,oF RAIN HERE
~ HEt va ill.,
= But Moisture Last Week Was I'm
evenly Distributed

Rains fell In most parts OF Kan
sas last week, in the northeast TOO
much, but In the western two-thirds
not enough. North. of the kaw
river in the eastern third, from one
and one half to four inches fell In
each county while south OF that line
it averaged from one inch to one
and one-half inches. In the north
central section half to three
fourths Of an inch was reported,
while Dickinson county, one Of the
driest up to this time, reports three
and one half inches. In the western
third OF the state there was less than
one inch of rain in any county.
The soil in northeastern Kansas
Is too wet for blowing but In other
eastern counties, it is In good con-
dition. Difficulties in blowing are
being experienced in the eastern
counties on account Of the heavy
growth of weeds caused by wet
weather this summer. In north-cen
trail and central Kansas the ground
Is mostly too dry for this work and
many farmers are preparing the
ground for wheat by disking in
stead of attempting to pillow. In all
Of western Kansas rain is badly
needed. Temperatures throughout
the state were moderate until the
latter part Of the week when hot
winds prevailed in some portions.
Pastures are looking better than
a week ago but livestock is not
moving to market as rapidly as was
expected on account of the discour-
aging prices There Is good de-
mand for feeder hogs in the north
eastern counties but farmers are be-
ing very conservative in the prices
they offer.
