FRUIT BUDS ARE HEALTHY
Kansas Has Fine Prospects Fos
Good Fruit Year

| Despite extremely early budding
of fruit trees, very little damage
from frost has been noticed and II
good weather prevails Kansas has
excellent prospects for good fruit
year, says the latest weekly report
on agricultural conditions issued by
J. G. MOhler, secretary Of the State
Board Of Agriculture. Plums, april
cots, peaches and pears are in full
bloom in the southern counties and
buds are commencing to show signs
Of bursting through in central and
northern sections.
Through the Kaw Valley potato
growers are busy planting their
main crop, about two weeks ahead
Of ordinary years. All other crop
planting and farm work is far ad-
vanced, according to the report,
which continues:
The soil is in very good condition
except somewhat dry through the
central, southern and some western
counties, but the absence Of severe
wind during the past two weeks has
permitted the wheat to make good
growth and with another week Of
such weather It will be in condi-
tion to prevent soil blowing to a
great extent. Pasturing Of early
sown wheat is the rule in western
Kansas now and livestock are thriv-
ing on It.
Oats seeding is well along, being
practically finished in the southern
part Of the state, and from IS to 90
per cent completed in the more
northern counties. In the south, !
oat fields are commencing to show |
green and conditions are excellent |
for growth. Barley seeding is being |
carried on extensively in the west
arn and northwestern counties, indi-
cations pointing to a much larger
acreage than last year.

Obituary-Emma G. Roger

Emma Catharine Fry was born
Dec. 20, 1850 near Sulphur Springs,
Ohio, her parents being Henry Fry
e and Rachel Graham Fry. Early In
life she united with the Lutheran
church. She. ever took an active
part in the work of the church, being
a member Of the choir for many
years. One June 9, 1883 she was
married to John G. Royer in the
home at Sulphur Springs, o. They

where they have ever since resided.
Mrs. Roger for many years was a
teacher in the Bible school and soon
became one Of the many active

been very much invalided. and has
needed constant attention. This
has been granted her unstintedly by |
faithful husband and children who
have sacrificed where necessary to
give rightful attention. Their re-
ward comes in the consciousness Of a
service rightly done and will be
credited to them in the happiness of
the great hereafter.
