FIRST SNOW IN KANSAS
From Four TO Six Inches of Snow
Fell in the Extreme Northwest
Counties Last Week - Heavy
Rains in Other Sections.
CBy S. L. Flora. MeteoroIoEtst.)


Soaking rains. which totaled from
1 to inches. fell over nearly all the
eastern half of Kansas the latter part
of the week and the western half of
the state generally had from a quar-
ter to half an inch of moisture, ac-
cording to correspondents of the
weather bureau. From to inches
of snow fell in the extreme northwest
counties and fIurries of snow as far
east as Hutchinson and Concordia,
which will do a great deal of good as
it meIts. Temperatures for the week
averaged considerably above normal,
but it was cooler the closing days
with readings as low as IL degrees to
20 degrees in the western counties and
below freezing in nearly all parts. The
weeks sunshine was generally defi-
cient.
Wheat is in fine condition and grow
ing nicely in the eastern half of the
state where it is stooling satisfactorily
and has furnished pasture for stock
until the rains made the fields too
muddy. In much of the western half
not more than TO 10 per cent of
wheat is up, but since the recent rains
there it is terminating rapidly and is
in condition to make an excellent
growth if mild weather continues
few weeks.
Gathering corn made rapid growth
until interrupted by rains in the east
ern half of the state. A great many
counties report from so to rs per cent
of it done. Pastures are exception
ally good for the time of year in the
eastern sections. Alfalfa is going into
the winter in fine shape
