WEEK UNSETTLED WEATHER
Farm Work Practically Suspend
cd Over Eastern Half OF Kansas
Wheat Harvest Due to Begin
in Kaw Valley About June 20.


Cloudy, rainy weather prevailed
most of the week over the eastern
half of Kansas and wet fields caused
a suspension of farm work on all but
two or three days in that section. ac-
cording to reports of correspondents
OF the weather bureau. The western
half was. favored with more sunshine
and conditions there were excellent
for crops as we'll as field work. Rains
in much of the eastern half and sew
eral of the northwest counties totaled
from one to two inches. The south
west quarter was dry. however with
little or no fail of moisture.
The weather was much too wet for
wheat in the eastern half of the state.
The damage to the crop is not serious
yet, but there are complaints in the
eastern third that it has too rank
growth and is beginning to lodge in
low grounds. Rust and smut are re-
ported in several eastern counties es-
pecially Douglas and Franklin. Ie
also a yellowish color in a large num-
Der of fields. In the central and west
ern parts OF the state wheat made an
excellent growth but weeds continue
to outstrip the spring sprouted fields
in the western third. Almost all the
crop is in head in the eastern third
and the south-central counties and
heading is well along in the north
central portion. Present indications
are that harvest will begin by June Is
in the extreme southeast counties and
by June 20 as far north as the Kaw
valley.
Stands OF corn are generally good.
Cultivation has begun in the eastern
half, except the extreme northeast
counties, and in many of the western
counties. Despite the wet weather
weeds are being kept down in corn
fields in almost all sections.
Alfalfa harvest has begun generally
over the eastern half. but a great deal
of the crop has been damaged by
rains. The second crop is making a
fine start where the first has been re-
moved. In Dickinson county it is re-
ported to be six inches high already.
Oats and barley show a general i'm
provement. Pastures are fine every
where. Potatoes are doing fairly
well, but need sunshine and warmth.
The strawberry season is at it's height
in the important producing counties
near the Missouri river. Cherries are
rip ning in the southern counties and
beginning to turn red as far north as
the Nebraska line.

Chicago, June 1.-WHEAT-W heat took
a moderate upward slant in price today
during the early dealings, owing to higher
quotations at Liverpool construed by many
traders here as ref1ecting a better political
and economic outlook in Europe. BulIish

plus were also a factor. Offerings were
light and houses with eastern connections
led the buying. There were deliveries of
205, 600 bushels on June contracts. Opening
prices, which varied from lac to 11sc
higher, with July $1-19 to $l1915 and Sep
TENDER S1.17% to Sis, were followed by
slight further gains.

IT'S UP TO US.

Predictions are being made that with
the coming of spring we will see
western copper mines again reopened.
This is only guess however.
Copper mines will open when de-
mand for the metal can take care of
production and not until then.
AS nation, we control this demand
to a large extent. We are the greatest
producers of copper and we should be
the greatest consumers of copper.
The day has arrived when we should
consider building and construction
from the standpoint Of permanency.
Instead of temporary "shacks" in
cities and towns, we should begin the
erection of more structures which will
stand as a monument to this period Of
our country's history.
y Copper lends itself to this class Of
construction. Copper in the home,
copper water cutters, copper down
spouts, copper screens, copper in Of
flee buildings and more copper and
brass in automobile construction
would mean an early resumption OF
western copper mining on which 10 a
large extent, depends our silver, zinc
lead and gold mining.
AS western people, we should al
take deeper interest in the problems
Of our mining industry which normally
turns hundreds of millions of dollars
oyeF to workmen in wages.

A COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
IN EVIDENCE.

The County Dairy Committee will
meet Friday at 2 p. m. in Parowan to
complete the business necessary to
the organization of Cooperative
Creamery to take over the business
of the creamery now in operation at
the Branch College.
The interest shown at present in the
undertaking should make possible the
operation Of the new proposed plant
at an early date in 1922.
Farmers should boost the project
In every way to make possible larger
cream checks.
