The week just passed was fine one
for spring work and all growing crops,
according to reports from 100 CORE
spondents of the weather bureau.
Rains fell frequently, but they were
generally light and did not make
fields too wet to work for more than
a day or two. The weather was warm
and summer like the first few days
and rather cool the latter part. with
temperatures uncomfortably close to
freezing in the northwest counties, but
the average for the week was some
what above normal generally, which
was sufficient to stimulate crop
growth.
Conditions were ideal for wheat
and its progress was all that could be
hoped for. In the eastern half 1t is
looking fine, except that it is ranker
on low grounds than is considered de-
sirable. In the western half there
are some fine fields, but a very large
per cent of the crop there had such
a late start-much of 1t not showing
above ground until after March l.
that weeds are threatening it serious
ly. In the eastern third and south
central counties wheat is from one to
two feet high. Much of it is in the
boot and heads are showing in the ex-
treme southeast counties. In another
week it will be in the boot in the
northeast and some of the north
central counties. In the western half
the bulk of the crop is not more than
s inches tall. tho there are some
fields considerably further advanced.
1t will be two or three weeks before
it comes into the boot in the north
west counties.
Corn planting made rapid progress
with the drying out of the ground.
Fifty to as per cent of it has been
finished in the eastern two-thirds and
rs to so per cent in the western third
In Harper county some replanting is
reported, due to crusted ground.
Alfalfa harvest has already begun in
the southeast counties In from one
to two weeks it will be general over
the eastern two-thirds of the state
Pastures are making a splendid
growth in all parts and are in excel
lent condition for stock.
Planting grain sorghums and Sudan
has begun in the central and south
west counties and will soon start else
where.
The week was favorable for fruit in
every section. Strawberry picking has
begun in the extreme southeast coun-
ties. In another week it will start as
far north as the kaw valley.

MUDDY WATER THURSDAY
City Commissioner Stanfield Advises
Topel1ans to Boil 1t.


The program of the city water
works calls for muddy water Thurs
day and Friday, clear water Saturday
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. and
then a lot of mud beginning Wednes-
day morning of next week.
= w. A Stanfield, city commissioner
of water and electric lights, stated this
morning that Thursday new lines
would be tested at the plant, with the
result that the water was likely to be
muddy and should be boiled. The
mains will be cleared again Saturday.
and for the benefit of the Monday
washing, will be kept clear Monday
and Tuesday.
on Wednesday morning of next
week, the job OF flushing one of the
eighteen-inch mains leading from the
waterworks to the city will be com
menced. The main hasn't been flushed
for several years, and it will be quite
some job.
The telephone company has loaned
to the WaterWorks department a man
equipped with a field testing set who
will go along with the men at the
point where the flushing is occurring,
to keep in communication with the
power plant.
A pressure of some zoo pounds per
square inch-more than is used for
fire pressure-will be maintained
during the flushing, and eight or ten
fire hydrants will be opened at time
to secure both pressure and volume.

MOTOR CAR AN AID
New Service Has Increased
Revenue on the L. & T.
Road May Be Self Sustaining
Soon, 1t Is Announced.

The motor car which was put on
by the Leavenworth & Topeka rail-
road nine months ago has more than
paid for itself in that time and the in
stallation of more motor car service
may prove to be the salvation of that
road
This is the interesting situation in
the company's affairs, as was revealed
Tuesday when the stockholders and
directors held their annual sessions at
Leavenworth. Among those from To-
peka attending the meetings were o.
B. Cutler and T G. Whiteker-
Reports at the meeting showed that
the motor car has made during the
time it has been in operation 1864
over and above all expenses, including
depreciation. which is 1894 more than
the original cost As a result Cutler
says that the company plans to in
stall another car at once. The new
car will be used to handle express
milk and cream and all kinds of per
ishable products.
Cut Loss 5OsPer Cent.
The Leavenworth & Topeka lost
1000 a month in 1920 but que to the
installation of the motor car last fall
and general Improvement in the
service, this amount was reduced to
$1,000 month last year So far this
year the company's loss has averaged
about $500 per month and Cutler says
II is hoped that the road will be on a
SELF sustaining basis before 1923.
According to Cutler, these deficits
have been met to date by special tax
levies and the creation of benefit aid
districts, and for the same reason he
says the company is able to show at
this time resources in excess of its
liabilities.

ON LAND NARY
Senator Urges Congress to Pro-
vide Rural Homes for
Service Men.

Washington, Aug. 2~S.-Congress is
given an opportunity to do a grand
thing in empire building in connection
with the soldiers bonus. Senator Nc
Nary, republican, Oregon, declared
Monday in. the senate in urging his
reclamation amendment to that meas
IRE. Calling attention that in every wal
the government had provided as aid
land for the veterans, he argued that
there was no good reason for the
abandonment Of this national policy at
this time.
This amendment is not novel in any
of it's provisions" he said.
Its purpose and scope is to en-
courage the development of the agri-
cultural resources of the United States
through federal and state cooperation,
giving preference in the mater of en-
ployment and the establishment of
rural homes to those who have served
In the military and naval forces Of
Che United States in the World war,
the Spanish American war and the
Philippine insurrection.
1T contemplates an ultimate ex-
-penditure for reclamation of arid.
semi-arid, swamp and overlooked lands
in the United States the sun of $780,
OO0, 0Oe.-
''The amendment does not super
sede- or displace the present reclama-
ton law. That law will continue to
operate exclusively in its present
field.
Large acres Of swamp lands, sub
iect to drainage and suitable to come
within the provisions of this amend
ment are located in practically every
state IN the Union. the total extent
being in excess Of 10000, 900 acres.
Under like conditions are over 10000
900 acres of land thirsty for water in
the inter-mountain states and in the
arid oprtions of the Pacific coast
states"
Senator McNary quoted from re-
ports of Secretary Fall and other fed
eral officials showing that thousands
of veterans desired land aid and added,
"A splendid opportunity is hereby
given to congress to do grand things
in empire building. Lands that now
lay barren for lack of water can be
made fertile and lands that are now
burdened with water can be made free
and productive. The ex~-service men
who desire to cast their destiny In
the open country can find rural fields
for the employment of their energies
The social and economic evils that at
e the crowding cities can be parti-
ally averted and happy and healthful
balance between rural and urban life
can be maintained.

Interest Monday centered around
the contest for the republican nomina-

Hiram w. johnson, the incumbent, and
Charles c.. Moore of San Francisco.
One of the warmest political contests

with many former supporters of the
senator now aligned with his political
opponents and many of his former po-
llitical opponents now his supporters.
William u. Stephens, now serving
his second term as governor. is being
opposed for reelection by Friend w

many cases have assailed his methods
since he took office less than two years

he put in operation last year, has given
him u~nwarranted powers.
Governor Stands on Record
The governor seeks denomination
and election on his record, asserting
he has given a business administra-
ton.
Perhaps the most important of the
| congressional contest is in the eighth
district, where Congressman Fordney
nationally known for his interest in
] the tariff, will not be a candidate
j., again. The republicans aspiring tc
the place are Bird j. Vincent and Will
