spondcnts from various parts of the
state. The dry weather was broken
in the lower Kaw Valley by splendid
rains Saturday night, and relieved
elsewhere in the northeast section
and Il few s0uthcentral counties but
fully two thirds of the state com
prising the southern. central and
western counties. is still IN the grip
OF severe drought Temperatures
during the week were above 100 de-
g,'ees on one or more days in almost
every county and ranged from from
1O5 to 10 degrees in many places.
Corn has matured rapidly and In
the central and eastern section Is
nearly all ready to cut. except In the
b tier watered low lands. Late corn
has been hurt badly and early corn
las dried up so fast that much of II
is chaffy Cutting for silos and
shocks has been pushed rapidly this
week in the eastern two thirds of
the state and is well along towards
completion. In some fields corn Is
already too dry to cut
The ground is breaking up hard

slump of 27 points In condition dur
ny August. The Scp,emler iir
rating is 60 per cent Of normal IL
compared with 81 per cent on Aug
ust / and ~ per cent last Septcm
her The ten year average condition
on September has been ~ per cent,
These estimates are contained IN the
monthly report of Edward c. Pax
ton, state crop statistician.
The present rating OF 60 per cent
would forecast probable average
yield Of 20.1 bushels per acre and u
production of 1O6.340,OOO bushels
this year on 5,201,000 acres planted
Last year Kansas produced 93,120,'
600 bushels on 4.195, 600 acres or
an average yield of 22.2 bushels.
The average production OF the last
Ave years has been S5,679,000
bushels. The corn condition In Dick

BACKING OUT AND LIGHTS
What Police Say About The One

The Reflector has received Il com
munication from an Abilene woman
in which she says:

She adds that recently woman
driver who IL very careful about
driving signals was called down by
the police because she had not sound
ed the horn when about to back out
from parking downtown and thinks
that such minor violations may well
be overlooked in view Of the larger
violations that make driving more
or less unsafe on the city streets.
Deputy Marshal r. C. Dederick
was asked about 1t. II have never
warned anyone about sounding the
horn in backing out from parking"
said he. ut may have been some
deputy who was on duty during
roundup week. Anyhow there is no
ordinance requiring such sounding of
horn. The traffic ordinance says:
No person In control OF a vehicle
shall back the same without ample
warning having been given and while
care must be exercised not
to injure those in the rear It does
not require honking, that is a matter
Of judgment. The person backing is
