LIGHT RAINS IN KANSAS
Slight Moisture of Week. Added.
to What Fell During Last of
January, Was Enough to Benefit
Wheat Crop.


a few light rains in the eastern half
that totaled less than a tenth of an
inch were practically all the moisture
Kansas received last week, according
to the reports of 100 correspondents
of the weather bureau. No zero
weather was reported, but tempera-
lures fell below freezing almost every
night and rose above that point in the
afternoons, which were generally sun
shiny.
In the south central and extreme
eastern parts of the state the slight
moisture of the week, added to what
fell the closing days of January, was
enough to benefit wheat, which
showed a tendency to green up with
the advent of higher temperatures,
alternate freezing and thawing. The
western half of the state is still ex-
ceedingly dry and. wheat there con-
tinues to deteriorate slowly, tho not
much of it shows above ground. In
the extreme western counties con-
siderable damage has been done by
soil blowing, tho elsewhere this dam
age has been light. Wheat is stool
ing from the Kaw valley south and in
the south-central counties. but not in
the western half of the state.
The ground is being prepared for
oats sowing in the southeast counties.
where this work viii be under way
in q week or two In the central and
northeast counties it is not likely
to start before the fore part of March,
In the southwest counties farmers
are stin threshing, gathering corn
and grain sorghums. Roads have
been good all week for hauling crops
to market.
