Soaking rains, the best in three
months, fell in nearly all parts of
Kansas this week and either broke or
effectualIy relieved the drought in the
central and western counties, accord
ing to the reports of weather bureau
CORRESPONDENTS. Many weather bureau
stations measured totals of more than
2 inches of rain and some exceeded
8 and even 4 inches. Temperatures
were mild, exceeding IS degrees on
one or two days, and this, with the
abundant moisture. made fine growing
conditions.
Wheat is up and in excellent condi-
ton over all the eastern half. except
the north-central counties. and is be-
ginning to furnish considerable pas
ture. In the western and north CELL
trail counties not much is up yet but
termination will proceed rapidly with
the added moisture and stands that
lad begun to droop in the dry weather
will revive.
Cribbing corn was delayed by wet
fields and favored by the abnormally
high temperatures 1t has made good
progress and is half done in number
of counties.
Pastures have been revived by the
rains, tho it is rather late for much
growth. Young alfalfa has been given
a fine start. Field work generally was
held up by the wet spell. The ground
is now in fine shape for fall blowing
and in most sections has plenty of
moisture stored in it to supply the
needs of several months to come.
