Kansas—Its   Winter and its Crops.
Editor* Indiana Farmer:
We have had a very pleasant winter,
with but few cold days and very light
snow. We are having an unusually backward spring. It has been more like the
March weather of Indiana, only not so
wet. It has been windy the most of the
month, with several days of flying snow,
half the oats is not sowed yet. It should
have been sowed three weeks ago. Almost all the cultivated land is In wheat.
Many farms have not an acre left for corn.
If the supply and demand regulate the
price of the next crop, those who raise
corn this season will get a good price for
it. We had a light crop last year and lt
will all be exhausted by the time another
crop is raised. Here we pasture the growing wheat all winter. There has been
several hundred cattle wintered here on
the wheat. We depend almost as mnch
on the winter pasture of wheat as we do
on the pasture of grass in summer. Many
consider lt a benefit to the wheat. There
are fat horses and cattle here that have
not had a bite of grain this month. We
have but little rain here during the
winter and what does fall soon sinks into
the ground, so that the top dries In a day
or two; it Is never muddy.
The ground here is not as compact as lt Is
east. The tramping of stock keeps it from
getting too loose on the surface. Freezing
and thawing does not lift the wheat plant
out of the ground as it does where the
ground is wet. Three-fourths of tbe time
this winter two horses could haul 50
bushels of wheat on the dirt roads. There
is not half enough land here for rent to
supply the demand. It is harder to rent a
farm or field here now than it was in Indiana 10 years ago. D. M. A.
Rome, Kan.
It was probably the man who married a
rich wife who first started the joke on the
