Rainfall, 0.00. II. A. Huston, Director Indiana Weather Service. 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 difficulty of finding a woman's pocket.

Sheibyville, Shelby Co.—The temperature was below average, yet It has been almost continuous sunshine and favorable to growing wheat, as the cold weather retarded its too rapid growth; because it was so dry the frost on the 29th did no injury; there was only one light shower during the week; corn grounds will be ready for the usual time of planting. Rainfall, 0.05. NORTHERN PORTION.

Rainfall, 0.00. II. A. Huston, Director Indiana Weather Service. 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.
