ANXIETY ABOUT DROUGHT.
Cattle and Corn Mill Suffer If Huh, Does
Not Come Noon.
The wheat crop in Kansas is being
harvested but the fate of the corn crop
fr and pasturage in tho state for the re
mainder of the season is in doubt. The
corn is late and is in fairly good condi
tion, but will need rain soon if the hot
winds continue. The same is true of
the grass which affords pasturage for
thousands of cattle. The cattle deal
ers are not alarmed, or else they would
be rushing their cattle to market.
Hoyond a line seventy-live miles of
Kansas City, Kansas has had a fair
amount of rain this spring and summer
but more in needed right now unless
drought conditions are to develop. The
season has beer, bud for vegetables and
Bmall fruits and the pasturage has been
T thinner and poorer than it has been for
years. The state has been unusually
dry near tho Missouri line since April
13, but Western Kansas has had suf
ficient moisture for tho wheat crop.
The Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Is
land and llurlington railroads 'have
favorable reports from along their
lines about their crop conditions, but
the farmers and stockraisers aro fear
ful that a drought may bo experienced
this summer.
