Show A Dry Season iu Kansas. Ex-State Senator Joel Moody, of Linn county, located in Kansas in 1857, and has rarely been out of the state since. Speaking of drought, he says that in 18C0 Kansas had a drought by the side of which this year was good. It quit raining rain-ing in September, 1800, and did not commence again until the following September. The winds were so hot as to cook eggs before the hens could lay them, and not a thing was raised in Kansas. The next season was exactly the reverse, and produced abundantly everything that was put into the ground. He thinks the season of 1890 corresponds to that of 1860, and that 1891 will surpass sur-pass in plenty any year that preceded it. Mr. Moody advises farmers to dam every ev-ery draw that can be used for reservoir purposes, and save the water from running run-ning away in the streams. St, Joseph News. , |
