Show Kamti Varmer's Should timer Lp. New York Sun. It might have been known that in soon us the olliciul reports of good crop in K:inas were sent out, we would bear the wailings of tins Kansas fanners over their desolated fields. Last week it was reported by the agricultural agri-cultural bureau that Kansas grain crops, including wheal and corn, were in line condition, and (hat the harvests of y..,tr there would be greater ihau tin it- ,'.f any tvit year, lint these re-wli re-wli ware, of e.nn--iO, unsfstisfa") ury to thcKflnis farmers, who must alwiys be (liseonteiiied nnd eomfdainin, and o they hastiiit d to send to Topoku the bad news that is now printed there. The arniv worm is carrying ou its ravages rav-ages iu tlio center aud western regions of the, slate; sumo kitid of a bug is crawling about the grain fields south of the K:ivv river; tho Hessian fly Is still opera! iig in six or eight counties; the rust and smut have played havoc along .several lines of latitude, and the heavy rainfall has v rottght as much lamngo in some localities as the. drought has wrought in others. Thus go the tales that arc now told by the farmers of Kansas, who but a few days ago wero preparing to harvest big crops of grain, m-eordiug to the ollieial reports from Washington. Wo apprehend that the Kansas farmers have a bad habit of complaining, complain-ing, uniler all circumstance. t nil seasons of the year, in all kinds of weather, aud that they expect to get higher prices for their crops by telling dolorous tales of the chinch bug and and smut, the army worm nud rust, tho Hessian fly and the hungry tramp, the withering drouth and the occasional deluge. We beg them to cheer uponee in a while. Afler the harvest time is over in Kansas, we shad doubtless learn by trust worti.ystatistics that the crops have been big. |
