Lush Pastures Now Replace Drought Area Tr» Kansas
* * *. ->\ t-' t ~v '>v' "' -j "A - ,*>^S
LIBERAL, KANS.—Southwest Kansas, declared a drought disaster area last summer is now
furnishing lush wheat pasture to thousands of sheep and cattle. The above is part of a flock of
10,000 grazing on the Frank Boles farm northwest of here. They were shipped in from Blanding,
Utah.
This scene is common in the southwest section of Kansas now, where veteran farmers say pros
pects for a bumper wheat crop next year are the best since 1947. If not pastured at this time, wheat
is apt to grow too big and tap subsoil moisture which will be needed in the spring while the crop is
maturing.
