New Worries In Wheat Belt Saturday morning's record low temperatures, heavy weekend rains and hailstorms gave central and western Kansas wheat growers a new batch of headaches Monday. Effect of the below freezing temperatures which prevailed three to lour hours over western tiers of counties from Goodland to Garden City early Saturday will not be determined for about a week. While this group was sweating out the freeze which tied a 43- year mark for the area, farmers in the middle of the state north and northwest of Hutchinson began to wonder about the possible weed menace following a series of heavy rains. Farmers In the extreme southwest corner of the state will be surprised, but moat areas in Pawnee, Barton, Russell, Ellsworth, McPherson and Saline counties have received up to five inches of rain during May. With the plant short and the stand none too heavy on many fields, growers are wondering if the abundant moisture will bringj on a rapid growth of weeds before 1 the crop matures.

ui that area say farms wheat has enough moisture to mature. Any additional downpours willj be harmful, although boosting pas- row crops.
