crop. Maximum temperatures un

Much of the acreago which, Buf

Xthe wheat growing business. Theso
fields will not yield normal crops,
but may be from 50 to 75 per
cent of what adjoining, unfiosted
fields, usually yield.
The district from. I'rencolt to
the Knake river gives promise of
having one of the best wheat crops
in several years, All nlong tho
lilghway leading to IMeasaut View,
and in the upper Kureku l'lat dis
trict from Clyde cast and north,
; vferuutlful stands are reported. The
frost tended to cut the prospect in
the west end of KureUa Klat about
Kureka anil below.

duce more than their usual ton

was no frost damage in the big
dist rlet extending f rom beyond
Pleasant View, to Ktarbuck and

Karly varieties of wheat are be

many larms of the district. The.
ripening process Is quite pro

'Sun Paintings"
Made of Foliage
JUCNVKU. Colo., (.VP) Leaves,
grass, stems, weeds and other
plants are used by M rs. Tansy
Stockton, i'enver artist, instead of
h'-- water colors and oils for tho
newest work she is showing, which
she calls "sun paintaiugs."
"Tile state is my palette." says
Mrs. Stockton. She creates a "sun
painting" by gluing to a special
kind of paper all the foliage which
she and her husband pick during
their summers in Colorado.
Many of lier "paintings' aro
drawn from oubjects in Mesa Verde
national park In the southwestern
part of Colorado. Mrs. Stockton
has x discovered, she says. that
clouds and waterfalls are as easily
exeruted with milkweed and wild
thistle as with oils and water col
ors. She uses the wild tobacco for
gray hills and mountains; Often to
find the m oases for her unburn cre
ations, Mrs. Stockton must make
trips of several miles through
waist-deep snow.
