Satellite image of crops growing in Kansas , United States . Healthy, growing crops are green. Corn would be growing into leafy stalks by late June (when this photo was taken). Sorghum , which resembles corn, grows more slowly and would be much smaller and therefore, possibly paler. Wheat is a brilliant gold as harvest occurs in June. Fields of brown have been recently harvested and plowed under or lie fallow for the year. The circular crop fields are a characteristic of center pivot irrigation . The fields shown here are 800 and 1,600 meters (0.5 and 1 mile) in diameter. The image is centered near Sublette, Kansas at about 37.5 degrees north latitude, 100.75 degrees west longitude, and covers an area of 37.2 x 38.8 km. The 'grid' in which the fields are laid out runs north-south/west-east and the dark angled line is U.S. Route 56 . The image is aligned with the satellite orbital track, which is in a 98 degrees tilted orbit. North is about 10 degrees counter-clockwise from up. The image is a false-color presentation made to simulate natural color. The 3 bands that were used are in the green, red, and near infrared parts of the spectrum. ASTER does not have a blue channel, so any blue that can be seen was created from the other bands.

“A Little Forecast of Coming Events” Cartoonist: Edward Windsor Kemble Source: Harper's Weekly Date: September 14, 1912, p. 9 In early September, supporters of Woodrow Wilson interpreted results of the Vermont state election as evidence that the Democratic nominee would win the presidential election in early November. Harper’s Weekly editor George Harvey declared categorically, “Vermont spells Democratic victory.” This E. W. Kemble cartoon appeared in the same issue as Harvey’s analysis of the early state election. The Republican Elephant and Progressive Bull Moose have slid in a jumble to the bottom of the hill to the glee of the high-kicking Democratic Donkey. The Democratic Party did not actually win the Vermont state election, but the state was so thoroughly Republican that the GOP’s smaller than usual plurality was read as an indication of a general national trend away from the Republican Party in 1912. In the 1908 Vermont state election, Republicans polled about 30,000 and Democrats 16,000; however, in 1912, Republicans received just over 26,000 to Democrats’ 20,000, and Progressives’ 16,000. The Democratic total was the largest ever recorded in the state to that date. In November 1912, as predicted, Wilson won the national election, while Vermont was one of only two states that Republican William Howard Taft carried (the other was Utah). The results of the presidential vote in Vermont were: Taft, 37%; Progressive Theodore Roosevelt, 35%; Wilson, 24.5%, and less than 2% for Prohibitionist Eugene Chafin and Socialist Eugene Debs.
