it as ending the race issue, and relieving
them from a precarious relianee upon a

they pitched their tent therein be-

WHAT THE WAR WOULD DO FOR

The estimate of the state board of
agriculture that the Kansas wheat crop
of this wear will not be over ~ per
cent of last years crop, will make the
prospective war price of wheat very
desirable for the business interests Of

area will of course be largely counter
balanced by all increase of corn. oats
and other acreage. Taking the wheat
| crop alone into consideration. il this
wears crop Is but a per cent. Of last
