KANSAS CRY, May 2S.-n Kansas
City does not have q great and
fiourishing grain market this year it
will hardly be the fault Of the terri
tory from which she draws her grain
supplies. From ell reports and
personal accounts, Kansas, the chief
source Of supply, will produce one
Of the largest and best crops Of
wheat In her history, equalirg II not
SURPRISING the memorable wheat
crop Of 1854. The grain firms on the
exchange are all iubilant over the
outlook and all expect q large
amount Of business. No effort has
been made to collect anything like
statistics, ~ the grain men depend
for their Information upon personal
tours Of observation, correspondence
from local shippers and the Official
estimates OF the state agricultural
authorities at Topeka. These
reports estimate the yield at all the
way from twenty to twenty-five
bushels to the acre with twenty
three a. q fair average yled. As the
acreage In Appropriated ut L. 500
il 10 reasonable 10 hope that the
Kansas yield will pan out about
5l,UO0,UUJ Dubnels.

There never was q finer outlook
for Kansas wheat" said THlpey
Brothers. There 10 not only going
to be lots Of IL, but It's going TO he 4
very handsome quality Of wheat.
The only thing now that can pos
slbly prevent . big yield IL wet
harvest or bad spell OF wet weather
right after harvest"
"Every place we have heard from
IL going TO produce lots Of wheat, I"
said Davidson 4 Smith. LA Crosse
will send out from 10000 to III, 900
bushels Of wheat. The croIs Of
wheat and oats are going TO be some.
thing immense. The prospects
everywhere are for o very ine yield. !"
Everything II looking fine In the
territory we handle" said Stanton

Clay Centre district Indicate a
heavy yield Of an excellent quality
/ Of wheat"
"Our reports" said J. p. Camp
bell q Co., indicate q magnificent
crop. The wheat Is filling up plump
and heavy, and we expect q fine
| quality Of wheat. We estimate the

600, 600 or 10000, 900 bushels"
1--WE see nothing to prevent n
magnificent CROP" said q represent
tative Of the Kirkpatrick-Ch
pher company. We have not heard

commission company. THE only
bad spot we have heard OF through

thing else looks fine, and we expect
about e, 1908, $50 bushel Of wheat from
Kansas"
Mr.. A. =. Pierce has Just returned
from . trip down through Wichita
and thence west to Klngman, Mead

Nebraska. THE wheat" said he,
"is looking just a. fine rs Il could
possibly look. lido not think the

better yield and . finer quality Of
