ANOTHER IMPORTANT STEP.

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen the
formal announcement of II IN. George L.
Rouse, president of the Wichita Board
of Trade, of the reorganization of that
body, under the laws of the state, into
a regular commercial body for the trans
action of business such as organizations
of that character usually engage in. The
feature of special concern to the city
and the country of which it is the COM
mercial entrepot, is in the interest the
new board will take in building up and
sustaining the. new wheat grade just
established by the recently appointed
and organized board of state grain in
spectors, which is to be known as "Kan-
sas No. 2, hard"
AS President Rouse says, the reputa-
ton of Kansas wheat has gone abroad
under that designation and grade.
and being valued above all other grades
and kinds of wheat, it will be
the especial concern of the Wichita
Board of Trade to maintain the STAN
dard, realizing that, situated in the inte-
rior of the state and in the very heart of
the wheat producing portion, it will de-
volve upon the Wichita market and
inspection to sustain the grade in its
purity, for obvious reasons. This view
of the situation makes it next to impera-
tive, as matter of self defense, for the
farmers and wheat growers of Kansas to
encourage and uphold the Wichita Board
of Trade in its pralsewOrthy undertaking
in their behalf, and for the credit of the
state as the producer of the best wheat
on the continent, and it is confidently ex-
pected that this self interest, supplement-
ed by a patriotic impulse, pride of
state, will prompt generous and gen.
eral response.
