WHEAT PROSPECT IN KANSAS.
Misleading RepOrts-The Total Weld
VIII BE About I5.OOO,OOO.

ToPEKA, Kan. June 17.-Secretary
Mohler of the agricultural bureau re
turned this morning from a trip
through the northwestern part of the
State. He declares that the crop re-
ports which have been collected by
various newspapers within the last few
weeks are very misleading.
The fact of the matter is he said.
THAT there never was time II the
State when there were such differe noes
between adjoining wheat fields. In
the solomon valley, for instance. |
found fields which would make hftv
bushels to the cutting. The statement
that the yield will reach $1,000, 900
bushels is also erroneous. There will
be the largest acreage that the State
has ever had. 1t will reach 1900. 900,
and as near as can be estimated now
there will be three-fourths crop, or
fifteen bushels to the acre
The secretary does not expect an
especially large yield from the north
west.
