the state. he is careful and accurate in all
he does. He has been closely identified
with the commercial interests of Kansas for
quarter of century. In accordance with
his usual custom he has gathered with con-
servative care statistics showing the produc-
tions of the state. His figures are accurate
and reliable, and in no particular are they
based upon guess work. Crop estimates are
founded on the best reports obtainsble.
Their market value as estimated by Mr..
Mulvane is if anything too low. So no one
can claim that the totals exaggerate the
facts. They give the value Of the crops Of
Kansas for the year as $209, $50, 900, and
after deducting what the farmers will hold
over and consume for seed and domestic
use, net value of S92, 500, 900 is left for that
portion of the crop that will be sent out Of
the state and converted into money. The
figures which represent the wealth produced
from the soil by the farmers will appal the
most rabid traduCer Of the state. They
leave no room to doubt that the people of
Kansas are abundantly able TO pay all Of
their obligations. Crops have been bOunte-
GUS and the yield Of all products as q whole
has been greater than ever before in the
history of the commonwealth. There are
in Kansas 100000 people and the sale of
the net residue of this years crop will give
to each man, woman and child over $50, or
more than double the per capita money cir
culation of the United States, besides
enough meat and grain to supply their
wants for another year, or until the crop of
1893 is harvested. This shows that Kansas
will be commercially prosperous for another
year at least. The following are Mr.. Null
