IMMENSE WHEAT CROP,
Kansas L. Likely to Raise
loo, 900, 900 Bushels
This Year.

TorEKA. KAN, Feb. 2l.-The
grain men all say the recent heavy
snow will make wheat crop of
100, 900 900 bushels in Kansas. De-
spite the low price Of wheat and the
dry weather last fall. the area seeded
was over 4,5O0,000 acres, according
TO the latest report OF the State
Board Of Agriculture. This is a greater
area than produced the phenomenal
crop OF 1892. The area that year was
1 100000 acres.
The official crop estimated was
72.500, 900 bushels, but many Of the
best grain shippers in Kansas do not
hesitate to declare that the State
produced l00,000,O00 bushels that
year. Wheat from that crop is still
coming To market.

THE CITIZEN

Fifty years hence, at the rate our pop
ulation is INCREASING, and with the incred-
ible rspidity with which labor saving ma
chinery is being evolved, this country will
be,teeming with human being. and few OF
them will have any hard manual labor to
perform. Electricity will almost entirely
take the place of muscle. People will
have more time to read. The battle OF
lite will be pure contest of brains. That
organ will hence be developed at the ex-
pense of the body, and We will become q
big-headed and smsll-bodied race. I'm
agine man with small, thin body, and
a head on him the size of half-bushel.
This transformation will not of course take
place for many generations, and If gym
nastic exercises become general, the ply

great number Of skilled mechanics. in every line
OF trade. TO lose their situations. and many who
haze heretofore held steady situations now walk
the streets daily. looking for work. but are glad to
be able to get even one or two days a week. or
anything at all TO do. On the other hand, the cos,
OF the necessaries Of life-rent. coal and other sup
plies--is kept up to the same prices as when
wages were good and employment could be had.
Even the most necessary article, bread. Is kept up
TO the same price, and no larger loaves than when
-four cost almost double what II Is now selling for.
Rents are no lower and must be paid as promptly,
and it seems as II the question. what are the
poor going to do?' gets harder to solve each day.
The bakers, at least. must be all getting wealthy;
the property.owners have no reason to grumble. as
rents must be paid. but the mechanics and labor
ers are at their wits end. and can see no relief.

hung the thousand and one odds and

so various were the articles attached to
1t that the fippant began to poke fun.
