GOV. HUMPHREY ON CORN
Also on SOldiers-One Over Counted-the
Other Under Counted


Other Under Counted
Ex-Governor Lyman .. Humphrey of
Independence is in Topeka today on pri-
vate business, but he still stops at the
Copeland when he comes to town.
Governor Humphrey thinks it is a
shame SO much has been said about an
enormous corn crop in Kansas this year.
''This talk about 400,O00,000 bushels
is silly and fail to see what good can be
done by that kind of talk. l don't be-
lieve the crop will at all exceed 100000
GEO. Yes l think the agricultural report
of 201, 100000 was too high. We don't
raiss 100 bushels of corn to the acre in
Kansas. I live in as good a corn county
as there is in the state and the farm
ers in my county think they
are doing well if their crop will
yield an average of forty bushels to the
acre. An agent of the agricultural de-
partment went through our county in
the early fall and talked about seeing
fields which would yield eighty bushels
to the acre. He looked at the tall stalks
from the car windows, but that is no way
to estimate a corn crop, by looking at
the stalks.
"You might just as we'll try to con-
vince me that the report on the number
of old soldiers in Kansas was correct"
'Then you don't think all the old sol
diers were counted in the last census?"
mo, not half of them. l wasn't count
ed for one, and / am convinced that the
estimate made in that last report is fully
one half too small.
81 don't like the gleeful way in which
some people are talking about the dimin-
ished number of old soldiers in Kansas.
It looks very much as though they would
be glad if they were all gone"
