Wichita Eagle: The condition of
the Kansas wheat crop to-day sur
passes anything in the record. Not
a word of complaint has been heard
from a spot in Kansas. The govern
ment report last heard from put the
condition at about Sc per cent of full
crop, but it is now considerably over
100 per cent. There never was first
of May when wheat showed as fair q
promise as it does today wherever the
seed has been put in the ground,
Owing to the favorable season, the
area was no doubt considerably in.
creased after the reports were in last
winter, and it may now approximate
4 million acres. On this acreage, il
the crop reaches the average of 1889
twenty-five bushels per acre, we viii
harvest this summer 8s million bush
els of wheat, exceeding the greatest
crop ever produced in or out of Kan
sas. In 1892 Kansas produced "a!
million bushels of wheat, the largest
crop ever made by any state.

A BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.

Mr.. James Fsrr, one of the substan-
tisl farmers of Elm, on Thursday last
passed the fiitieth milestone of life,
and in order TO make it one of the
real events of his life about seventy
five of his friends and neighbors, in
response to an invitation from his
wife and daughter Edith, gathered
at his beautiful home about the din
ner hour to help him celebrate. Mr..
Farr himself was the last to arrive
upon the scene; and no one seeing the
look of establishment visible upon his
face could doubt that it was genu-
inc surprise. However, his true Eng
lish suavity did not forsake him. and
he at once placed himself and COM
pany perfectly at ease and thor
oughly delightful time was enjoyed
by all. The afternoon was far spent
when the company dispersed wishing
the host many happy returns of the
day.
In memory of the occasion Mr.. Farr
for the balance of his life-if he does
not have another fire-can have the
satisfaction of sitting in an easy chair
and reading from family Bible.
