Kansas is ~reveling in a 40 bushel corn
crop According to recent estimates,
there are now ripening en- the stalks In
the Sunilower State 35sss000,cQ0 bushels
Of corn. That is a rccor8 breaking crop.
The other crop growing states-Nebras-
ka, Missouri. Illinois, the Dakotas and
the rest--are jubilant over big yields Of
wheat and other grains, but Kansas looks
at her forests Of corn and smiles with sat-,
isfaction. The farmers Of the state stand
ready to furnish johnnycake for the
world at so much per bushel for the raw
material.
The regular crop reports have By impli-,
cation somewhat misreDresented the SIT
uation. 1t has been recorded in these
that the acreage under cultivation this
year is less than last year, and this is
true. But the prodigality with which nas
ture has done what she has been given to
do has more than made up fer this de-,
crease in the area Of land which has been
cultivated.
For example, last year Nebraska pro-
duced 1~50.D0O,Q00 bushels of corn, and
that was considered an exceptionally
large yield. This seasons yield, it is es-
timated, will be fully 320,000,000 bush
els-more than twice tho crop Of last
year.
Again, the corn crop In Kansas last
year was 1870, 000.0o0 bushes. This year
crop experts estimate that e viii be more
than 21a times that amount. State 9th

SO he did. The Duke himself led five
batalions of the Brunswickers into the
gap. and with the charmed life which he
bore on the great day, when these young
and untried troops staggered under the
fierce fire they encountered and the Wig

this country, chiefly in the wild and wool
ly west, and their occurrence has always
startled the reading public. Now comes
from the same land a story Of another
wedding at long range, but this time by
viva voce. Albert Perry Is a-cowboy, and
Emma Meyer is the daughter of a ranch-
man near Perry, o. Z. They had arrang-
ed to be married. A heavy storm had
swollen the streams and made it impos-
sible for the minister to reach the ranch
to perform the ceremony. But a little
thing like that could not daunt the young
lovers. They drove to the bank of the
stream that barred the progress Of the
minister, and he shouted his questions,
and they shrieked their responses across
the boiling waters. The fee must remain
until the waters subside, but Albert and
Emma are man and wife all right.
