said to have employed it, was demon
strated at Pasadena. Cal, recently by
a correspondent of the Scientific

Estimated at Hundred Million
Bushels, Worth $50, 100000.
TOPEKA, Kan. Aug 21-The Kansas
farmer has begun to turn his golden grain
info dollars. The movement of the great
est wheat crop ever raised in the South
west is under way. Elevators are kept
busy receiving the wheat and pouring it
into cars, to be whirled away to the great
markets. But the movement is not yet
well under way Many farmers are holding
grain for higher prices. They are out of
debt have money in the bank. and are not
compelled to sell at once. as they have been
in former years. Others cannot secure
threshers Immediately, although thousands
CT them were purchased this season.
The movement has stimulated all classes
of business. Industrial and business en-
teTprises are seeking locations in Kansas
in order to secure a portion Of the tTads
and prosperity which will follow the mar
keting of the wheat
Every few days the agents of manufac-
turers and wholesalers are in the belt
investigating sites. The wheat crop of
Kansas, 100000, 900 bushels, is worth $780,
coo 000
1t is estimated that this years wheat
crop will require 100, 600 cars. Should any
considerable portion of this crop be thrown
on the market now the railroads would be
swamped. They are now running night
and day shifts in the work of car building
and repairing. The wheat crop of Sa!ina
county alone amounts to 5000. 600 bushels,
worth $1,000, coo. Eight hundred bushels
is counted a carload. Fifteen counties in
the wheat belt harvested an average of
100000 bushels each. So the sale of this
one product Will bring to each of them 81

GUNS NOT DELIVERED.
Alleged Reasons for Delay to Ord
nance Contracts.

nance Contracts.
An investigation will probably be d.
rected by the War Department into the
state of affairs which involves an ordnance
company having a large contract with the
Government for supplying certain kind Of
gun.
It was recently declared that this firm.
which possess contracts for s1,000,oC0
worth of army ordnance. had made use OF
the Frankkford PhiIadelphia) Arsenal 10
complete a contract for supplying materi-
ais to the Colombian Government.
The latter Government purchased George
Goufd's superb yacht. the ATLANTA for a
warship and ordered ordnance from the
firm to equip her, representing about $40.
Geo. Under authority alleged To have been
given the firm by a former chief of ord
nance, with a view to facilitating the de-
livery of certain materials intended for
this Government, the firm concerned Was
enabled to make use Of this plant at Frank
ford in the manufk.tur of cartridge cases.
1t was charged that the same authority
was employed to make these cases intend
ed for the South American purchaser. The
firm, it is said. obtained permission to de-
liver to the Colombian Government certain
parts of guns ordered by the Navy and
user other parts Of guns called for in the
Army contracts.
General Burlington. Chief of Ordnance,
has advised Secretary Root that the firm is
behind in its deliveries. Under the con-
tract of April Is, 1898, only one-half of the
guns called for have been delivered. al
though the material should have been de-
liVeTed d year ago. while under the con-
tract of July IS, 1899, calling for eighty
guns to be delivered last March, no deIfv-
cries it is said, have so far been made.
The proposed enquiry is for the purpose OF
determining the extent of the FIRMS use OF
a Government plant III filling foreign or
deTs. Upon the decision viii depend the
exaction of penalties from the firm or the
cancellation of the contracts.

The cotton is opening with unheard-of

picking will get all the crop. Farmers say
that they wish they had not used a par
ticle Of commercial fertilizer, as It has
made the cotton less abe to stand the

latter which has wrought the greatest mis-

It is no exaggeration to say that in
