ARE RAISING WHEAT.
kansas Farmers, 1t Is Said, Will Grow
Less Corn Than in Former

salina, Kan, Oct. a.-Many Kansas
farmers are changing their acreage
from corn to wheat and in some SEQ
tions the change is SO great that local
papers say the farmers have gone
wheat crazy" Although Kansas has
for the past two years produced more
wheat than any other state in the
union, it has much larger area in
corn than in wheat. The wheat-pro-
ducing region is only comparatively
small section of the state, while corn
is raised everywhere. Wheat has
been remarkably successful the past
two years, and corn this year was q
comparative failure. Therefore, Kan
sas farmers in many localities have
made up their minds to raise less
corn and more wheat.

Commodore Schley explained to the COM

the batteries OF all our ships on portion
of those of the enemy. This was not ex-
planned as a tactical concentration of our
whole force on part Of the enemy, but as
a division Of our whole fire on several of
the enemy's ships During the time the
commanding officers were on board the
flagship Capt. Evans asked Commodore
Scialey If 1t were his intention to steam al
the enemys ships in case they should start
TO come out. Commodore Schley answered
Certainly and added words indicative oil
