Simmer & THO MAS,

far as the general Kansas situation is
concerned, all reports agree that the
present outlook could not we'll be better
A crop of -00, 100000 bu is expected, and
the first harvesting will begin within a
month. The Trade Bulletin quotes u
traffic official of the Rock Island who
says his road is carrying harvesting ma
chinery into Kansas by the train load,
ard that they expect the best returns
from the state. While this is the condl-
ton at the moment, there are several
impcl tant districts that have had no rain
for three weeks, and In places the too
soil IS becoming very dry, suggesting a
possible drought scare unless relief comes
soon.
