proportions, was none the less apprc-
ciative, however, and was so persist

splendid orchestra that Mr.. Spiering,
at the conclusion of LISTS sym

from his long established rule not to
give encore numbers, responding with
an arrangement of Mendelssohn's
Spring Song" Well-defned shading
and sonorous quality of tone are fea-
which were, prominently brought for
ward in the ''Meistinger Norspeil' by
Wagner, which opened the program,
the closing number being Rubinstein's

SMILEY ON WHEAT.
Grain Trust Secretary Thinks That It
is Badly Damaged.

There are probably a half million peo-
pie in Kansas who are just now more
vitality interested in the outcome of the
wheat crop than in any other one sub
1ect. The entire population of the cen
trail third of the state is watching the
wheat fields and the skies with a great
amount of anxiety, and there are a good
many other people-both merchants and
IarmerS-in other portions of the state,
who are interested along the same line.
E. J. Smiley, secretary Of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association, is giving out
a report that shows a bad condition in
many parts of the wheat belt, but Mr..
Smiley'ss information comes from grain
dealers and not from farmers. It is
pretty generally agreed, however, that
the wheat is greatly in need of moisture.
The millerS seem to think that the
damage has been considerably over
estimated. There is nearly always a
wheat scare in April or May, but the
wheat frequently pulls through, even
after many people who are fond of max
ing estimates have killed it all off. There
is no doubt but what last years bumper
crop viii be considerably cut short this
year, but if conditions are at all fayora-
bic from now on it is likely that Kan
sas will have plenty of wheat to keep her
mills running.
And Kansas is not the only state
where the wheat crop is threatened. The
northern wheat regions have been dry
this spring, and some of the spring
enough moisture to sprout it. Other
states are also dry and some of them
have other dangers to contend with as
well as dry weather
If other parts of the country are also
cut short, Kansas may produce its share
of the wheat crop after all. Last year
Kansas raised one-seventh of all the
wheat raised in the United States.
