IMPLEMENT DEALERS ACTIVE

Than Last Year,
WHEAT CROP ABOVE AVERAGE.

Topeka, April 5,--Reports to the big
Eastern implement and harvester man
ufacturing concerns from their repre-
scntativcs now i'm Kansas inspecting
the condition of the wheat crop are
very encouraging. These special agents
are sent out each spring to find out the
condition of the growing crops, Upon
their reports depend the amount of
machinery the factories send west,
The agents so right out in the fields
and make personal examination. The
big firms combine in securing the in
formation. Each firm is given GER
tain territory to cover. These reports
arc now going in and they show that
present conditions are about so per
cent of the conditions this time last
year. If the weather from now on is
AS favorable as usual they declare that
Kansas will raise from 81, 600, 900 to
~. 600. 600 bushels of wheat this year.
OF course all dealers have an eye out
for information. They know the cnor-
nous acreage of wheat know that the
condition of the crop is far above the
average and in some sections even bet
ter than last year. but at no time is
there anything doing-the competitor
might get onto it.
In this way many reports of threat
encd crop failures go East and imge-
dintely every merchant or business man
with IL line of credit in the section con-
cerned will feel the effect. Then there
is trouble and ,.ixup for months be-
.urr the r,ul f.c., AZ rouad ou.
The facts are that implement dealers
in Kansas City are getting ready for
more business than is shown by the
record of last year. but each concern is
operating on the quiet so far as oppo-
nents are concerned. A railroad man
states that the outlook for shipments |
shows greater volume of business than
at this time last year
