KANSAS is ALL RIGHT
SO Says Commercial Freight Agent Of
Missouri Pacific.

kansas is all right. ! don't think that
we are going TO have very large wheat
crop this year. but we are going TO have
wheat and there is a great prospect for
a corn and oat crop. as we'll as hay.
The above was the expression of 5. II.
Kilgore. commercial agent of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. yesterday morning. He was
talking TO a reporter for the Eagle about
the crops or. rather. the prospects for
crops this year. Mr.. Kngorc IS a Wichita
man and loyal Kansan lie believes
that this state. like all others. has occa-
sional failures OF crops. but. taking it one
year with another. he thinks Kansas is
the greatest state in the Union.
He has the crop reports of Kansas At
the ends of his fingers. and his talks i'm
terest even people who think they know
something Of the state. lie said yesJer-
day that for the ten years ending with
1900 the winter wheat crop Of the United
States averaged about 600 GO 0ol bushels n
year and that one-seventh of that amount
was raised in Kansas. and il has come
TO pass that 4 rain in southern Kansas
affects the price for wheat I'm the market
of the world
II DO not look for a large wheat crop
in this section Of the state this year.
Mr. KfEore repeated. but when people
say that the crop is an entire fniure
they do not state what is WARE nted by
present conditions. You VIII remember
that we had a great wheat crop last year
but the crop reporters had the wheat an
killed several times before harvest. I
have recently been IN the counties of
Harvey. Reno. Rice. Pratt Klngman.
