UnOPS In KANSAS
secretary Coburn Issues Report on
Wheat and Corn.

Topeka, May 81 Secretary F. D..
Coburn, of the state board of agri-
culture, has issued the following crop
report:
"As the result of searching in
quiry into the condition of wheat and
corn in Kansas Ma 81, the state
board of agriculture !. lay issues the
following:
Taking the 1902 assessors returns
for twenty counties thus far reporting,
and the estimates of correspondents in
the remainder, che states area sown
to winter wheate was approximately
5,95l, 900 acres, of which the reporters
say 34.5 per cent, or 2,054, 1852 acres,
has now been plowed up or abandon
ed, against the Is per cent or so re-
ported by them April l. This falling
off, and likewise the rapid decline in
the wheat condition for several days
Immediately following the April re-
port, except possibly in a few locali-
ties favored by intermittent showers,
was due principally to lack of timely
moisture. Fields over-pastured and
weak in vitality were the first to sue
cumb. The present condition of the
remaining 1896, 453 acres is 57.6 as
against "a April l. AS the present re-
port, however, is based on conditions
found May IL, it, Is reasonable to in
fer that the average for the state might
now be safely advanced several
points, owing to the copious, saturat-
ing general rains and other favoring
circumstances to which all plant life
is vigorously responding.
"Of the wheat area now reported
abandoned, sos per cent, 1,041 900
acres, is, or will be, planted to corn.
While the general precipitation came
too late in some portions to be of
much benefit to the wheat, the gener-
Gus downpour dispelled the uncertain
ty in others, and gives assurance of
at least fair yield. Wherever in
sects formerly menaced vegetation,
their career seems to have been sum-
marily ended by the rains. In the
thirty counties yielding nea rly so per
cent of the 10000, 900 wheat crop of
1901, there are reported 2,665, 994 acres
(62.29 per cent which will be left to
mature, with present condition OF
51.19.
Corn planting was generally de-
layed somewhat on account OF the
backward spring, but the recent abund-
ance of moisture, warmth and sun
shine have resulted in good stand
and various growth. Its cultivation
is now being pushed, and its present
condition for the state as whole is
93.45. At approximately the same
time last year its condition was 81. IS;
the year before 93.2; and in in 1899,
when the yield was the second largest
in the states history, the condition
was slightly above 90.

ON THE MILITARY BILL.
Committee From Advisory Board
Will Consider 1t.

Maj. W. l.. Grayson returned yester-
day from Atlanta, where he went to
attend a meeting of the Advisory Board
of the Georgia State Troops. The
Morning News dispatch from Atlanta
gave the details of the boards meet
ing.
Maj. Grayson sought to have the
board decide for the expenditure of the
military appropriation for armory rent
for the various companies, but he was
in hopeless minority in this view He
was representing the officers of the
First Infantry in this connection, as
they have been a unit, practically, in
the view that the money should be so
expended. The companies have each
received $3.50 year that they will re-
ceive no longer.
A committee from the board will be
appointed, Maj. Grayson said, to take
up the military bill that was not
passed by the last Legislature. The
committee is to carefully consider the
bill, making such amendments as it
may regard as wise, in the light of the
many suggestions that have been made
from all parts of the state. The ad-
visory board will consider the bill
when it is reported by the committee,
and will either present it to the Gov
ernor with it's approval, or make no
further effort for the revision of the
military laws that the bill contem-
plates.
Officers of the local military were
greatly disappointed that the advisory
committee decided to expend the ap-
preparation for an encampment, or,
rather, for regimental encampments.
Many of them declare that. it will not
be practicable to encamp all the regi-
ments upon SO slender an amount as
the $13, 900 that is available. 1t is pre-
Gicted that, if no more should be ex-
pended, all the regiments will not get
to camp.
While the officers consider that it
would have been wiser to eXpend the
money for armOry rent and for a state
shoot. it Is probable that the men
would prefer the encampment. as
there is always fun, besides the work
and instruction. in it for the men, when
their organizations go into camp. 1t
is said that the prospect of going to an
encampment will stimulate interest in
all the companies

Teams from All over Country
Gathered in Buffalo This Week.
Tenpn players from all over the

take part in the meeting of the Amer
lean Bowling Congress and the second
championship bowling tournament of
the United States, which will begin to-
morrow afternoon, and continue all
week From the Atlantic to the Pacific
the alley men have swaumed in, to
compete fer the prizes offered and en-
roll themselves as guests of the West
ern New York Athletic Association
The hottest kind of competition is
looked for in all the events, f1ve-men,
two-men and individual. New York
and Brooklyn, more than a dozen
teams strong, will make a strong bid
while all the way west of New York
the cities have sent in delegations, and
syracuse Louisville, Indianapolis, De-
trolt, St Louis, Columbus, Erie, Toledo,
Cleveland Wheeling, Topeka, Cincin-
matt, Pittsburg, Toronto, Los Angeles,
Akron and Kansas City men are there,
anxious to compare their skill with the
better known players of New York and
Chicago
Close followers of the game predict
that no better figures will be scored
than have been made in previous COM
petitions. The alleys are new, fresh
pins will be set up daily, and none of
the competitors have been allowed to
practice upon the tournament alleys.
All these conditions will initiate
against high scoring. and as the visit
ing bowlers will probably make their
visit more or less of a social event,
IL is doubtful if their best form will be
shown.
Sessions of the American Bowling
Congress, controlling organization of
the game, will be held, beginning Tues
day and when the election of new Off
GERS and selection of a city for the next
annual championship come up hot
nights are looked for. In the fight for
the presidency the East is arrayed
against the West. The New York and
Brooklyn delegations are making a
spirited fight in behalf of their candl-
cate Chas. II. Ebbeta, while Chicago
is endeavoring to get all of the West
