Topeka. Kas., Juno N.-The farmers Of
Kansas are confronted with serious prob
lem. Ordinarily, at this season of the year,
the corn crop has been cultivated two or
three times. and is out OF the way for the
wheat harvest. which taxes the energies OF
the rural population.
This year the late and cold spring. and
the excessive rains and floods have SO de-
layed the planting of corn as to necessltats
its replanting, and the yield Of this cereal
Is wholly a matter OF chance.

There should be growing IN Kansas now
over 100000 acres OF corn. which, with
favorable conditions. would produce 2Oo.-
Oooc0 bushels. but the unfavorabis season
will reduce this acreage one-third, and the
average yield one-haif.
The farmers OF Kansas Will consider
themselves lucky II they raise 900
bushels Of corn this year.
There Is no division in the opinion that
this years wheat crop will yield 60.000,6 dO

say this is conservative estimate. It all
depends upon the ability Of the farmers to
save this crop.
