RAISED IN SO YEARS
Figures Show 31,254h496
Bushels Harvested.
AVERAGE YIELD Is IA. 8
Prof. IsIey Makes Report on
Kansas Crop.
AVERAGE YIELD Is 14-4. 5

Prof. W. H. Isely of Paramount who is
statistician for the Chamber of Com
merce. filed the following report yesterday
afternoon. This report will be Of interest
TO all Kansar- md especially to residents
OF this county,. as it concerns the large
wheat crop of this year in Kansas:
1.-The monstrous wheat crop of the pres
ent year has given Kansas an added pre-
eminence among the worlds wheat pro-
ducers. The wheat yield in Kansas for
the present season will aggregate more
than one hundred million bushels, or
about one thirly-fifth Of all thew heat
produced on the entire globe In this con-
nection it is of interest to the people of
Wichita to know that Sedgwick county
stands well in the list of wheat producers,
being credited by Secretary Coburn with
a WELD of 1916. $50 bushels This is
handsome showing, although not equal
to the crop of 1901. when the county pro-
dueed over three million bushels of
wheat.
a further study Of the official fig
ures of the state agricultural department
reveals the fact that wheat raising in
Sedgwick county, with the exception of
a few ayers, has always yielded a bount-
fuI return. Below Will be found figures
of the annual amount of wheat produced
in this county during the past quarter OF
a century Thirty-one million, two hun
dred and fifty-four thousand, four hun
dred and ninety bushels is the grand ag-
gregate for this period. The value OF
this wheat is reckoned at the princely
sum of $l9. 725, 341. of nearly s2o,0OO,O00.
further investigation shows that the av-
erage Weld during these twenty-siX years
has been fourteen and four-fifths bushels
per acre The yield by years follows:
1878 $50 s3S 1879 697 100; 1880 9i2,0 l0; 1881;

Jacob Vail, contractor and car.
penter of Canton, Tuesday filed an af-

threatening letter in his capacity OF

Vail charges that the letter threat
ened to place him upon the mer-
chants blacklist as dead beat and
that his name was sent around to- all
the grocers and butchers in the city,
and that he was thereby injured in
his credit and reputation.
The affidavit was fled with Justice

be issued for 'his arrest Tuesday af-
ternoon or evening. The Canton Mer.

of the butchers and grocers and De-
Witt is their secretary, doing the
He has form of notice which he
sends out and 1t was this form that
Vail received and which will be used
as the basis of the action. The pres
ent suit is claimed to be a criminal
one under the state law, and Vail
states that if he secures a conviction
he will bring an action for damages
later on.
THE LETTER.
It is said that there are two or
three other similar cases which will
be brought if the first one is success
full. The claim is made, and the
grocers do not deny it, that when a
man or woman does not pay their
bills. every merchant in the city who
is member of the exchange is noti-
fed and there is list kept for ref
erence. 1t even extends to other
cities where similar organizations are
maintained.
The form of notice which Vail re-
ceived was as follows:
