KANSAS WHEAT
T. !. NEARLY ALL IN
STATE GRAIN INSPECTOR SAYS
20 PER GENT IS MOVED.
All Except That to Be Held for Spring
Will Be in Transit by the End of
This WeeI1-The Kansas City. Rail
road Congestion-CornM Movement to
Start Jan. 20. ....N ...... ......'.

Topeka, Dec. 1S.-John w. Rad.
ford, state grain inspector, made his
returns to the auditors office for the
month of November this week. The
month was the best November the de-
partment has had since it was estab-
llshed. The fees turned in for the
month amount to $5,O5S.45, and the
expenses of the department were
$4,O35.4O, leaving the state a profit
for the month of S1,023.05. This is
the second largest month the depart
ment has ever had. The largest was
amounted to s6,4Oo. Asked what per-
centage of the states wheat crop has
already been moved, Mr.. Radford
said: t-. y
TT is a hard thing to estimate, but
from the information have | should
say that 70 per cent has been moved.
We expect the other 80 per cent, or
all that will not be held until next
spring, to be moved by the end of this
week, There will be a lull in our
work from that time until Jan. 20.
when the corn movement will start.
Some corn is moving now, but the
movement will be all we can handle by
the middle Of next month.
''The Kansas railroads are handling
all of the wheat they can now. There
is a lack of terminal facilities in Kan
sas City, but the railroads are doing
better than we expected in getting the
wheat to market. Of course, the
railroad men tell the farmers that
they can handle more grain than they
are getting, but we are in a position to
know that they are working to their
full capacity. I saw two carloads of
cattle in the Topeka yards to-day that
should have been in Kansas City at
daylight. The roads are overwhelmed
with the amount of traffic.
There is one popularity about the
disposition Of Kansas wheat this year.
In former years, it has all gone to the
mills, either in the east or north, but
this year nearly all of it is going to
the elevators to be frightened up and
graded. So much Of this wheat is
coming to Kansas City to the ele-
yators there that it makes more work
for us. The department now employs
more men than usual and has done such
! good work that it has created a de-
Imand for it's inspection and weights.
We now keep two men at each ele-
yator in Kansas City. One man is
| downstairs and the other up, and by
working together they handle grain in
| q, way that satisfies the dealers and
purchasers.
Mr.. Radford called on the governor
and consulted him in regard to the
sharp practices of some of the grain
dealers. He has discovered that some
1 of them mix clipped oats" with their
4 wheat These are oats which have
been husked. There is a law against
mixing the grains.

GRAIN DEALERS COMPLAIN

Say There Is Shortage of Cars for Car
rying Wheat.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Dec 18-Grain dealers of the
northwest are complaining of the conges
ton of freight cars. Cars with wheat
shipped from South Dakota to Chicago re-
Gently were five weeks on the road, and
the. loss in the price of wheat in transit
was 13 cents a bushel. Reports show that
all the elevators are filled with grain, and
in many instances farmers are restricted
from marketing their wheat.
Nevertheless the railroad officials say
there is no scarcity Of cars. It is esti-
mated that four-ffths of the grain in the
northwest has been marketed and that
the showing is considerably under former
estima tes.

A Good. Game.

Last Sundays game at the
Ball Park was one Of the best
that has so far been played here.
There was snap and go from
the beginning, and the hustling
qualities of both teams kept the
fans Ngnessingas to which would
walk OF with the score heavy on
their side. It twas neck and neck
up to the eighth inning, when
the scorer tabled 4 to 4, and then
the Opelousas boys made a squirt
and cinched three runs, and kept
it that way. The ninth inning
was a zero for both, and left the
card Z to 4 in favor of the
visiters.
Two fine games will be played
tomorrow, Sunday, and on Mon
day, when the local team will
cross bats with the St. Martin
