Ben Kelly In Trouble.

We always regret hearing of any.
one getting into trouble, especially so
when the person is an excellent friend
Of ours, as is Ben Kelly of the south
side. Last week one day Ben wan
dered away from the house into his
100 acre corn field to see what the
prospects were for a crop. He had
only gone into the field few steps
when 1t became dark suddenly, and
in walking around hill of corn Ben
lost his bearings and got turned
around. He thought he was walking
out Of the field but instead was get.
ting into 1t deeper than ever. 1t con.
tinued dark and Ben began to get
frightened. Finally he set up q howl
like coyote and Ted came to his
rescue, locating bis father from the
noise that was being made. When
they met Ben wanted to know what
made 1t SO dark. and Ted said he had
not noticed that 1t was dark until he
got into the field. They began look.
ing for light, and by crawling up on
a corn stalk, and Ted standing on his
fathers shoulder, they could Just get
a glimpse Of the sun through hetops
Of the stalks, and that then gave then
the direction to get out Of the field,
which they soon did. Ben says the
next time he goes into that corn
field he win take q lantern and q
compass.

THE KANSAS WHEAT CROP.
Barton County Heads the List In .
Class BY Itself. Whooplai

Kansas has raised about 2 million
bushels more wheat this year than It
produced last year, according to about
500 reports Of average yields per acre
that have been received by the Star
In the last few days. These reports
indicate a. total winter wheat yield
OF a little more than rs million bush.
els. The final estimate by the state
board Of agriculture of the winter
wheat crop Of 1907 was 7S,2s4,OOO
bushels. to which was added about a
million bushels Of spring wheat.
The crop is about so per cent. Of
a full normal crop on the Z million
acres reported as planted last fall.
About 100000 acres were abandoned
In the west on account of the spring
drought; 100000 acres were lost in
the east and central portions because
OF flood and excessive rain, and 175,-
600 acres we're ruined by Hessian fly
in the south central counties, and all
these factors cut down the yield on
the remaining area.
The average yield for the state on
the area harvested was little more
than 121s bushels.
Some Of the important wheat coun-
ties have almost normal crops, but
in many counties the average yield
Is only 10 bushels or less.
Thirteen counties raised 40 per
cent of this years wheat crop. These
counties having the biggest crops,
and their estimated production, are
here shown:
