as to what the yield will be 1t will be
much below these figures. Kansas
will have a big wheat crop this year
in spite of the ravages of the Hes
sian fly and the lack of moisture, but
the ninety million figure is much too
high.
81 would like to see a crop OF Ninety
millions of bushels just as well as
any one else, but my figures are based
on my own observations and the re-
ports which have received from hum
dreds of parts of the state. There can
be no question as to their relia bility
and I am endeavoring to show in my
report the actual conditions as they ex-
ist at this time They cannot grow
better and may grow worse between
now and harvest time.
THE report which 1 issued on the
18th of April was conditional to GER
tain extent upon a certain amount Oh
rainfall which might be expected In
rains failed and in their stead hot
winds cooked the life out of many
fields of wheat and materially re-
duced the yield which might nave
been expected had the conditions been
as anticipated.
"At a conservative estimate there
is a million and six hundred thousand
acres of wheat in the western third
of the state, which is looked upon
as the arid or dry district. Large
quantities of this has already been
blowed up and planted in other grains
and the proportionate yield per acre
will be much less than was anticipated
three weeks or a month ago.
''In Ness county there will not be
as many bushels of wheat harvested
this year as were planted during the
year 1907, and this failure is due en-
tirely to the lack of moisture. as the
Hessian fly has not been found work
ing that far west. There are fav-
ored sections in this county as wen
as in all of the western counties, which
have received showers just when they
were needed and these localities which
are small, will harvest some wheat.
Fully so per cent of the wheat planted
in the seventeen counties in the south
western part of the state has been
abandoned on account of dry weather.
Previous reports made this year
placed the condition of wheat in these
counties at from so to 95 per cent
and the yield will not be 20 per cent.
There will be a big yield OF wheat in
Kansas this season as there arways
has been. but there will be nothing
like 9e.000,000 bushel crop ana such
statements are misleading"
