Baby Crop Short

In corn, wheat and oats Kansas

with a message that out Of those
three crops alone it made $15,
OO0OO0more than any year before
in its history, the sad admission
must be made that the StOrk
came to Kansas more than 1000
less times in the last fiscal year
than in the same months of 1907
and 1908.
The whole baby crop for the
flower state for the last fiscal
year, concerning which all Stats
tics are now collected, numbers
23,850. The fiscal year of 1907
1908 returned a total of $3.50 ba
bies in Kansas. At that time the
antagonists of race suicide were
worried; now they are scared.
The births for the 1906-19O7 fis-
cal year tOtaled 1890. It was
then declared with much trepida-
ton that perhaps Kansas pro
