WHEAT CROP NOT MOVING.
Rains and Unreasonable Weather Have
Delayed Threshing.

Salina. kan, Aug. 6.-According to
Union Pacific trainmen, wheat is not
moving fast enough to be noticeable.
A few cars are being hauled east
daily but the big movement has not
begun.
Trainmen state that as here. inter
mittent mowers continue to fall in the
west and this is keeping back thresh-
ing AS a result most of the wheat
still lies in the stack.
Until the weather becomes dry and
settled which it has as yet shown no
signs of doing, there will be no great
movement of wheat in this vicinity.
Usually at this time. of year special
wheat trains and extra trains hauling
wheat are doing business here But
as yet the Union Pacific has installed
no wheat trains and it is not known
when this will be done.
