GOOD KANSAS WHEAT YIELD.

Hutchinson, Kan, July 12-Although
the prospects were discourageing at
the beginning of the season, wheat
experts declare that the wheat yield
of Kansas this year promises 20 be
twenty million bushels more than a
year ago. Several wheat men of ex-
perience who have been looking over
the situation, especially in sections
where shipping has already begun,
express the opinion that the Kansas
crop will reach S5,OOO,OOO bushels. Ex-
cept in spots where the grain was
burned, it is predicted that the quality
will be good. Corn in western Kansas
is in fine shape and Kansas will have
the largest oat crop in many years.
There are thousands of fields that
will make eighty bushels to the acre.
