course of instruction, became himself
an Instructor.
Mr.. DeFord took part in all the

A Larger Wheat Area sown.

If Kansas should mature a wheat
crop next year up to theproportions
of the present promise, the state
would turn out about 1l0,000,0OO
bushels, enough to feed almost third
of the entire population of the United
States for a year.
F. D. COburn announced that the
area of fall sown wheat is. 100000
acres, the. largest ever planted and
an acreage of IL per cent over that
of a year ago. The condition of the
crop is ninety-seven, six points higher
than year ago and the highest since
1900
Generally speaking moisture has
been ample, much of t1e wheat has
made rank growth, affording excellent
pasturage. All counties except nine
show an increase in the area.
An investigation into the feeding
of wheat to live stock, owing to the
scarcity of corn, indicates that 16 per
cent of the crop of 1913, or about
liz million bushels, will be used for
that purpose

Hessian Ely in Saline.

While the weather conditions are
discouragiEg to commercial interests
the farmers say the work of the Hes
sian fly has been greatly reduced and
that the wheat fields show improve
ment and recovery from the damage
done earlier in the season. The dam
age in some parts of this county was
so great that some fields had to be
reseeded. Joseph Lockard, a Saline
county wheat grower and former rep
resentative from this county, says the
fly will do no more injury this fall
at least, while other farmers, declare
their experience indicate the exter-
mination of the fly by the weather
conditions. The condition of the
crop, according to Lockard and other
growers, is generally good. Similar
conditions prevail in other Central
Kansas counties. Nearly two inches
of rain has fallen in ten days with
heavier fall in western counties.
