Topeka-Disturbing reports Of de-
clining wheat prospects in an import
ant portion of Kansas were received
by board of trade men the other day.
Those who have kept informed about
the weather knew that the bountiful
rains that have been falling nearly
everywhere else in the country had
not reached southwest Kansas, but
they were surprised by the number
and character of the crop damage
reports that came over the wires.
They indicated that the crop prospect
has been seriously reduced in the
80 counties extending from Harper
west and from Barton south. Fifteen
of these are important wheat coun-
ties and the entire dry area includes
about 100000 of the 7,z50,000 acres
of wheat in Kansas. Dodge City, in
this area, has had IA of an inch ,of
rain this month, and at Macksville
the precipitation has been go of an
inch.
This section three weeks ago prom
ised to furnish 35,000,000 bushels OF
the 124,0OO,OOO bushels indicated for
the whole state by Secretary Co.
burns report. The present informa'
ton indicated that this estimate
would have to be materially reduced,
some observers reporting as much as
so per cent deterioration, and one
we'll known grain man at Anthony, T.
X. Miller, said that the damage is rs
per cent.
Even If there should be loss of
so per cent in that area from the
prospect on May /, the state could
still raise more than 1OO,OOO,00O bush
els, and the largest crop in its history
There have been no important com
plants from any other section.

plants from any other section.
-O
The brewers still have hope that
Kansas will relax in it's enforcement
of the prohibitory law, or that the
prohibitory question may be sub
mitted to vote of the people again
and they will make Kansas a wet
state. Six years ago John S. Daw-
son, then an assistant attorney gen.
eral, brought suits which ousted all
the brewers doing business in Kan
sas. Each company owned consider
able property in Kansas, which they
rented to men to be used for saloons.
The companies had property in Leav-
enworth, Kansas City, Kan, Wichita
and in Cherokee and Crawford coun-
ties and in few other wet spots Of
the state. The companies transferred
the property to some stakeholder, In
whose name it still remains. Efforts
of other persons to buy some of this
property, much of which is quite valu-
able, invariably have failed. The rea-
son for this was disclosed by joint.
keeper in Leavenworth He said he
had endeavored to buy or rent prop
erty formerly used as joint, but was
told by the brewery men that 1t was
being retained and taxes being paid
and repairs made simply because the
breweries hoped that in few years
there would be officials who would
not enforce the prohibitory law sc
strenuously or that there would be {
resubmission of the prohibition!
amendment and 1t would be knocked
out and the property would again b.
available for saloons.
