OCEANS OF WHEAT!

Wall Street may be stepped in

care. For Kansas has l34 million
bushels of wheat!
One hundred and eighty.four
million bushels! The figures arc
incredible. They are toe big to
have meaning. The mind doesn't
get them. About all that the aver
age man can grasp is that the yield
is almost exactly double the biggest
previous yield in the history of the
State-and that was a yield that
made Kansas throw up its hat.
Ore hundred and eighty-four
million bushels! At an average
