WHEAT IN DICKINSON TO
REACH s.4O0.OOO BUSHELS
Yield lis Estimated at 20 to "a
Bushels Over County

1.-THE indications are that Dickin-
SON county will have an average OF
26 to 28 bushels an acre for its wheat
CROP" said R. w. Hoffman Of En-
terprise last evening. "The reports
that come to us are from 26 to 3S
bushels and some yields will be
larger than that. This will mean
about 3,40O 900 bushels for Dickin-
son-the largest crop ever gathered
here. The farmers are certainly in
luck and there will be a notable
prosperity coming from the wheat.
''Tn some other counties where we
have elevators there Is not as good
q condition as here, for the corn Is
not in such fine shape as In this
county. OF course we get good wheat
reports from practically all Of CEN
trail Kansas but corn prospects In
this county were never better.
''The rains have perhaps lessened
the quality Of some of the wheat
but ON the uplands where the cut
ting was done in time and the grain
cared for properly the quality will
be high"

THE WHEAT BEGINS TO MOVE


Although little wheat has been
shipped out of Abilene, east bound
freight trains are loaded with cars
OF new wheat bound for the Kansas
City and Chicago markets, and for
get about schedules. One Union Pa
cific train that went through today
had 40 cars of new wheat, and from
shipments like this 1t is easy to see
why the Kansas City market yester-
day reported a record in wheat re-
ceipts. Yesterday million bushels
OF wheat were received in Kansas
City, 7S2 cars in all.
So far the railroad service has
been adequate. On every siding are
cars awaiting the wheat. At Sand
Springs tie Union Pacific has 20
cars on q siding.

ABOLISH THE HOG wALLow?
Proposed at Topeka Meeting-sani
tation Would Halve Cholera

Hog raisers, state officials and
veterinarians who met in convention
at Topeka Saturday declared tina
sanitation alone would cut down thu
loss from hog cholera in Kansas eacf
year a million dollars. Sam Gray
bill, livestock commissioners, called
the meeting to discuss ways Of fight
ing hog cholera.
Some OF those present were firm
in the belief that the hog wallowi
should 60, and that every farmer
who has even q lone SOW should
have q concrete tank in which that
SOW could bathe.
Resolutions asking that Sam Gray
bill rescind his drastic ruling requir-
ing that all hogs shipped into the
state be immunized were passed.
Graybill then proposed substitute
that the order allow the importation
OF hogs either immunized or treated
with serum alone at least 10 days
before being shipped, or that they
be held in quarantine 21 days after
being brought into the state. Such
an order probably will be issued
soon.
The hog raisers also asked Gray
bill to modify his rules regarding
intrastate shipments Of hogs to COM
ply with the government regulations
for interstate shipments, providing
all hogs shipped be thoroughly dis
infected in a per cent creosol COM
pound. Graybill had stated his in
tention of requiring that all hogs
be immunized before shipped, wheth-
er they were to cross the state line
or not. G. w. Berry Of Topeka pre-
sided at the meeting which was at
tended by number of the leading
hog raisers of Kansas.

ton for the Study and Prevention of

a young girl artist, who won a covet-
ed Red Cross Seal design prize, and
then gave it all away to send a con-
sumptive son of neighbor to a san
atorium. "The Awakening of John
