devised, has enabled the allies to tear
away these entanglements.

Kansas today by J. G. Mohler, secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture.

that the commercial value Of her crops

of the same crops ten years ago. The
valuation of s261.955.494. placed on

valuation of crop productions and
live stock has increased 270 million in
those ten years.

The valuation of the several crops
