The Kansas hArvsst Il over and
the largest wheat crop in yecrs h
nov In stack and shock. Some Of
the grain is already threshed and
the remainder will be threshed a.
soon ~ possible.
The abundant rain Of tho past
spring caused greater yield per
acre than usual. Not only was the
yield per acre large. but . greater
acreage was aown resulting In tre-
mendous wheat crop. Rains Just
preceding harvest caused the grain
TO fall to q certain extent and this
necessitated cutting closer to the
ground in order 70 save the grain.
Consequently moro straw was put In
the stack giving the farmers q false
idea Of the yield per acre. Quite
frequently . farmer would estimate
bis crop by his stacks. Some fields
which had predicted yield Of thirty
TO thirty-five bushels per acre only
threshed out about twenty-five bush
els. The favorable reports Of the
crop depressed the market 10 that
the farmers are enjoying \ price Of
about sixty cents per hushel ~ re-
suit Of their padded reports. Per-
haps. BY holding the grain. the far
mers might cause rise In prices but
10 few Of them have sufficient gran
ary room to hold the wheat. that
what could be retained would not
materially affect the market.
Farmers who had the foresight
TO plant corn will be more fortunate.
The acreage OF corn u very much
less than that Of previous years but
what corn there 10. is looking fine
and bids fair TO make u large crop
from . comparatively small acreage.
