Crop experts who have been
gathering data on the amount of

fixing the total bushels at from

data is not complete yet by a

dication that the yield will be be-
tween the figures mentioned
the crops being almost twice as
large as Kansas ever saw before.
The highest yield heretofore
was something over 93,O00,000.
Corn condition in most of the
state is prime, with fair crop
already made in many portions
even if no more moisture falls.
A good general rain would mean
