Higher Prices for Products
Since Civil Struggle.
TEN MILLIONS IN WHEAT
Greatest Acreage In History of
State Next Year.
Years Before Warning Nations
Can Recover.

The European war means big
money for the farmers Of Kansas. ac-
cording to T. A. Borman. president of
the Kansas State Fair association, and
editor of the Kansas Farmer. And
II the war continues for six months or
more the tillers of the soil will receive
higher prices for their produce than
at any time since the Civil war period,
is his prediction.
Mr.. Borman further expresses the
opinion that ten million acres will be
planted to wheat next fall, the great
est wheat acreage in the history of the
state.
In speaking of the influence of the
war upon the farming industry Mr..
Borman said today:
Il have lost no opportunity to gath
er from every source opinions on this
subject. 1 have discussed the matter
with farmers. merchants and bankers
the latter more particularly Of the
small towns of the state and, of which
the bankers and merchants are really
in close touch with the agriculture of
their communities. 1t seems evident
to all that the farmer must realize
long prices for everything he has this
year produced. --'ts.
Advances in the prices Of all farm
products have been marked during
the last two weeks. Should the
European war continue for a period
of six months or longer. think we
will see for the farm products of this
country higher prices than we have
had since those which prevailed dur
ing and following our own Civil war.
1T is to be remembered that it
will be some years before Europe will
be able to re-establish her agriculture
following this war and this condition
indicates to me, at least, that the war
will have it's effect for several years
upon the agricultural products Of this
country.
There is no question in my mind
but that some agreement will be
reached by which the products Of this
country can be delivered to the Euro
pean countries needing them. Last
week shiploads of wheat moved from
Galveston and New Orleans bound for
England. France and Belgium. The
gold was deposited in this country in
payment for this grain. This indi-
Gates, first, the need for our wheat,
and second, that an agreement may
exist as to the delivery of food stuffs,
or at any rate that each country will
take its chance on the delivery OF
those purchases. This movement of
wheat also indicates to me, at least,
that other comm ODDITIES will move with
equal freedom 7,0 e.
The wheat acreage to be sown in
this state this fall will be limited only
to the amount of work it is possible
to do before winter sets in. If the fall
is favorable for seeding, I am looking
for the largest wheat acreage sown in
the history of the state. We harvest
ed this year about eight and q half
million acres Of wheat Of the nine mil
lion acres sown. Reports indicate that
the ground. we will seed this year ten
million acres"

Attorney Robertson obtained no
information tending to establish the
existence OF a state or local organiza-
ton or working combination of whole
sale men for the object of price regu-
1ation. He obtained through Mr..
Witt a copy of the bylaws of the
National Association of Wholesale
Dealers for his own inspection.
Other prices given by him as having
been subjected to war; time advances
were those on spices, cocoanut, bird
seed and canned beef Regarding the

he attributed the advance to the alb
sence Of craft flying neutral flags to
