DAT CROP
IN MANY SECTIONS

A. M. Gibbs of CookeVille,
representative of the Interna-
tional Harvest Co., hands us the
following report on crop condi-
tions -
Kansas will produce 136, 900, 900
bushels of wheat this year accor-
ding to the estimates compiled
by the State Board of Agricul-
ture. These figures are based
on the present conditions of the
crops The estimated average
yield per acre is 1873 bushels and
the acreage aggregates $3.50. 600.
Should this yield be realized. it
will be second only to that of
record Isl, 900. 900 bushel crop of
1914.
The Boards reporters suggest
that there has been a deprecia-
ton in the Kansas wheat pros
pect in the past month of about
II per cent. owing principally to
the damage of the Hessian fly
and the chinch bug. Of the two
the fly is charged with having
worked the greater injury. That
the fly has spread to parts of
Kansas where it was hitherto a
stranger is indicated by the re-
turns of the Board which shows
such a wide, infestation as the
present canvas. This pest is re-
ported in 81 of the 105 counties
of the State and is mentioned so
far west as in Frego-Ford and
CLARK counties. The fly has done
more or less damage in every
county east of the ninty ninth
meridian, except two and in
these the chinch bugs have ta-
ken it's place. In fact. III the
Eastern third chinch bugs are
responsible for much of the loss.
The heavy rains for the last few
days have put quletus on their
activities and -multitudes have
been destroyed by drowning.
Aside from fields here and
there. reports do not indicate
that the damage from whatever
cause is such as to induce any
considerable blowing up of the
wheat. In fact. it seems to be
the general tendency to let the
fiy-infested wheat stand for even
with the smaller yields promised.
Fair returns are anticipated be-
cause of the expected high
prices. Then, too. the farmers
of Kansas have long since learn
ed that wheat so damaged by
the Hessian fly as to appear
worthless frequently developes
large heads and mature good
yields.
Since the rains in Middle Ten
nesse. there has been great de-
mand for Binder and the sales
will be much larger than the
Nashville Gen'l agc'y had antici-
pated. The oat crop was thought
to be of no value but In many
sections there will be a good
average crop

preference will be given home

Sometimes it is hard to find a
