Kansas Wheat Growers Need
Have No Fear-MOhler.
And Late Heavy Rains Have
Killed Chinch Bugs.
OPTIMISTIC OVER SITUATION
Secretary MOhler Sees a Good
Crop for June Harvest.
Hessian Fly Has Done His
Damage i'm the Fields.

There is little danger of rust in the
Kansas wheat and the heavy rains of
the last two weeks have killed all liv-
ing cninch bugs, according to J. c.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture. Kansas wheat has
never suffered seriously from rust,
Mohler says, and recent reports have
scarcely mentioned this damage in a
summary of conditions.
While he will not issue u special
bulletin on conditions and will not dis
cusS wheat conditions officially until
his June report, Mohler is inclined to
be optimistic concerning the Kansas
situation. In some instances the rains
have damaged the crop, Mohler ad-
little loss. Most of the damage by
the chinch bug and Hessian fly has
been done. The fly caused serious
damage in a number of counties and
tricts were hard hit A general loss
of Il per cent was recently claimed
by Mohler as a result of the ravages
of the fly and bug.
drowned most of the living chinch
bugs. But the season of rejoicing
came too late. The bug has deposited
it's eggs in the growing wheat fields
weather, Kansas can expect the pro-
duction of a new chinch bug crop.
Years of Biggest Crops.
81 am inclined to look at the situa-
ton in an optimistic manner. said
Mohler when asked concerning dam
age to wheat as a result of the rains.
There has been so little mention of
rust, that there is hardly a chance of
serious damage from this source. In
fact, Kansas has never suffered seri-
ously from rust and some of the
states biggest wheat crops have been
produced in the years when unusual
rainfalls were reported.
1.-The Hessian fly and chinch bug
have already done their damage.
I'm the main the wheat that is down
as a result of wind or rain, will be up
again as soon as there is some sun
shine and warm weather. So L really
anticipate only a small loss to the
wheat crop as a result of the recent
weather conditions
Reports from a number of counties
indicate that continued wet weather
has delayed planting of corn. IN many
districts little or no corn has been
planted. This situation will probably
mean an unusually late corn crop and
perhaps a reduced acreage. Much of
the land which would have been
planted to corn earlier in the season.
will now be planted to kafir, cane or

Austria and Italy in Familiar
Roles of Contradiction.
COntenderS i'm Western Arena
Resort to Trench Warfare.

London, May 27.-Italy and Austria
are now engaged in the familiar roles
of issuing contradictory official COM

fighting, but it is claimed that there
have been as yet no important engage
mentS.
Italy's forces now in the field are
following the course dictated by geo.

toward the River Isonzo and Triest
the other into the Tyrol, where the
rough country precludes any decisive
engagements at so early a date

The Russians at last have admitted
the extent Of their retreat from the

allies from Mons. Out OF breath after
their eastward squirt, the Germans and
the Austriaps now are bringing up re-
Inducements and fresh ammunition
and another great battle will be fought
to determine whether the new lines to
which the Russians have fallen back
are tenable.
According to the Germans the en-

The Italians have as yet encounter

Several families were forced to vacate
and much farm land at the foot of the
bluffs was flooded. One man. William
ChiddiX, had sixty acres of corn COM
pletely covered and the damage will
be great to gardens and farms. The
water backed up the ravines and low
land for about half a mile to the south
and the farmers were unable to get
through to the west.
Families Move Out.
The Teal family, four blocks east
of Kansas avenue, moved out at noon
and the house occupied by J. kull was
completely surrounded by water. A.
A. Rogers. a truck gardener, had a
corn field and some garden land under

Soldier Creek Up Slowly.
Soldier creek is higher than it has
yet been this spring ana it is still ris-

however. entertain little fear of dan

Granville says that the Big Muddy is
out of its banks in the low places and
some farm land is under water

Shunganunga creek this morning is
within a few feet of bank full but
there is little danger of an overflow

Trouble to Railroads.
The heavy rains caused considerable
trouble to railroads last night and
many of them reported small wash

been encountered.

REMOVING PICTURES.
Many Portraits and Engravings Taken
Down at Memorial Building.

On account of leaks in the roof of
the new Memorial hall during Wednes-
days rain, about 100 additional pic
lures and portraits in the historical
society were today removed from the
walls. About 1000 pictures have been
hung on the walls of the historical So
ciety and Secretary Connelley stated
that many were jeopardized by the
condition of the roof
During Wednesdays rain, pans
buckets and tubs were placed on the
top floor of the building to catch the
water. Walls of the building were also
damaged by the rain, which seeped
down the wall and disfigured and
loosened the plastering. 1t was stated
at the Memorial hall today that on sew
eral occasions following heavy rains,
it had been necessary to remove pic
lures from the walls

T0DAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago: May. 27.-wHEAT-Excess
rains that meant serious injury to crops
gave strength today to the more active de-
Hveries of wheat. The May option, in
which trade was almost at standstill
proved weak result of large ship
ments on the way here to be rendered on
the current months contract prices for
July and September were somewhat affect
ed by cables being unresponsive to yester-
days sharp declines on this side of the
Atlantic. The market here after openin g
l cent off to 1 cent up scored material
further gains in the deferred months.
A subsequent big break in quotations
for May pulled down prices for the rest
of the list to some extent, but the new
crop months rallied. The close was steady
oAc down to 1 cent up compared with last
night.
COMMISSIONS complaints as to field
conditions in Iowa had a bullish influence
on corn. 1t was said the planted acreage
in Iowa might be greatly reduced. Open
ing prices, which varied from 3s61 ac to
1850 higher, were followed by additional
upturn.
A little reaction which resulted from
the setback in wheat was not of a lasting
sort. The close was firm at lie to 1Ac
net advance
OATS-Oats developed firmness with
other cereals Advances, however, were
relatively small
VISIONS-Proyisions took the same
course as grain. An upturn in the hog
market was a decfded help.
