THE WEST AND THE WAR.
Foodstuffs and Horses Kansas Quota
to Belligrents.

While the east is filling its Golfers
with the expectation of war munitions
to Europe. the west is getting good
share of the fortunes of war in the
expectation of grains and horses. This
applies in particular to Kansas.
Despite the fact that the western
wheat crop was somewhat of a disap-
pointmept in quality and quantity. the
demand is unslacked. Rains during
harvest time and other reverses have
hit the Kansas wheat grower hard
this year. A better price, millers say,
will be the result.
Storage facilities in the west are
better this year than last and with the
price of wheat sliding on the scale be-
twent 80 cents and $1.04 in Chicago,
Kansas farmers are holding for still
higher prices. In Topeka the market
is sliding between go and 95 cents

to Charles A. Jordan and Ralph N.

The university, the Agricultural col

located largely in the grain belt, has
been leased for grain rental
Figures compiled show that since
the lands were set aside for the use
of the institutions. the Kansas State
Agricultural college has sold 1886
acres at an average price of $5.SS an
acre, while 44,033 acres of land of the
University of Kansas sold for $500 an
acre. The lands of the normal schools,

Mr.. Harrison pointed out that the
price of the university was fixed by
law, but that the lands of the other
institutions were disposed of later at
public auction.
