To Put the Organization on a

Kansas companies will need nearly
1000 men to bring the national guard
organization to full war footing, ac-
cording TO an estimate today by Cen
eral Martin. That sufficient men may
be recruited, officers will be stationed
in all towns where guard companies
have been maintained and a campaign
will be conducted for recruits. Ap-
plicants for enlistment may apply
either at local recruiting stations or to
officers at Fort Riley.
I'VE will make an active campaign
for more recruits" said General Mar

strength while others are recruited to
almost full war strength. 1t is prob

Prospects Exceed All Former

MOhler Estimates Enormous
Yield of Over 9O,OOO,OOO Blu.

. Wheat prospects in Kansas have in
sixty days slumped SO million bushels.
Report by J. c. Mohler, secretary of
the state board of agriculture, esti-
mates the wheat at 90,226,000 BUSH
els In May Mohler anticipated a
crop of los, 100000 bushels. while a
report for April placed the probable
yield at 1875, 600 600 bushels. Hessian
fly and unfavorable weather condi-
tions are responsible for the slump,

Still this is a remarkable showing
for Kansas wheat and the estimate in
dicates a crop the greatest in the his
tory of Kansas save for the exceptional
year of 1914 and the yield of last
year which was 95, 207 bushels
Corn conditions have greatly i'm
proved in sixty days, according to re-
ports sent to Mohler's office. He esti-
mates a condition Of S1.2-or 1872

an acreage of 6,670,000, or Al per
cent greater than in 1915. Condition
of oats slumped 12.5 points in thirty

of the Kansas oat crop at 63.2 per
