IN NORTH topeka
Coed Season Ahead for the
North Side Mills.
Potato Harvest Is In Progress
Corn Needs Rain.

E North Topeka u1iIIers are hooking
forward to one OF the mast prosper
aus years they have experienced for
some time The wheat crop has rtp-
ideal conditions. and the berry IS pro-
uounced the finest IN quality that the
local mills have ever received This
does not mean that IL Is the best for
grinding as hign test wheat does not
always produce better baking -four
than lower test. but perfectly de-
veioped grain it is unequaIed-
The wheat crop has only begun to
move, and the maximum viii not be
reached until the middle Of August
The territory tapped by the Topeka
mills produces winter wheat Thus
the mills have an advantage ever those
that get their grain trum the spring
wheat districts where it Is harvested
naiIIed and marketed two or three
months later There Is this disadvan-
{ tage IN the position Of Topeka as
milling center. that it IS halfway
station between the prsducing areas
and the actual market But the fact
that with its Disadvantage IN location
Topeka has attained its present posi-
.tion speaks highly for the enterprise
of the local industry. The brand OF
Hour produced is recognized as Of uni
forrnly high quality and commands the
highest prices on the market
Two Of the Topeka mills which sf1ur
down d year aego have rsopened under
new management and the outlook for
/ the future of the industry Is consider
ed remarkably favorable Conditions
for favorable season are a great deal
better than a year ago

the outlook In the Iowiaud Il is do
I ing fairly well. but on the high ground
the stalks are firing next To the ground

weather continues much damage may
be done

The prosperity of the potato grow
ers IN the kaw valley this season is
thing ia marvel at From the North
Topeka district around ShoreE, the
