Record Acreaoes Of Corn and Sorghum
Planted in State This Year.
Says Mohier.

Every spring crop grown in Kansas
has broken every record for acreages
the state has ever made J. c. Moh-
Ter, secretary of the Kansas Board of
Agriculture, has compiled the figures
on corn and the grain sorghums and
they, too, have beaten every record.
The corn acreage went to 100000
acres, the largest ever known Dry
and wet weather in different sections
of the state have cut down the con-
dition in some counties. but as whole
it looks like the biggest corn year the
state has ever known.
The nearest approach to the corn
acreage was S,589,7OO acres in 1910,
while last year less than million
acres were devoted to the crop. Ap-
proximately 100000 acres of aban-
doned wheat ground was planted to
corn.
The average condition of corn for
the state is 1874 per cent. Until re-
Gently the weather generally has been
too COOL and the corn in the main is
small and backward. In many east
ern counties the soil was for a time
entirely too wet, while in nearly all
the western counties it has been too
dry. Throughout the state much re-
planting has been necessary, amount
ing in the Kaw river counties to more
than one-half the area, while now and
then comes reports of fields that have
been planted as many as three and
even four times. In the more moist
eastern half of the state, where the
larger acreages are found, recent
warmer weather has been beneficial,
although conditions in the western
part continue unfavorably dry. For
corn, rains would be welcomed in all
sections. Cultivation is progressing
and as a rule the fields are reported
clean of weeds.
The same conditions that retarded
corn have likewise been unfavorable
for the sorghums, which require warm
er weather than prevailed when much
of the planting was done and after
ward. Considerable was replanted,
and growth generally has been slow.

AMERICAN FORCE
LANDS IN FRANCE
Advance Guard of Mighty Army
Slipped Across Atlantic &
UnannOunced.
PICK OF SEASONED REGULARS
Body of Fighting Men in
Trenches Soon.

Washington, June zs.-The advance
guard of the mighty army the United
States is preparing to send against
Germany is on French soil tonight.
In defiance of the German subma-
rines, thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting men
with the tan of long service on the
Mexican border or in Haiti or San Do
mingo still on their faces, have been
fastened overseas to fight beside the
French, the British, the Belgian, the
Russian, the Portuguese and the Ital-
ian troops on the western front.
General Sibert in Command.
News of the safe arrival of the
troops sent a new thrill through Wash
ington. No formal announcement
came from the war department. None
will come, probably, until Major Cen
eral Pershing's official report has been
received. Then there may be a state
ment as to the numbers and compost
ton of the advance guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumably sent forward with the ap-
prevail of General Pershings staff,
show that Major General Sibert, one
of the new major generals of the army,
has been given command of the first
force sent abroad under General Per-
shing as commander-in-chief of the eX-
petition.
Was a Big Task.
One thing stands out sharply, de-
spite the fact that the size of the task
that has been accomplished is not
fully revealed as yet. This is that
American enterprise has set a new
record for the transportation of
troops.
Considering the distance to be COW
cred and the fact that all preparations
had to be made after the order came
from the White House the night of
May IS, it is practically certain that
never before has a military expedition
of this size been assembled, conveyed
and landed without mishap in so short
time by any nation. 1t is a good
augury of future achiev ements. The
only rival in magnitude is the move
ment of British troops to South Africa
in the Boer war, and that was made
over seas that were unhampered by
submarines, mines or other obstacles.

TO SAVE NEXTYEAR'S WHEAT
ers Against Hessian FIy-Precau-
tionary Measures Are Urged.

To save the wheat crop next year
from serious and possibly complete
loss by Hessian flies, farmers of east
ern Kansas are urged by entomo1o-
gists of the United States Department
of Agriculture to-take immediate meas
ures against this pest. Reports reach
ing the department from eastern Kan
saS indicate that the next wheat crop
in that region is in serious danger
because of the abundance of flies now
in the wheat stubble. Briefly, these
are the preventive measures recon-
mended:
/. Pillow under deeply all wheat
stubble before August Is. 1t is very
important that the stubble be buried
as deeply as possible, in order to pre-
vent the flies from reaching the sur
face of the ground.
2. Destroy all volunteer wheat by
cultivating, with a disc-harrow or 9TH
erwise, all plowed fields where such
grain appears. A second shallow cul-
tivation may be necessary to accom-
plish this. One neglected field car
rying over volunteer wheat stubble
may serve to reinfest an entire neigh
borhood with the pest.
3. Sow wheat this fall at the fly
free date. This information may be
obtained from the county agent, the
state entomologist, or the specialist
in charge of the federal chronological
field station. The state leader of
county agents in Kansas is E. c. john
son, and the&state entomologist,
George A. Dean, both at the Kansas
State Agricultural College, Manhat-
tan. E. o. G. Kelly is in charge of
the Federal chronological Field Sta
ton at Wellington, Kansas.

TOLD BRIEFLY
the NEWS OF SEVEN
DAYS IN ALL LANDS
War News.

Realizing his danger, the German
commander is fighting for Lens like
q wolf in a corner. Lens gone means
that a large sector will have to be
abandoned So inside a salient some
what resembling the shape of a dogs
head the Germans are hanging on ap-
last hope goes.
Three British naval airplanes fought
4 battle with ten German machines
over Flanders recently. An official
account of the fight says one and
probably three of the Germans were
driven down. All the British airmen
returned safely.
r r r
An official report from British head
quarters in France reads: Our sue
cess southwest of Lens was followed
up on both banks of the Souchez river.
Progress was made by our troops in
this area on a front of about two
miles A raid attempted by the enemy
southeast of Ypres was repulsed by
our machine gun fire"
r r. r
The Belgian army is larger, better
equipped and more determined today
than it was at the beginning of the
war, Lieutenant General Leclercq,
military member of the Belgian mis-
sion, said in recent address to the
National Press Club.
r r. r
The massing of German troops on
the Aisne front means the coming Of
a new offensive launched at the French
by the forces of the crown prince, &C
cording to the view held by the best
military critics in London.
r. r r
The war situation at the present mo-
ment is one of possibilities rather than
activities Notwithstanding the big
guns are still busy. The Belgian re-
port of considerable activity in the
Dixmude region gives rise to all sorts
of speculation. Whatever the future
holds, it is well assured that the
French are prepared for almost any Of
fensive that the crown prince may at
tempt.
A hostile raiding party was re-
pulsed by the British east of Epehy.
The enemy left several of their dead
on the wire entanglements and a few
wounded Germans were made prison
ers. An attempt to capture one Of
the British posts near the Guillemont
Farm, in the same neighborhood, also
failed.
+ r. r
Heavy attacks by the Germans
north of the Aisne have been repulsed
by the French troops with severe cas-
ualties, an official communication
saws Tn the attack along a front of
one and one-fourth miles the Germans
only at one point succeeded in pene-
trating the French trenches.
