HOME FROM KANSAS

Mr. and Mrs. c. c. Snyder and
family returned to Canon City last
Saturday night from a three weeks
motoring trip thru central and south
ern Kansas. They report the roads
in all portions OF the state as being
in very bad condition at present on
account of the recent heavy rainfall

Snyder says the wheat crop will be
& very light one in Kansas this year,
in many counties almost a total fail

frozen out last winter. The wheat
fields in hundreds Of instances have
been plowed up and planted in corn
and the farmers are expecting to make
mo-e money out OF the substituted
crop than they would have done out
OF wheat. There is a far larger acre
