BIG KANSAS WHEAT YIELDS
Exceptional Crops In Some OF the
Eastern Counties Make New Rec
ords For State.

While Kansas has the smallest
wheat crop the state has grown in
over twenty years, it has the largest
acre yields ever recorded in the state.
These exceptional yields are in the
eastern part of the state, where there
is a comparatively small acreage of
wheat and the big yields generally are
on small fields. The eastern third of
Kansas normally produces less than
one-fourth of the wheat crop of the
state. This year this section will pro-
duce nearly two-thirds of the entire
yield, the western half of the state
containing half of the total wheat
area, having little wheat.
Some of the exceptionally large
yields of wheat in the state this year
are:

SCHOOL BOOKS FOR KANSAS
State Printing Plant Turning Out I'M
mense Numbers of Them-Charge
Only Actual Cost.

Figures on production of school
books at the Kansas state printing
plant for the present year read like
the materialiZaed nightmare of the
boy who dislikes study and hates to
go to school. For the past twelve
months, in addition to turning out an
unprecedented amount of printing for
the seventy odd state departments and
institutions, the plant under the direc-
ton of State Printer w. r. Smith has
produced a supply of textbooks for the
various subjects taught in the public
schools Of Kansas sufficient to meet
the demands for the coming year,
which means that a stream of books
daily running into the thousands has
been leaving the presses continually
during that time.
Estimates made by the state school
book commission have provided for
more than a million and a half books,
a figure for statisticians to conjure'
with. For instance, laid side by side
one deep, these volumes would cover
ten acres or ground; placed end to
end they would extend from Tokepa
beyond Greae Bend, nearly half way
across the state east and west and al
most clear across north and south.
To transport the books at one time
would require good sized freight
train,-one of between forty and fifty
cars. The first edition of advanced
arithmetics will fill five cars or more,
while the speller, one of the smallest
books, has been issued in an edition
large enough to fill nearly five cars.
Nine or more cars could be filled with
readers published in the first edition
Of the new series, while others of the
twenty-six titles will fill spaces rang
ing from a half car to three or four
cars.

The great assault of the entente al

British between that town and Warne-
ton-gained all that the entente plans
had sought
According to reports Of Russian
secret service agents, the present Ger
man offensive in the east was under
taken as the result of detailed teSti-
mony concerning internal conditions
of the Russian army, which had been
placed in the hands of the German
chief of staff.
Notwithstanding the activity of Ger
man spies, who are trying to create
disaffection in the Rumanian army,
the Rumanians and Russians fighting
near the northwestern border of Ru-
mania continue to press forward in
the Casin and Putna valleys, having
captured six additional villages and
added materially to the number of
men made prisoner and guns captured.

Many wheat yields OF thirty to forty
bushels per acre are reported in the
eastern part of the state.
The year 1914 was the biggest wheat
year ever known in the state 1t fol-
lowed summer of exceptional
drought. In 1914 Kansas produced $50
million bushels of wheat.
The conditions for the fall sowing
for the 1918 crop, when the country
needs the biggest wheat crop that can
be produced, are similar to those of
1913-1914. A large part of the big
wheat area is practically faIlow this
summer. Even on fields planted in
corn and the sorghums the ground is
now in the finest sort of shape for
the summer season and for fall SOW
ing of wheat.
