FEAR FEED SHORTAGE
Millers, Stockmen and Feeders
Alarmed Over Situation.
Sixty Per Cent of Kansas Wheat
Already Marketed.

Warming of an impending feed
shortage in Kansas was sounded today
in a letter which ]. c. Mohler, secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture,
received from C. w. Topping of Wich-
tia, secretary-traffic manager of the
Southwestern Millers' league. Top
ping declares that in as many days the
farmers of the state have sold and
moved fully 60 per cent of the entire
wheat crop.
Serious conditions confront millers
and elevator men as well as stockmen
and feeders, Topping declares. He
says the situation threatens shortage
of feed and a danger that stockmen
will be unable properly to care for
their stock. Millers and elevator men
by the end of the year every mill in
the state will be unable to obtain grain
and that the entire crop of nearly 100
million bushels of wheat will either be
ground or moved from the state.
Special efforts will be made at once
to gather figures concerning the sup
ply of wheat in hands of the farmers
of Kansas. 1t is probable that Secre-
tary Mohler will ask his correspond
ents to report as to the amount of
wheat now in possession of the crop
growers and if the Topping figures are
sustained by official returns efforts
Will be made to protect against deple-
ton of the crop.
According to Topping's letter, mill
ers and elevator men are not storing
grain or flour. They are compelled to
use valuable space and pay insurance
on an output that cannot increase in
value under the government price reg

TO MARK MIDLAND TRAIL
C. of c. Gives 800 for Blazing Trans

One hundred dollars was appropri-

directors of the Topeka Chamber of
Comm cree this noon for the purpose
OF marking the Midland trail thru
Shawnee county. The money was ap-
propriated on request of President
Leroy Powell of the Topeka Auto
mobile association.
President Powell asked for SIS, but
the board of directors looked the
proposition over and thought that the
marking of the road was worth more
than that to the Chamber, so the mo-
ton for the 500 was put and carried.
The Midland trail is to be marked
in black and orange thruout its trans
continental length, according to the
plans announced at the chamber this
noon by Powell. Shawnee county's
snare of the total marking fund was
about $3.50. and Topeka gave more
