HUM DRAWS NEAR
Wheat Harvest Is Now Moving
North in Kansas. -
Thirty Bushels to Acre Average
Southern Counties Yield.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 23.-Despite
local rains which have rendered the
harvest situation rather uncertain in
Kansas the dronfng onrush of a herd
of reapers is being heard in the south
ern counties of the state. The work of
turning eleven million Kansas acres
of wheat into 10000 600 dollars has
passed from the first tier of south
ern counties into the second tier.
Local showers have delayed cutting
in some southern counties but no other
damage to the gigantic wheat crop is
apparent. On the entire eleven mil
lion acres, no waste has yet been re-
ported according to the state agricul-
tural department.
The yield per acre will be good.
though not excessive. Thirty bushel
wheat will be a common threshing
record in all southern counties of the
state Threshing conservation methods.
II applied consciously, are expected
to make the yield per acre somewhat
of a surprise over that realized in
former years.
Truly. tits a great year for Kansas.

CUT WORMS HELP
They Hold Back Alfalfa Until
Wheat Is Cut.
Mohler Says Few Crops Are
Being Killed.

Cut worms and army worms which
usually bring nightmare to Kansas
farmers, are this year delaying the
second cutting of alfalfa until the
wheat is harvested. That was the as
sertfon today of j. c. Mohler, secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture
who stated that the only apparent
damage from worms this year was to
reduce and delay the second cutting
or the alfalfa crop.
While we have had a number of
reports of worms injuring the alfalfa
crop, there has been no intimation
that the alfalfa is killed" said Mohler.
The worms will probably delay the
second cutting and will cut down the
crop somewhat. But this hot weather
is killer for the worms and l really
don't anticipate serious damage or
loss"
Merely Delay Cutting.
E. E. Frizell of Pawnee county re-
Gently wrote to Mohler about the
worms He said their work would
merely delay the second cutting until
the wheat was cut of the way and
would save the farmers from much
worry.
The extent of damage to alfalfa in
Kansas will probably be indicated by
returns from crop correspondents this
week. Secretary Mohler is now re-
ceiving reports of crop conditions in
Kansas preparatory to the issuance at
an early date of his July crop report.

(The only Russian warship bearing the
name of Slava to be found in available lists
was sunk by the German squadron on Oc-
tober II, 1917. in the Gulf of Riga. 1t
seems probable. however, that some other
craft was given the name of the Slava which
was entered in the Russian admiralty re-
ports as a battleship.

BUY 20 ENGINES
Santa Fe VIII Put Them on
Thru Passenger Trains.
Four Have Arrived and VIII
Go Out July 1.

F. c. Fox, general manager of the
Santa Fe railway today announced
the purchase of twenty new Pacific
type locomotives by the system.
These gigantic engines will be used
on thru passenger trains in Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas. Four of them
have already arrived and will be
placed in operation about July 1.
The Pacific-type locomotives are
among the most powerful built in this
country They cost approximately
$4,000 apiece. Three years ago, the
same locomotive could be purchased
for $4,000. Increased cost of raw
material. and high wages for labor,
caused this hike in the cost of the
engine.

were filled and other countries aided
in restoring the market to a normal
condition.
Apparently every bit of food stuff
that can be bought in this country is
contracted for and the bulk of these
contracts held by foreign countries
which overbid American buyers" said
Stubbs. Coffee, which stayed normal
