There is every indication that Kan
sas will soon break some of her own
records in crop production and stock
raising. In few weeks J. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
Z culture, will issue his annual state
ment showing quantity production and

: with state conditions. forecast a re-
port showing farm production valua-
tion figures in excess of the high mark
of 1918.
: For the second time in the history
: of the state farm product values last
ayear went above the half billion dollar
+ mark. They reached the high total
of $592, 7,250. The previous record
: for the S tate was attained in 1917,
when Secretary Mohler showed valua-
tion of $57,4S3,7S7. Not only were
fthe seasons of 1917-1S the first to pass
Z the half billion mark. but they went
beyond the $500, 100000 mark for the
. first time.
stock Market SIumped.
: Now there is a prospect that the
1919 total may reach three-quarters
: of a billion dollars. Only a slump in
sthe livestock markets and failure of
the wheat crop to thresh out accord
ting to advance estimates held the state
below a billion dollar farm year. ac-
.cording to several Kansas authorities
fThe wheat crop for the year just end
ling was far in advance of the produc-
ttion of % million bushels last year.
And the 1918 crop was valued at
.t$1S5,976, ,945.
Grain supplies in the hands of the
producers is greater than at any time
.in many years. A car shortage has
sheld up the movement of wheat in
sthe hands of farmers and has slowed
tdown the operations of Kansas mills
with a daily capacity of 10000 barrels.
The 1919 wheat crop was second
only to the production of $50. 1881
yhushe1s in 1914. In 1914, tho, the
tcrop valuations We're below those in
existence at this time. The bumper
s1914 crop was valued at s151, ,375 ,042.
.The 1919 wheat crop will probably
tbring tho farmers return of $780,
1000, 900 to s30O.O00,000.

my midnight visitor, who was once

THE NENANA VOTE.

Politicians are puzzled and the
Democrats worried over the vote
cast al Nenana in the June cleo
ton, says the Juneau Dispatch, a
Wickersham newspaper. During the
campaign the Democratic press of
the territory declared Wickershanl
had attacked Secretary Lane and
then refused to go before the peo-
pie for an endorsement of this at
tack, and that Mr.. Grigsby was the
staunch friend and CHAMPION of the
Lane railroad policy in Alaska, as
well as, vote for Grigsby was an
endorsement of the Alaska railroad
commission and its work.
But those who so loudly proclaim
ed Alaska was for the Lane ad-
ministration received shock, con-
tinues the Juneau paper, when the
railway commission employees vote
at Nenana was counted. With no
one making his campaign, Mr.. Jones
ran Grigsby a neck and neck race
in the railroad camps. In fact, The
Nenana Daily News says:
"Eleventh-hour campaigning on
the part of local supporters of the
Democratic candidate saved the day
for Grigsby in Nenana. The two
candidates ran very close throughout
the day, and the Jones votes arriv-
ing at the polls late in the day un-
doubtedly would have given Jones a
lead but for the hasty rounding up
of needed Democratic support.
THE showing made by Jones is
considered remarkable, in view of
the fact that he is unknown to =
great majority of the voters Of
Alaska, and to the further fact that
there was little time for campaign
ing in his behalf"
If this is true, then there must
be deep-seated dissatisfaction among
the people living and working at
Nenana. who are most familiar with
railroad construction. If they re-
fused TO support Lanes administra-
ton after being intimately acquaint-
ed with the facts regarding gross
Acknowledgement, then little can be
expected OF the other Alaska voters
if the issue had been placed square
ly before them.
Taken as a whole, the Democratic
machine of this territory was fortu-
nate that Mr.. Wickersham did not
run in the special election. Had
Mr.. Wickersham or any other pro-
gressive citizen of this territory OPP
posed Mr.. Grigsby, the Democratic
candidate would have received a
terrible drubbing. There can be no
other result from a careful study
of the special election returns.
