A BIG WHEAT GRO?

Prediction Of the Department of Ag-
riculture for a wheat crop this year
even larger than the record breaking
crop Of 1914 was repeate this week by
the United States Chamber of Com
merce in a report based on statistics
obtained from all sections Of the coun-
try. The report stated that an average
never before equalled had been pl: nted
and !, ield Of 900, 900, 900 bushes was
forecasted.
THE CONDITION Of the winter wheat
is 80 high as to be without precedent or
parallel" the report said. 1T is in
fact monotone of perfection. The
plant came through the winter aid the
trying month of March unscathed and
unhurt. In many sections of the west
and southwest it was necessary to pas
ture it to live stock to down its rank
growth.
Reports of damage are mostly re-
markable by their entire absence, mere
rumors of Hessian fly and some stray
predatory insects. but that is ali. I'm
less some climatic catastrophe or some
Egyptian-like and unexpected plague or
insects intervene, the yield will proba-
bly, be 900, 0OO,O 900 bushels, or about 80
per cent. more than the great harvest
of 1914"
The report stated that one interesting
sidelight of the situation was that
about rs per cent. of the yield would be
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Southern States which never before
grew winter wheat this year have large
acreages planted, it was said Reports
showed that the seeding OF spring
wheat had been delayed from ten days
to two weeks by excessive rains, and
decrease of acreage compared VITA last
year was expected.

RABBIT SLAUGHTER

Fully 200,OOO,OOO wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year,
according to estimates made by the bio.
logica! survey Of the United States De-
nartment Of Agriculture.
MANY of then. are jackrabbii~, the
majority of which have not beer. util.
lied in the past. If all the rabbits kill
ed were consumed they would furnish
between 100000 and 100000 tons Of
valuable food. and if proper measures
were taken to insure the collection of
skins, these alone would have q value
of $4,000, 900.
The biological survey has frequently
been called upon to help western farm
ers in coping with the rabbit pest. In
view of the probable economic value of
rabbit meat and fur in the coming few
years, the energies Of the farmers and
ranchmen will be directed to the con-
servation of this important resource.
Already number Of establishments
for collecting. dressing, canning and
shipping rabbit meat are in operation in
western centers. AS in Aust, ALA the
transition of the wild rabbit in this
country from it's status as pest to
source of profit is assured.

II you want to make a success of
a big public enterprise get an under
taker and a publicity genius. You
may think this a queer combination,
but it certainly has been a wonderful
one for fair lovers Of Kansas. OF
course. undertakers like L. NJ. Pen
well and publicity geniuses like Phil
Eastman are not to be found at every
Irish wake or ad mems convention,
but If you can get pretty good imita-
tions of them you will be pretty GER
tain of success.
Topeka probably never has had
any two men who have done more
thru one enterprise to put the city on
the map than Penwell and Eastman
have done thru their management of
the Kansas Free Fair. Taking the
direct management Of the fair asso-
citation when the free gate" idea was
a new experience and when the an
nual fair here was merely a local af
fair. they have given this city the
greatest free fair in the world and
they have made the annual September
outdoor exposition a statewide insti-
tuition that draws thousands to this
city from every section of Kansas and
even from other states.
With Penwell as president and East
man as secretary the Kansas Free Fair
has been a success from the start and
1t has grown larger from year to year
until this year it broke all records and
drew more visitors to Topeka than
were ever here in one single week be-
fore.
And their success has been due sole
ly to their ability and to the ability of
the men they have associated with
them. They have had the sagacity to
see what the people wanted in the
way of a fair; they have had the abil--
ity to get what they went after and
they have had the executive ability
| to stage and run their great show in
an efficient and businesslike way.
With these qualifications and with
Phil Eastman's capa city for great
amount of work and great care for de-
tail nothing but cyclones and billiards
and floods could have kept them from
| succeeding as they have.
There is never a time during the
year when Eastman does not have his
| eye peeled" for something for the
| fair. Attractions. shows. concessions,
/ new exhibits. new features of all kinds
| Improvements at the grounds. new
| advertising stunts-watching leaks in
the roofs OF the buildinEs-and max
ing friends for the fair. These are his
! duties the year around. But they
are incidental duties sandwiched in
| between his other regular business.
1t is only a few weeks before the
fair that he lays aside the bulk of his
other business and begins to pray for
good weather and plan for the grand
| opening. Then he is busy from morn
/ ing until night and there is never a
detail, no matter how trivial that he
does not have his finger on few
| days before the opening he moves out
! to the grounds and there he lives un-
| flee in the main office building he can
be found in from of the specially made

D'ANNUNZIO IN FIUME
Italian Aviator Arrives There With
Troops-Probe Recent Riots.

Rome. Sept. 12.-Gabrie1 D'Annun-
zio, the italian aviator, arrived in FL
ume from Ronchi this afternoon with
detachments of Grenadiers and Arditti
provided with machine guns and ar
mored autom obiles. according to re-
ports reaching this city tonight. No
disorders were reported up till late to-
night. Government officials have been
instructed to investigate recent dem
onstrations AZ Fiume and determine
who was responsible for them.
Capt. Gabriel D'Annunzio. who dis
tinguished himself as an Italian avia-
tor during the war. has been one of
the most ardent advocates of Italian
claims to territory on the eastern
shore Of the Adriatic. During the
controversy over the disposition OF
Fiume at the peace conference in May
and later following the resignation Of
Premier Orlando appeals were made
70 the italian people by the captain
who urged that Italy fight for her
Just claims" Reports reaching
London on Thursday stated that seri-
Gus rioting between Italian and Jugo-
Slav soldiers had taken place at Fiume
and that allied units had been COM
PEELED to intervene.
