Paxton Report of 67,562,OOO Blu.
A Per Cent Condition.
This Means SO,6ss,OOO Bushels
Less Than Last Year.
HAY SHOWING BEST SINCE rs
And Alfalfa Will Produce Mil
lion More Tons in '19.
Indications That Winter Wheat
Acreage VIII Be Reduced.

The Kansas corn crop will amount
to 67,562,000 bushels, according to the
September report of Edward c. Pax
ton. of the United States bureau of
crop estimates. This estimate is
s0,ess,O0o bushels below the average
yield of the last five years and is
based on a condition of Al per cent
on September l..
Only the unusual amount of mois-
ture stored in the ground last spring
has made possible this yield. There
was general deterioration in the state
during August, altho rains in some OF
the northeastern counties will improve
the quality. In the northwest, where
the best prospects have been hitherto,
the corn is beginning to suffer Sc
verely.
Good wild Hay Crop.
The wild hay harvest of 1887, 900
tons is almost completed; and is the
best since 1915, when 2,240.000 tons
we're produced. The alfalfa crop will
be about 3,467, 900 tons compared with
2,4S3.000 tons last year. The total hay
production of Kansas will be about g.
$685. 900 tons, as compared with 1884,
900 in 1918.
Grain sorghums look good. Kafir,
milo apd feterita were about 70 per
cent OF normal with prospective
yield of 27,170.000. Poor corn yields
the last few years and fluctuating
hog market have decreased the num-
Der of hogs, on hand for fattening to rs
per cent of last year. Only the urge
for more hogs during the war has kept
the number as high as IL now stands,
1t is believed.
Condition of Pastures.
Pasture condition was rated so per
cent of normal on September 1. In
the central and western districts IT
continues abundant; rain in the east
has stimulated a good blue grass
growth and in the west a good crop
of buffalo and gramma grass is tcured
for winter use. Broom corn is So per
cent OF normal and promises yield
of 5,205 tons.
Except in a few scattered sections
the soil is not fit for winter wheat
seeding and prospects are that the
wheat acreage will be reduced to a
pre-Hvar basis. In the western half
the grasshoppers will delay seeding to
late date and in other parts the
Hessian fly will hold up operations.

ROpe Makes Important An
nOuncement Catholic Policy.
Fall Of Hapsburgs Left Only
Two Avenues Open.
JOIN DEMOCRACY OR QUIT
Vatican Lines Up in Worldwide
Liberal Movement.
VIII Support PrOletariat, but
War on BOlshevism.

Paris, Sept. POLITICALLY, the Vat
lean has Joined hands with democ-
racies and cast its lot with the new
worldwide liberal movement, it was
brought out in a papal letter addressed
to Cardinal Lucon and made public to-
day in connection with participation of
French Catholics in the coming parlia-
mentary elections.
The Vatican will hereafter accept
democracy as the only source of poIitf-
cal power and will work to build up
and permanently establish democratic
government
The Vatican Program.
The Vatican program contains four
definite planks for establishment of
social peace. They comprises:
Cooperation of all classes.
Coalition Of all classes against
Bolshevism.
Acceptance of democracy.
Education of the proletariat.
Immediately preceding the war, de-
cline OF monarchies and growth of
democracies had left the Vatican with
but the Hapsburg and Spanish mon
arches for political allegiance. No
diplomatic relations were maintained
with Europe's democracies.
Left without Support.
ne ldll oI the f1dpSDuTB dynasty
left but one Catholic monarchy and
the pope faced the necessity of recog-
nizing democracies or of practically
disappearing from the diplomatic
world. Pope Benedict has announced
his choice Of the former.
One certain result Of this policy
Will be eventual resumption of politi-
cal and diplomatic relations with
France and Italy, thus gaining sup
port in the two leading Catholic coun-
tries OF Europe, a move which will
make up for the loss Of influence in
Austria Hungary. The movement for
reconciliation with political govern
ments Is already well advanced in
Italy.
Popc's Letter To Cardinal.
In his letter to Cardinal Lucon, the
pope said, in part:
The great outstanding fact in the
world today is the ever strengthening
current everywhere towards democ-
racy. The proletariat classes, as they
are called. having taken the prepon-
derant part I'm the war. desire in ev-

cry country to derive therefrom the
advantage.
Unfortunately, this is often pushed
to excess. They would overturn the
social order. which human nature rem
ders necessary, to the detriment of ev-
erybody.
THE Catholic church has always
loved those who suffer and has always
taught that public powers established
for the common good, must work es-
pecially to improve conditions OF those
who suffer
That is why the Catholic clergy
must not oppose the proletarian revin-
dications but must favor them, pro-
vided they remain within the limits
of honesty and Justice"
