NEWS ITEMS FROM
ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
SEED WHEAT FUND is SHORT
Contributors Who Supplied Money to
Western Kansas Growers to Re-
ce;ye Back Small Percentage.

The announcement by the seed
wheat committee that funds on hand
from the money lent last year in the
interest of the seed wheat campaign
would allow for a payment OF only
1743 cents on the dollar has raised
some question among investors. An
attempt to get an appropriation by the
legislature last winter to make up the
deficiency in the fund met with defeat
on the grounds that the state was not
responsible for what was in reality
purely a speculative proposition. A
strong fight was made against the
state reimbursement of the loans by
Representative Gibbons of Meade, who
offered the argument that if Kansas
had had an enormous wheat crop the
investors would not have considered
for a moment the idea of dividing with
the state
The loan was purely crop share
plan and if the yield had been good
the investors would have reaped a rich
harvest, he said, or if they had lent
the money at certain rate of interest
members of the legislature who OPP
posed their REIMBURSEMENT declared
they would have recommended the
state appropriation.
Many complaints are coming in to
state departments now from persons
who invested in prospective wheat last
year. In some instances there was IN
doubted hardship worked on those
who could not afford to risk a loss.
The money was lent to the committee
with the understanding that the in
vestors should get fifth Of the crop.
