FARMERS LOSE ON WHEAT.
Survey of Kansas Farms Shows
Average Loss Of 43 Cents Per Acre.

Survey of Kansas Farms Shows
Average Loss Of 43 Cents Per Acre.
BY Associated Press.
Topeka. April 27-Kansas farmers
raised the record wheat crop of 1919
approximately 10000, 900 eushels.
which was marketed for $3.50, 900, 900
at loss Of 43 cents an acre state
average. This conclusion was reach
ed by Secretary J. C. Mohler, Of the
state board Of agriculture, based on
an exhaustive analysis of the crop,
from questionnaires of 2,O40 wheat
growers in all counties in the state.
On the total acreage 76 per cent
shows loss; "a per cent a gain.
Only in the western third Of the state
was the grain raised at a profit. The
report states that if the return Of
the crop had been equal to the cost
Of production, "as calculated in this
investigation" the average farmer
would have received q moderate rate
Of interest, per cent, for the use Of
capital represented by land, build
ings. and equipment for wheat; the
going wage of farm hand for his
labor, for the greater part Of his time
devoted to wheat, $50 month and
board; a compensation Of $3.50 day
for his services as a manager for
the time devoted to wheat, an
average of ninety-seven days a year;
sufficient allowances to cover neces-
sary repairs and replacements; one
third his house rent; some protection
against crop failures, thru charging
to the acres harvested the cost OF
seed and seeding the acres that are
on the average abandoned annually.
Secretary ssMohler said: "A con-
siderable cash balance in the wheat
growers hands at the end Of the
season does not necessarily mean q
profit. The large gross returns from
the crop and the fact that It left
balances temporarily large in the ac-
counts OF many farmers should not
be allowed to hide the loss sustain-
ed"

Methodists May
Annul Ban Placed
on Amusements

Syracuse, n. Y, April 27.--The
Rev. DR.. Edmund NJ. Mills, acting
secretary for the general conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church,
which opens Saturday at Des Moines,
Iowa. stated tonight that the con-
ference probably would revise the
ban on amusements, changing IT
from mandatory act in the book "f
discipline to a word OF advice.
Memorials submitted from conferen-
ces all over the country show that
third of the preachers want to
eliminate all reference to dancing,
theaters, and card playing.
In view of the fact that the
preachers do not put men and
women on trial for these amuse-
ments, DR.. Mills will move the
elimimlnation of the following words
in that part Of the book Of discipline
dealing with the trial of member
for imprudent conduct:
Dancing, playinng at games OF
chance, attending theatefs. horse
races, ClICuScS, toiShis3 PeAs.>~'
patronizing dancing schools or tax
ing part in such other amusements
as are obviously OF misleading and
questionable moral tendency
For such offense the law calls Tor
first. reproof by pastors; secondly.
reproof by pastor and class leader
or discreet" members of the church,
and for the third offense. the accused
shall be brought to trial.
After striking out the words re-
ferred to, DR.. Mills would have star
placed at this point dealing with
trials. making it compulsory for the
ministers to read the chapter on
"amusements" under the head OF
advice" This paragraph covers the
situation in some detail and says:
1--WE affectionately admonish all our
people to make their amusements the
subject OF careful thought and fire.
quent prayer to study the subject
Of amusements In the light of their
tendencies, and to the scrupulousiy
careful in this matter to set no in
furious example. We advise and be-
seech every member Of the church
absolutely 10 avoid the taking Of such
diversions as cannot be used in the
name of the Lord Jesus"

$4,000, 100000 it already has sd
vanced to European countries.

ers from calling strike. The fol-
lowing week the Industrial court ap-

Washington, April 27.-Telephone,
telegraph and cable communication
methods may be revolutionized as q.
result Of experiments conducted by
the army signal corps and explained
before the national convention Of
scientists by Maj. Gen. George A.
Squier. chief Of the corps.
Explaining how the army had OBJ

der the ground: General s..ie- ere
dicted that the heavily insulated and
expensive land and marine cables
now in use would be replaced by q
single bare wire over which q num-
ber Of messages may be sent at the
same time.
While the, germ of the present idea
was noted by General Squier in 1910,
1t was not until the United States
entered the war that the necessity
for a rapid development came.
Z He told the scientists that the need
for rapid communication arose when
the United States was called to sup
ply the allies as we'll as itself.
