WATER CARRIED AWAY ENGINE
Goose Creek Flood Did Considerable
Damage

The Ziegler & Dalton Construction
Company will be a heavy loser as a
result Of the big rain Friday morn
ing near Junction City. Consider
able damage was done to paving ma
terial on the Golden Belt. An en-
CINE standing near Goose Greek was
caught in the floor water when the
creek went up and was carried a
long distance downstream. The en-
CINE, 16-horsepower affair, and very
heavy, was located yesterday, buried
In the sand. The pump attached to
It, and the truck on which It was
standing, have not been located as
yet. and 1t is possible that they were
carried into the river.
The Ziegler & Dalton construction
company is doing the Golden Belt
hard surfacing here too.
The high water did. considerable
damage to the new culvert near
the Jennings place, washing away
one retaining wall and also washing
the dirt from around the paving at
that point.

NO BETTER FOR BAKING
Advantage of New Wheat Rests In
Its Yield and Hardness

Milling and baking tests conduct
ed at the Kansas State Agricultural
college annually since 1912 show no
important differences in the quality
Of Kanred wheat and Turkey and
Kharkof wheats, the wheats hereto
fore commonly grown in the state.
The tests. which were made on
wheats grown under identical c0ndi-
tons, show slight advantage In
color score for Kharkof and a slight
advantage in protein and gluten con-
tent for Kanred. The greatly in
creased acre yields secured by grow
ing Kanred, together with its great
er resistance to rust, constitutes its
chief advantage over other Kansas
wheats.

voLUNrEER YIELD VALUABLE


In Kansas Now
i Stories Of sudden wealth In the
Kansas wheat belt are numerous this
year, due to the unusual acreage of
volunteer wheat" crop grown
from seeds which fall in the previous
harvesting. Officially estimated there
was 100000 acres Of volunteer
wheat in Kansas this year, or about
sixth Of the total harvest acreage.
This wheat yielded probably 100000
900 bushels or representing a none
tary value Of about $100.0O0.00O.
The total Kansas crop Of wheat Is es-
timated officially at 10000, 900
bushels.
The large acreage Of volunteer
wheat Is due to the fact that a great
deal Of this acreage was deserted as
wheat land by the owners, after last
years none too bOuntiful crop had
been harvested. The 1919 acreage
was In excess Of 100000 by far
the record for any state in the union.
A wet fall caused the kernels of
wheat which had fallen to the
ground during the harvesting, to ger
inmate.
Finding the volunteer" crop max
ing a stand, farmers did not disturb |
the growth and, with ideal wheat
growing weather this spring, the vol
unteer wheat made yields fully as
bountiful as the rest Of the crop.
Innumerable stories of deserted
acreages," producing $4,000 to $780,
900 worth Of wheat come from west
ern Kansas where the bulk Of the vol
unteer wheat was grown. Others tell
Of farmers who purchased farms this
year and paid for them with the re-
turns Of this years wheat harvest.

CHICKENS START TO LIGHT
Price Drops From 40 to 70 Cents
For Spring Frys

The heavy sale Of spring chickens
has resulted in sharp drop on the
local market this week, according to
a local poultry dealer. As the re-
suit Of the drop, poultry dealers who
were paying 40 cents pound for
springs last week now are paying %
cents and selling for 30 cents.
The drop is said to be the result Of
the farmers disposing Of their poul-
try after the harvest. As the result,
the market is flooded and the supply
is greater than the demand,
The local egg market took a slight
hike yesterday as the result Of rains
preventing the farmers from coming
to town.
