Attention is called by J. c. Mohler,
secretary of the board, to the signifi-
canoe given the figures by the preem-
fnence Of Kansas in wheat production,
having raised Is per cent of the ma
tons crop last year, and by the fact
that they are the result Of the first
voluntary effort Of any large class Of
producers, manufacturers, or distribu-
tors to show the exact cost of services
rendered.
For the state as a whole the loss
shown on the face of the returns is 43c
per acre. but in the main wheat belt
Central Kansasl the loss reaches
1852 an acre. OF the total acreage of
the state rs per cent shows a loss and
"A per cent a gain. But as Mohler
points out, these figures do not show
the full extent of the loss because in
calculating costs nothing has been
charged for the depletion Of the soil,
nothing has been allowed the farmer
in the nature of Overtime" pay for
long working days. and no account has
been taken of time lost through the
seasonal character Of his vocation. AS
wheat growing is carried on in Kan
sas. these three factors add materially
to the cost Of production, but with the
data available it is impracticable to ex-
press their effect in exact figures.
