LOWER CALIFORNIA LARGELY OWNED BY
 FOREIGN INTERESTS

MEXICO CITY, Feb, 1S- Two thirds of Lower California, equal in extent to Cuba and Porto Rico com bined, and an area in Chihuahua equal Co England, are held by foreign int 'r- csts. according to Excelsior. The pa per states it secured it's information from the agricultural bureau of the Department of Formcnto, or dcvcloY- mcnt.
 These figures are being studied with interest because of the conStitU- tional provision (thc famous Articla 27) barring foreigners from holding land within 100 kilometers of the Mex ican frontier and 90 kilometers from the coast line. All lower California, except for few points in the interior, is in the prohibited area, while Chi hua hua also is affected throughout. it's long extent of frontier.
 Congress has been asked to grant the President authority to float loans not to exceed 5O,OOO pesos for thv rurpose of indemnifying foreign in terest suffering from the application of the constitutional provision in re. pard to frontier and coast lands. Value of the property involved is Hnor- nous. especially when the rich lands adjacent to California, United States, are considered.

By no means the least of the prob
lens to be presented at the regular
meeting of the Marion County Board
of Trade. Thursday night ut s O'Clock,
is that of taking care of the tourists
who are coming to Florida during the
coming season. The situation is ex-
tremely critical throughout the state
and the tourists have already begun
to arrive even though the warm
weather is not yet over. Determined
efforts are being made to lengthen the
tourist season to cover q period from
November to May and it is believed
that the railroads are going to sell
excursion tickets to cover this period,
and that the hotels will open Off 3
longer period accordingly.
0cala is not going to be able to-
take care of the demand for houses,
apartments and rooms. Furthermore,
the city is now facing a shortage Of

Tampa Tribune J

Tin their effort to create an impress

vocates Of the constitutional bonding
amendment have repeatedly stated
that .sthe little bonding some few of
the counties have done amounts to
nothing" and that the additional
bonds they ask will not be felt. The
Tribune, knowing the contrary to be
true, asked M. me- Smith, chairmall
Of the state road department. to fur
nish this paper with statement
showing the district and county bond
ia indebtedness for roads and the
number of miles Of roads built in each
county. Mr.. Smith readily and cheer
fully set to work collecting this data
from the different counties. and sends
the Tribune the statement asked for,
except as To the miles of road built.
Tn his letter of transmittal he regrets
that he cannot give the mileage built,
because fewer than ten counties re-
sponded. even in part, to that ques-
tion on the blank he mailed out:

one-fourth OF the total debt OF these
seven counties named; and it is fur
ther interesting TO see that four Of
the northern tier Of counties. Escam-
bia, Liberty. Madison and Washing
ton, have no road bond debt, while
Franklin, Gadsden and Wakulla have
each less than $31 900.
Dividing the state along lines OF
strictly peninsula Florida and north
Florida, we find the seventeen penin-
sular counties bonded for more than
s16. 900 900 and the thirty-seven
northern counties bonded for little
less than So, 900 900.
With the state already bonded for
roads 20 the extent Of ST., 600, 900,
and with the automobile license tax
shown TO be sufficient In the next ten
or twelve years to build as many
more miles as we have, does it appear
TO sensible men that this state should
put itself In a position to be bonded
/ 20 double what it now carries for
roads, and saddled with an interest
debt greater than the total the coun-
/ ties have already expended for their
highways
From every angle in which the Tri-
bune has been able To see this bond
amendment proposition it has become
more apparent that it should be de-
feated.

turns of this years wheat harvest.
Illustrating the sudden wealth" gem
eral throughout the western Kansas
counties, where land has been cheap.
and favorable seasons few and far
between, a recent canvass of wheat
yields in the vicinity of Oakley, q
small town so miles east of the oil
orado line, in Logan county, showed
at least so farmers whose wheat
crop sthis year are worth more than
$50 900 each; at least 25 have more
than SIS, 900 of wheat each and every
farmer has good crop. Thirteen
counties, most of them of northwest
Kansas, this year are yielding 48,-
701 ,637 bushels Of wheat. according
to the latest official estimate by the
state board of agriculture.
The one big drawback to the Kan-
sas wheat growers prosperity this
year is the lack of facilities in which
to transport his wheat to the market
centers. ars still are scarce, espec-
tally in the central and western parts
of the state, but the situation is not
as desperate as it was two months
ago, grain dealers report.
avorable summer rains have prac-
tically assured big corn crop IN
Kansas this season. The crop has
been officially estimated at 10000
600 bushels and the official forecast
ers now assert that the continued
favorable weather means the yield
win mount still higher The Kansas
weather bureau here reported that it
is the first year in its SO years exis-
tence that Kansas had bumper
wheat and corn crops the same year.
A banker who has lived in Kansas 50
years. is authority for the statement
that IN that time. such a favorable
crop combination never before occur
red.
Similar conditions prevail with the
oats and barley crops which have
been harvested. The state raised
20 ,000,0 bushels of barley-four
times the average annual yield Of the
last 20 years.
Alfalfa and grain sorghums, to
which millions of acres are devoted
in Kansas, likewise are producing
bountiful crops. Kaw valley potato
growers report one Of the best crops
ever known. AS one editor Of western
Kansas puts it: seThe horn OF plenty
appears to have been dumped right
into the lap of Kansas this year.

VOLUNTEER WHEAT
ENRICHEs FARMERS
Kansas Farmers are Gathering :
Bumper Crop from deserted
Acreages''
6Associated Press1

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 24.-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 1,500,-
900 acres of volunteer wheat in Kan
sas this year, or about sixth of the
total harvested acreage. This wheat
yielded probably 40,000,O 900 bushels
or representing q monetary value of
about S100,000.O00. The total Kan
sas crop of wheat is estimated offic-
tally at 150, ,000, 900 bushels.
The large acreage of volunteer
wheat is due to the fact that 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 11.OOO, 900, by far
the record for any state in the Union.
A wet fall caused the kernels of wheat
which had fallen to the ground dur
ing the harvesting to germinate.
