GOOD RAINS OVER STATE
Fine Weather During Past Week
for Growing wheat-cribbing
of Corn Delayed by Wet Fields.
BY 5. d! Flora. Nfeteoroioeist.

Rains were general over Kansas this
week and fine for the wheat crop, ac-
cording to the reports of 100 corre-
spondents of the weather bureau that
cover conditions in almost every
county. The amounts received were
mostly less than half an inch but as
they fell on ground already moist,
they were ample for all needs. After
noon temperatures were high enough
half OF the week. but the nights were
quite cold the latter half, with temper
atures from 20 degrees to so degrees
and killing frosts that extended to all
except possibly some of the extreme
southeastern counties. No particular
damage resulted as the average date
of the first killing frost had passed
and most crops were matured.
Wheat is making a very satisfactory
growth and stands are reported as
good to excellent, except in a few of
the extreme western counties, where
the dry weather was persistent during
all of October, until the closing day.
In most parts of the state the early
sown is up enough to cover the ground
as seen from the roadside and in the
western half a great deal is being pas
tured.
Cribbing corn was delayed by fields
being wet from rains of the previous
week and the fail of more moisture
this week and is not much more than
started in most sections, tho there are
few south central counties that re-
port from to Is per cent completed.
Heading grain sorghunls is mostly
finished, but threshing them has be-
gun in only few counties. Apple
picking is practically done.

A Slacincss in Buying Reported by
Railroad Official

hint at business depression is being
noted in the railroad freight business,
according to E. F. Strain, divisional
freight agent for the Rock Island
The most notable effect of short and
cautious buying, is to make the bulk
of freight shipments less than car
lots. Freight shipped in less than car
lots is more expensive to handle than
car lots, and causes more trouble on
the road, Strain pointed out
When business generally Stacks up,
consequently the railroads suffer in
their operating returns Strain be-
heves, however, that conditions will
readjust themselves rapidly and come
back to normal soon.

COMMENTING upon the rise in the
price of gasoline, a man who is un-
familiar with petroleum production writes:
''The Lord, who put the oil in the
earth, charges no more for it than he
ever did. 1t comes for nothing out
of the ground when you dig hole"
This is true, if it comes out of the ground
without help. The greatly increased cost
lies in digging the hole, casing it, caring for
the Oil when 1t comes out, and transporting
and handling it on its way to the refinery.
Petroleum Age in its September issue says:
s'The cost of drilling and equipping well
at the present scale of prices for material
and labor runs from Five Thousand Dol
lars for shallow sand pumper to Seventy
five thousand Dollars for the deep wells.
A general average covering the entire
sand Dollars per well"
One item which is often overlooked is the
cost of drilling wells which fail to produce
oil. 1t is estimated that from 20 to 80 per-
cent OF all wells put down are dry holes.
Yet, in spite of all discouragements, which
included shortage of casing, difficulties of
transportation, and the increasing expense
of labor, on July 31st, 1920, there were
eleven CnOuSanQ wells QT1lllng or underway
east of the Rocky Mountains, with com
pletions averaging about three thousand
wells month. Probably thirty-six thou
sand wells will be completed during 1920
The total expense, including investment in
drilling tools, lease equipment and labor,
is roughly estimated at one billion dollars.
Deducting two hundred fifty million dol
lars Us percenD for salvage on equipment
susceptible of further use, the net invest
ment in new production for the year will
be seven hundred fifty million dollars.
It is apparent that oil does not come for
nothing out of the ground
Oil is usually discovered in spots remote
from rail centers The cost of pumping and
transporting it to the refinery is heavy
charge. At the refinery charges begin to
pile, up, for refining oil is true manu-
featuring process involving application of
chemistry, the use of specialized machin-
cry, and human labor.
All of these factors add to the cost of a
product which Nature has given u.s.

been steadfastly applying the trained power
OF its organization to increasing the yield
of gasoline from crude, and in achieving
economies by large scale operations in re-
inning and distributing its products.

GERMANY is FACING CHAOS
Scandinavian Writer Says Economic
Day Of Reckoning Approaches.


Stockholm, Sweden.-Professor Gus
tav Cassel, the world-renowned eco.
nomist, declares in Il recent interview,
that there is no longer any chance Of
Germany's stopping by her own efforts
her downward course to financial
chaos, nor can the other European na-
lions hope to better their financial
condition until Germany's political and
financial stability Is re-established.
Professor Cassel sees only one rem
edy, and that is to form an interna-
tional syndicate, the personnel Of
which, largely American and backed
heavily by American capital, should
take over the railway systems in
Middle Europe, rehabilitate them,
force the whole mess of small states
to abandon any idea of a separate ex-
istence, inaugurate Europe-wide free
trade and allow financial system
gradually to be built up with the same
currency rs Is now used.
Petty schemes for temporarily boil
STEERING up this or that country,s credit
is merely a waste Of time, according
to Professor Cassel. =,
'Europe's day Of reckoning in this
bad business Of forcing Germany to
print more and more paper money
with which, to pay her debts is about

will be deferred several months, but
the great mass Of paper money car
be used only as long as the German
peasants are willing to accept it IN
payment Of their crops. When they
refuse. the collapse is near at hand.
