High prices of groceries, dry goods,
meats, flour and feed will cost the
state of Kansas and extra 100000 the
next six months for its state institu-
tions. James A. Kimball, state bust
ness manager, totaled up the contracts
let recently for the state institutions
and reports it as SAC, 1892. Contracts
for practically the same amount of
supplies year ago were let for $751;
900. Only the fact that the state has
on hand a good reserve sugar supply
and the purchase of a quantity of gov
eminent supplies at low prices kept
the total under II million dollars, Kim
ball said.

NO RELIEF FOR GAR SHORTAGE
Kansas Farmers Are Told by Railroad
Men That Situation Seems Hope
less - Have No Reserve.

Kansas farmers will present anoth-
er appeal to the interstate commerce
commission and the railroads to fur
nish cars to handle Kansas wheat.
Meanwhile they will store their wheat.
A committee of representatives of
farm organizations, bankers, mill and
elevator men will be appointed to ap-
pear before the two bodies at an early
date.
The railroad men told the confer
ence called at Topeka by J. C. Moh-
Ter, secretary of agriculture, that they
could not handle the wheat this year.
They advised holding so per cent of
the crop until after September 1.
There are twenty-five million bush
els of 1919 wheat still on the farms
and in Kansas elevators. There is a
no million-bushel crop in prospect, of
which normally one-half would be
marketed between now and Septem-
Der.
The credit of the Kansas banks is
strained almost to the breaking point
now, J. r. Anspaugh of the Kansas
State Bankers Association reported.
He estimated that Kansas banks have
borrowed IS million dollars to finance
; wheat crop of which % million bush
els remain to be moved. Nearly that
much more will have to be obtained
from Kansas City and eastern markets
to care for the wheat harvest.
The conference was attended by
railroad men, bankers, business men,
mill and elevator men and farmers.

An appeal Of several Topeka en-
ployers of machinists who have gone
on a strike to force the signing of 3
closed shop agreement brought out
feature of the Kansas industrial court
law that has not received much at
tention. 1t was pointed out by Fred
J. Hudson, attorney for the court, that
under the law only essential indus
tries specified as invested with a pub
lie Understanding with food, cloth
ing, fuel and transportation-are in
any way under the Jurisdiction of the
industrial court. Neither side in
controversy such as is being waged
between the machinists and their en-
ployees can go to the court for re-
lief. However, there is a section Of
the law by which both parties can go
to the industrial court for arbitration
of disputes. But it requires an agree
ment between the employers and en-
plOyees to submit their grievances,
and after such an agreement is made,
the orders of the court will be as eff
fective and subject to the same right
Of appeal to the supreme court, as if
an essential industry were affected.

With the Kansas wheat crop started,
the need of Kansas for $4,000 harvest
hands was announced by ]. C. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. Transportation of the crop
however, is a more vital problem now
than a harvest-hand shortage. Work.
ers are coming from Oklahoma into
the southern counties, and the imme-
date need is met there. Secretary
Mohler said. Men will be needed next
week when the harvest in the coun-
ties further north commences.

RETURN TO FARMS.

And after all. the back to the
farm" slogan is being put into
practice.
Many young men. who have
been spending their time in the
cities during the era OF high
wages and plenty OF jobs, are now
seeking hog and hominy" iob
back close TO mother earth. They
are returning 60 the farm from
choice.
There are scores OF reasons
why large numbers OF these will
"stay put" One OF them is that
they have learned the hollowncss
of life in the city. the gilded. gay
seasons during which he manages
to dispose OF his high salaries in
less time than it takes to turn
around.
With a certainty OF a house
over his head and three meals a
day, the young man who sticks 10
the farm and seeks a scientific
knowledge OF the growing OF al
farm crops is going to find that
such wages as he does draw can
be placed in the bank until such
time as he is able TO make wise
investments.
The man who remains in the
city seeking odd jobs and in III,
hope OF high wages, is going to
learn that even il he gets the job
and the wage, at the end OF the
year he is not likely to be much
better off than at the beginning.
Let us hope that the young men
who are now returning to the ru-
raj districts. from which they
were lured during the war. viii
not again be mislead, but will en-
ter the ranks OF the producers %
the worlds food and clothing and
stay with it"
