Record Production of 1871 Million
Barrels Last Year


Kansas -four milling capacity has
increased 40 per cent in the past six
years and the mills made a new high
record output in the year ending June
30, 1920. In that period they pro-
duced 1914 million barrels Of -four
and ground 70 million bushels of
wheat. The largest previous record
was made In the preceding year
when they used SO million bushels of
wheat and produced 13A million bar
rels Of -four. The figures are from
the annual compilation made by r.
r. Sterling, the Kansas representative
Of the Northwestern Miller.
The Kansas -four production now
is larger than that Of any other state,
except Minnesota, and larger than
Minnesota's outside Of Minneapolis,
which is the worlds largest milling
center.
There are 200 active -four mills in
Kansas. Thirty-one with daily ca
pacity of one thousand barrels or
more, produced more than half of
the states total output last year.
The most important milling CEN
tiers in the state with the daily capac-
ity Of each, are here shown: Salina,
Z 900 barrels; Wichita, 6,4OO; Tope-
ka, 5,4OO; Hutchinson. 800; Ark
ansas City, 300: Wellington. 3d.

sas--Ren0 Leads

u One Of Leading Counties In Kan
sas--Reno Leads
Construction Of sil0s, which has
been practically at standstill In
Kansas for the last year and half,
IL expected to take on new impetus
because Of this years gigantic corn
crop, estimated at 15O,O0O.O0 bush.
els, J. c. Mohler. secretary of the
State Board Of Agriculture, reported.
According to figures just compiled
from the assessors returns for March
1, 1920, there are 14.059 silos In the
state, an increase Of less than 5 per
cent in the last year. A year ago
the returns showed 1851 silos in
the state. The extremely small corn
crops Of 191 and 1919 left many
silos empty. Consequently not many
were built during those years.
In the last Ave years the number
Of siIos In the state has increased 45
per cent, from 9,712 In 1915 to A.
O59 in 1920.
Reno county now leads with 457.
Other counties In which there are
300 or more, according to rank, are

His League Position

His League Position
Little doubt remained as to the
feeling Of the people Of Dickinson
county as the audience that filed the
Seelye Saturday afternoon applaud
ed the statement Of Senator Curtis
that he will never vote for League
that allows other nations to tell us
when we must go to war. "Neither
will 1 vote for League that gives
England six votes to our one"
brought more applause. Curtis made
a fine address, going into the waste
fitness Of the Wilson administration
and the efforts of Republican con-
gress to eliminate the unnecessary
expense. He explained fully why we
paid 20 to 30 cents for sugar instead
Of IL cents all last winter and spring
because Of Mr.. Wilson's personal acts
and discussed other campaign issues.
1t was the largest afternoon meeting
ever held here, farmers coming from
all parts Of the county and making
up large part Of the audience. p
