RECORD WHEAT
CROP EXPECTED
Kansas Farmers Claim Yield
Will Reach $4,000, 900
Bushels.

Kansas City, Aug. This years
wheat harvest in Kansas will reach
$4,000, 900 bushels and has an ex-
Cellent chance of smashing the rec
ord crop of the States history
1914, when the farmers registered
1S0. 900, 900 bushels.
This is the statement of d. T.
Piazzek, second vice president of
the United States Grain Corpora
tion. He is just closing the corpora
tion's Kansas City office, which.
during government control OF
wheat, had supervision over five
wheat States.
The farmer is getting from $3.50
to $3.50 a bushel for his wheat.
All the farmers win make money
on wheat this year. Their net profit
will be about four times that of
1914. when they cleared about so
cent a bushel.
Today. at $3.50 bushel, the
farmer deducts the following: Ten
cents for freight and, say, 20 cents
for harvesting. Contrast s2.20, or
even 50 net profit with his 1914
profit!
One billion dollars is the estimate
of the wealth that will pour-slow-
ly, to be sure-into the pocketbook S
of Kansas farmers.
