MAY LOSE BALLOT
Ohio Appeal Case in Supreme
Court Decides Suffrage.
To Decide if Legislature Quail
fled to Ratify.

Washington. April 22.-whether the
suffrage amendment will be declared
ratified in time to give all women citi-
zens full voting rights in the election
on action of the United States supreme
court in a case to be argued late today
or tomorrow.
Final action of the court is expected
before adjournment early in June.
Suffrage leaders estimate that II the
courts action is what they. consider
fayorab Bile, twenty million women will
be eligible to vote in the next election,
but of this number, seven million have
full suffrage rights under state stat
utes, while six million have limited
voting privileges.
Appeal Case from Ohio.
The case is an appeal from the Ohio
supreme court to determine whether
the legislature of that state can ratify
an amendment to the federal constitu-
ton without submitting it to a refer
endum. The Ohio supreme court held
that the ratification was not complete
until the people passed on it.
The suffragists now have thirty-five
notifications to the suffrage amend
ment, not including that by the Ohio
legislature. They feel optimistic about
ton in one or more state legislatures.
but admit that it Is doubtful if there
will be two more notifications during
the next few months.
Would Lack One State.
The suffragists would have only
thirty-six notifications with Ohio, or
exactly the necessary three-fourths.
Thus if the supreme court should de-
clare that Ohio's ratification cannot
be considered complete until after a
referendum, the suffragists would lack
one ratification as the Ohio laws do
not allow the referendum until the
general election.
Should the supreme court thus hold.
it would be because of the wording of
the referendum provision in the Ohio
constitution. Its decision might not
affect other referendum states

OFFER DANDELION PRIZE
Salina Discovers Means of Kidding
Court House Lawn of Weeds
Statistician Is Pessimistic.

SaIina. Kan, April 22.-Sugges-
lions that the county commissioners
offer a reward for the person who
digs the most dandelions out of the
court house lawn has prompted a
court house statistician to figure out
that there are $4,000 dandelions on
the 10000 square feet of lawn, al
lowance being made for space occu-
pied by the building and sidewalks.
In numbers, he explained, they range
from bare spots up to thirty to the
square foot.
At the rate of one plant every 10
seconds, he continues, it would take
ass hours, or SO eight hour days, to
accomplish the job. Then, further:
IF it takes 200 dandelion plants
to make a quart of wine. the entire
court house lawn crop would make
s55 quarts. or 214 gallons"

WHEAT CROP CUT IN HALF
Federal Department of Agriculture
Urges Farmers to Revise Schedules.

Washington, April 22.-Reports
from the spring wheat regions of a
plan for reduced acreage this year
caused the department of agriculture
to issue statement today urging the
farmers to revise their planting plans.
Weather conditions and a shortage of
farm labor have affected the planting,
but statistics presented by the depart
ment advised increased production be-
cause of the poor condition Of the win
ter crop and the continued world de-
mand for wheat.
The normal requirements for con-
sumption and export are about $780,
900, 900 bushels. OF this amount only
4S3,617,000 bushels is indicated from
the winter wheat this year. The world
demands it was pointed out, will be
as great as usual and none can be eX-
pected from Australia because of a
poor wheat year and the disorganized
transportation conditions make i'm
probable the movement of the $4,000
600 bushels Russia has announced she
will have ready for export.

MILK TO THE THIRSTY


The cost Of production" exhibit

ing more attention than any other
feature Of the white drink of health"
campaign in Topeka this week.
An attraction at the exhibit at 5
o'clock this afternoon was to be the
giving away of milk free to passers-
by. The milk was to be served by
Miss Ruth Wood and Miss Edith Con-
NELL workers in the campaifn.
A registered Holstein COW belonging
to Ira Romig a farmer living south
west of Topeka, occupies a modern
stall. In an adjoining stall is a Hol-
stein calf. Feed and bedding required
for the COW in one month is on dis
play, together with placards showing
the cost of each article. The cost of
production is figured down to the
quart.
The feed, consisting of four bales of
alfalfa, 500 pounds of silage and sacks
OF bran. corn chop ana oil meal and
three bales of straw for bedding. rep
resents the amount of feed and ma
terial required to produce 252 quarts
of milk, which is one months produc-
ton. The cost of producing a quart
of milk, including labor at thirty cents
an hour, is ten cents.
These figures furnish evidence that
