The weekly report on the condition
of crops was issued by the State Board
of Agriculture in cooperation with the
state Farm Bureau and County agents.
The week has been ideal for the
growth of wheat and for the prosecu-
ton of fall farm work. The cold
weather at the tart of the week mod
Grated during the latter part permit
ting the fall blowing to be carried on
extensively as well as aiding in the
husking of corn and the topping of the
grain sorghums. No rain fell and only
a slight furry of snow in some of the
east-centraI counties was reported by
county agents. on Saturday skies in
the southwest were overcast and rain
was predicted.
Wheat in ali sections of the state is
in excellent condition and moisture is
sufficient for its present needs. In
ia ct reports seem to indicate that the
fall wheat is going into winter under
the most favorable circumstances. On
account of the favorable moisture con-
ditions, farmers in the southwest par
ticularly are still sowing, in many cases
in sorghum stubble, and some of the
fields planted prior to the rain are now
being reseeded in that section Wheat
pasture is extra good and promises eX-
cellent grazing for stock.
The week was favorable for husking
corn and in the northeast it is reported
that as much as so per cent of the
crop is husked, and in the central sec
ton, 40 per cent is in the crib. The
price, however, is very discouraging,

Cholera seems to be well under con-

of coarse grain as well as the break
of the past week in the Kansas City

vantage of the situation and bought
stockers for winter feeding. There is
quite little uncertainty felt, how
ever. and in some central Kansas
counties it is reported that even with
the abundance of feed on hand it is
practically impossible for the farmers
to secure money to buy live stock for
feeding. Movement of wheat to mar

very slow on account of depressing

. John T. Glynn, Leavenworth detec-

scoring the traffic violators. He may
urge passage of such a measure by the
Kansas legislature.
Under Glynn's plan every motor car
owner would be given blue card. If
a traffic ordinance is violated, the mo-
torist would lose his blue card and a
card of another color would be sub
stituted. Drivers would be compelled
to carry such cards and to produce
them if arrested. Thus a court judge
would know whether the person had
previously violated the driving laws.

the circulation of most country news
papers is from 500 to $500 copies per

though the item of increased cost OF

sideration it is of minor Importance
as compared to the increased costs OF
labor, machinery, materials, rent, in
surance, and the various other items
of expense which are standard. 1t was
found that a number of publishers
who own their own buildings are not
charging the item of rent in. figuring
what their publications are costing,
nor have any considerable number
been including interest upon the mon
ey invested in their plants as a part
of the production cost bf their news

they might easily earn elsewhere. and

After a thorough study of the pres

After studying the costs of produc-
