Plenty Food for Americans for
Coming Year.
Yields This Year Unprecedented
in History of Z. s.
FARMERS ONLY COMPL
Very Bounty TO Harvest Has
Ruined Many.
Surplus VIII Be Big Enough to
Supply Europe.

Washington. Nov. 25.-One ton of
grain, vegetables and fruits for each
of the 107,00O.0O0 inhabitants OF the
Unitedo states is the response of
farmers to the popular appeal of the
country for more and cheaper food,
reports to the agriculture department
indicated appropriately today
Thanksgiving day.
Farmers now are harvesting the
last of this bumper yield, almost un-
precedented in the nations history.
Plenty Food I'm United States.
City dwellers. sitting down today 20
their holiday fare, might reflect that
the nations harvest is bountifuf
enough to feed every inhabitant his
own weight once each month during
the coming twelve, if the average
American resident (including children
| and infants) is rated at 100 pounds.
and there still remains enough food to
fatten the starving millions in central
ana southern Europe at the same rate
| for eight more months
Farmers complain that the very
bounty of their harvest has brought
| many of their number to the very
verge of ruin because of reduced
prices. These, they charge, are abb
sorbed by spectators and middlen1en

ers. Farmers have made some gains
tho, in land values, which have
jumped 100 per cent in some localities

states, according to agriculture de-

prof1t OF something more than $1,000

the battle may develop into kicking
duel. In this respect the advantage will
rest with the Aggies because in Hus-
ton they possess the best punter in
Missouri Valley football. He is also
head and shoulders above any of the
other hooters as a drop kicker-his
educated toe has scored many points
in former games for the Manhattan
team. Palmatier of Washburn is also
a dependable drop kicker and can be
counted on from the thirty yard line
for three points whenever his number
is called by Captain Stevens.
Lee Wykoff, Washburn's giant full
back will no doubt be the brunt of the
Washburn attack. This young athlete
has torn the Kansas Conference lines
to shreds in every game played this
season and may go thru the Aggie line
in the same manner At least the
student body at the Ichabod institu-
ton thinks he will be able to make
first and ten whenever necessary.
Ream Predicts Victory.
Coach Ream of Washburn predicted
an Ichabod victory but refused to
name the score saying his boys were
ready for the whistle and confident of
winning. They are going to fight even
better than they did against Kansas
according to Marvin Stevens, captain
of the Ichabods.
Coach Bachman of the Aggies says:
I'VE are not coming to Topeka over
confident because that's what costs
games. My men are in bad shape and
the loss of Cleland is a big one. The
Sooners smashed us up. 1t was an
awfully hard fight, however 1 think
