SUDDEN WEALTH IN THE
 KANSAS WHEAT BELT

Topeka, Kans, Aug. 27--Stories of sud- den wealth in the kasas wheat belt are numerous this year, due to the unusual acreage of volunteer wheat" a crop grown from seeds which fall in the pre- vious harvesting. Officially estimated there was 1,50O,0o0 acres of volunteer whea in Kansas this year, or about sixth of the total harvested acreage. This wheat yielded probably 10000, ,009 bushels or representing monetary value of about $100,00o,0oo. The total Kansas crop of wheat is estimated officially at 150,000,000 bushels
 The large acreage of volunteer wheat is due to the fact that great deal of this acreage was deserted as wheat land by the owners, after last years none to bountiful crop had been harvested.
 The 1919 acreage was in excess of H.
 100000, by far the record for any state
 in the union. A wet fall caused Ne
 gernels of wheat which had fallen to the
 ground during the harvesting to germin-
 ate. :"
 Finding the volunteer" crop making
 a stand farmers did not disturb the
 growth and, with ideal wheat growing weather this spring, the volunteer wheat
 made yields fully as bountiful as the rest of the crop.
 Innumerable stories of deserted acre ages" producing s5,ooo to $25,000 worth of wheat come from western Kansas
 where the bulk of the volunteer wheat was grown. Others tell of farmers who | purchased farms this year and paid for them with the returns of this years

Illustrating the sud den wealth. general throughout the wes- tern Kansas counties, where land has | been cheap and favorable seasons few and far between, a recent canvass of wheat yields in the vicinity of Oakley, small town 50 miles east of the Colo rado line, in Logan county, showed at least 50 farmers whose wheat crops this year are worth more than 50,000
 each; at least 25 have more than $75,- 900 of wheat each and every farmer has | a good crop. Thirteen counties. most of them of northwest Kansas, this year are yielding 43,701.637 bushels of wheat, l according to the latest official estimate | by the state board of agriculture The one big drawback to the kensas wheat growers prosperity this year is Isthe lack of facilities in which to trans l port his wheat to the market centers | Cars still are scarce, especially in the
