Report From Bureau Rates
Crop at 81 Per Cent.
Damage From High Winds and
Easter Freeze, Report Says.
DAMAGE NOW FROM RED RUST
Damage Expected Unless the
Weather Is Favorable.
Production for This Year Es-
tabIished at 3s,659,O0O Bus.

High winds, late seeding last fall to
avoid fly infestatien and the Easter
freeze which killed the foliage, will
result in the abandonment of eight per
cent of the Kansas wheat crop at har-
vest time, according to estimates by
Edward c. Paxton, Kansas statistician
for the United States bureau of crop
estimates. The crop on May 1 this
year was rated at "a per cent Of nor
NAL as compared with so per cent last
year.
The greatest loss lies in the counties
west ana southwest of Salina, in the
heart of the wheat belt. Losses rang
ing from eleven to fifty-five per cent
are recorded in these counties. The
plant lacks in strength and vigor thru
out the north and north central coun-
ties and the stand is badly thinned due
TO the continuous spring freezes. This
indicates increasing weakness and
difficulties in harvesting.
Danger from Red Rust.
Red rust now threatens greater
danger than the green bug or Hessian
fly. If weather conditions are adverse,
it may prove serious as harvest ad-
Vanees. In the southeastern part of
the state. the wheat is suffering from
too much moisture.
The condition May l indicated a
possible production of 1859, 900

ton CT 136,S44,0e0 bushels on 1885,

Meadows 80 Per Cent Normal.
Kansas meadows were in 80 per
cN1t normal condition May / as COM
pared with SS per cent last year. and
a five per cent reduction in tame hay
and four per cent reduction in wild
hay is forecast. However, it is esti-
mated that 10 per cent, or S91, 900
tons of last years crop remain on
hands.
Mortality of livestock in Kansas for
the year ending May /. 1921, is esti-
mated as follows, per thousand head:
Horses and mules from disease IA;
cattle from disease, IS; cattle frol.l ex-
posture, q; sheep from disease and ex-
posufe, 2S; lambs from disease and
exposure, 80; swine from disease,\ IS.
These are either normal or subnorTna1
losses except for swine. Rather viru-
lent outbreaks of cholera are respon-
sible for hog losses.

Won Over by Arguments.
Berlin, May 9.-Germany's acceptance
of the allied PREPARATIONS ultimatum
appeared certain late today.
The few remaining groups at the
interparty conference which held out
against acceptance were gradually be-
ing won over by the argument that re-
fusal would mean that the allies would
permit Poland to retain Upper Silesia.
AS a final counter proposal, one
group suggested refusal to sign and an
alliance with the Russian Bolsheviki.

be the most likely choice for ehancel-
lor in the new cabinet, with DIR. Will
helm Mayer as foreign minister.

Whirlwind in WiIliamstown

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. July %
Damage estimated at 81 900 was
caused and more than two score of fine
elm trees, rich in age and scenic beauty
were ruined yesterday afternoon in one
of the most unusual storms that ever
visited this section. In all, about 30
trees, all of them of good size and some
30 to 60 feet III height and from three
to four feet in diameter. were either up
rooted or broken during the course of a
whirlwind that descended upon Viii
Jamestown at $50 yesterday afternoon.
The whirlwind lasted only three min
utes, but during that time the damage it
did was such as to litter the streets of
the town. put the electric wires out of
compassion so that last night the town
was obliged to resort to gas or kerosene
for illumination. destroy garden crops,
break some telephone wires. and cause
a temporary tieup of the Williamstown
line of the Berkshire street railway.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Another
substitute for the Norris agricultural
credits came out Yesterday, the senate ag-

new measure embodying the administers

drafted by Secretary Hoover and Direc-

In discussing the measure Senator
Norris (Neb.) suffered a partial col
lapse at the close of an address of nearly
three hours. The effort combined with
intense heat, exhausted him, and he was
taken to an adjoining committee room.
where first aid remedies were applied by
Senator Ball (Del), a physician. who
said Mr.. Norris's condition was not be-
heved to be serious. Later Senator Nor
ris was taken to his home, and last night
