Unless More Rain Cutting VIII Start
June 1-PIenty Labor

Dallas, Tex. May 1o.-With only a
fair yield of wheat In sight in Texas
this spring. first harvesting of the
grain is expected to get under way
about June /. in the northern section
of the state, according to reports re-
ceived by the Texas Farm Bureau
federation and the Texas Industrial
congress today.
Further rains, of which there has
already been too much for the benefit
the crop. will cause some delay in
getting harvesting under way, these
reports stated. Large loss to the crop
in north and northeast Texas has
been caused by several heavy wind and
hail storms Very little wheat has
been planted in south Texas this year.
Green bugs appearing in scattering
sections. also have wrought some de-
struction.
No shortage. Of labor is anticipated
and wheat growers are making no
preparations to provide against such
shortage.

COURT HEARS RATE CASES
Three Kansas Electric Railroads Pre-
sent Evidence in District Court.

Testimony and arguments in the
suits brought by three Kansas electric
railroads to set aside an order of the
industrial court granting rate in
creases to the Kansas Gas & Electric
company, of Wichita, were being
heard Jointly by Judge George H.
Whitcomb and Judge James A. Nc
Clure in the first division of the dis
trict court today.
The suits were brought by the Ar
kansas Valley Interurban railway
company, running from Newton to
Wichita the Joplin & Pittsburg rail-
way company, and the Wichita Rail-
way Electric company. The new
public utilities commission was sub
stituted for the court of industrial re-
lations as defendant. The Wichita Gas
& Electric company supplies the three
railroads with power. and was recently
given permission by the industrial
court to increase its rates. The rail-
roads claim the new rate is excessive.
The plaintiffs are attacking the rate
on three grounds. First, that it is in
violation of the COZ tracts between the
railroads and the Wichita company.
Second, that it is excessive and un-
reasonable and third that the proceed
ings in which it was granted were ir-
regular
