BOOK IS POPULAR
"Wheat in Kansas a Valuable
State Publication.
More Than 10000 Copies Have
Been Distributed.

wheat in Kansas" has proved 20
be the most popular publication ever
issued by the state board of agricul-
ture.
Altho this book, which contains
about $40 pages, came from the press
less than month ago, already more
than 10000 of the $4,000 copies
printed have been distributed, and a
second edition may be necessary at an
early date. Applications are coming
in at the rate of more than 100 a day
The vice president of one of the
largest flour mills in the state, located
at Wichita, has requested 200 copies
which will be distributed principally to
mills and grain firms in Latin America
and Europe.
While the board of agriculture has
issued much literature for the promo
ton of the Kansas wheat industry, it
has never before made such a COM
plete and exhaustive investigation of
the subject as covered by the volume
wheat in Kansas" It is a companion
work to Alfalfa in Kansas and Hogs
in Kansas"
This volume is essentially a Kansas
book, primarily for Kansas farmers,
and because of its scope and character,
we feel it will prove Of peculiar value
to wheat growers in all portions OF the
state" said Secretary ]. c. Mohler. ''It
has been our endeayor TO have it rank
as high in wheat literature as does
Kansas in wheat p-oduction-first.
We have tried to make it cyclopedic,
not only as to methods and practices,
but with respect to Kansas standing
as a wheat producer and the rating of
her breadstuffs in the estimation of
the world"
The board of agriculture relied
largely upon farmers of the state for
direct information re,ating to the pro-
duction end of wheat-growing busi-
ness, interviewing by means of a
QUESTIONABLE thousands of represen-
tatiye wheat raisers thruout the state.
Scientists of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college and officers of the
farm bureau, grange and Farmers
union co-operated in pointing out ways
of improvement, based on experiments
and study.
ITO zealously uphold the standard
Of Kansas wheat is vitality important"
said Secretary Mohler. eff the state is
to enjoy the full fruits of a reputa-
ton so justly earned, and one of the
aims Of Wheat in Kansas is to point
the way to even greater excellence,
which implies not only more intelli-
gent but more profitable wheat farm
ing"

Cardinal Logue, prinmte- of ireland
the highest Catholic prelate in the

Il favor ratification of the treaty"
sa .d Cardinal LOgue. 4 think that
de Valera in his message to the Irish
people acted unfairly and preSudiceG
the decision of Dali Eireann.
IT shall probably call meeting of
Roman Catholic bishops early next
week to discuss the situation. j. is
my opinion that the country should be
consulted"
Peace Party in Majority.
The revelation that the Roman
Catholic church is favorable to rati-
fication of the treaty gave tremendous
impetus to the movemeE-s II the
peace party head by Arthur Grif-
fifth and Michael Collins.
A canvass of Dublin reveals that q
majority OF the citizens favor ratifi-
cation of the treaty and are opposed
to the recalcitrant stand of de Va
lera-
Anxiety was eoorosscd in some
quarters that the FIERY and impas-
rsioned oratory of de Valera in Dali
Eireaun next Wedn esday might prove
effective in holding up ratification,
but it was held that this would be off,
set by Griffith's matter-of-fact pros
eutation of the case and by the pow
erful personality of Michael Collins.
Split Not Dangerous.
London, Dec. 10 Cby the A. P)-

published that the split in the Dali
cabinet is not likely to prevent pas

II the Dali ratIfies the agreement
Eamon de Valera the new die-hard
as one Belfast newspaper describes
him, will, according to some versions,
resign as head of the Dali government
and Arthur Griffith Will succeed him.
Should this occur, Austin Stack minis

Dali cabinet, will, it is thought, fol-

Oath Chief Objection.
In this case, Mr. De Valera and the
two ministers might seek reelection
on the republican ticket and in the
parliament of the new IEsh free state
follow the president of the republicans

the oath of allegiance. absentIng them
selves while it was being taken.
Another suggestion is that they not
stand for reelection but form a sep

aimed at boycOtting the parliamentary
elections.
The Times Dublin correspondent
describes the crisis created by De Va
as one which unless the highest states
manship is exercised will create a
schism and introduce, a new bitter

Chicago, Dec 10-Reliefs from drought in
the, southwest has brougf about material
setback n wheat prices this week. Com
pared with week ago the wheat market
this morning was down 1Bc to Size ii
bushel with corn unchanged to sc lower,
oats unchanged to 15c off, and provisions
varying from Soc decline to 37e advance.
Increased offerings of wheat from south
western sources became quickly apparent
after reports arrived telling of rain and
snow over parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas, states in which lack of moisture
had OF late been persistent. As a result
July, a new crop month, was bearishIy
affected in particular and touched a new
low price record for the season.
Poor demand for wheat and flour at
Minneapolis and Kansas City acted as Il
further weight values but were substan-
tally eounterbalanced in a measure by
better export demand and by word that
British stock of wheat had dropped to less
than third of the total yenr ago
Good export demand for corn did a good
deal to steady corn and oats.
Strike troubles tended to restrict trad
ing in provisions and to make quotations
irregular.
