NOT A PROMISING PROSPECT
McAufiffe Says Things Look Like
Small Wheat Crop

Prospects for the 1922 Kansas
wheat crop are far from fattering
just now, in the opinion Of Maurice
McAuliffe, president Of the Kansas
Farmers Union. McAuliffe Is in To-
peka for the annual convention Of the
National Farmers Union which open
ed today.
I'VE are now in the middle of
November with large acreage Of the
sown wheat not yet up, and all that
is up is badly in need of rain. This
doesn't make the prospects for wheat
for the coming year look very encour-
aging just now.
81 have, however, seen prospects
for a wheat crop at this time of year
as poor as they are now and season
able rains bring it out fairly well.
But we must remember that humus in
the soil is being exhausted year after
year and 1t hasn't the ability any
more to bring forth a wheat crop
under unfavorable circumstances that
It had when 1t was rich in humus."

CROP The total value Of all livestock
products in this state in 1920 was ap-
proximately 1853 million dollars.
Kansas has approximately 3,O0O,-
900 head of cattle, three fourths of
which are beef animals. The United
States department of agriculture
places Kansas in fourth rank among
the states in number of cattle on the

The second largest meat-packing
industry in the world is located In
Kansas and the supplies of raw ma
