OPENING THE ROAD BIDS
Commissioners Have Plenty Of Pro-
posaIs From Contractors

More than fifty Chapman business
men attended the meeting of the
county commissioners today when
bids were opened for the paving of
a little less than four miles through
Chapman and to the county line.
Twelve bids of all kinds, including
bridge bids. were submitted. The
board adjourned after the morning
session until 2:30 when the sched-
ules were to be completed. Chapman
is very anxious to have the letting
made ut once.
The lowest bid for concrete was
by List & Hallett, at $29,4O0 mile.
However. there are also bids for brick
on the Chapman city section and on
this Ziegler 4 Dalton are lowest. The
low bid is well below the engineers
estimate and far more reasonable
than most persons expected. Fed
eral aid Is given for $4,000 mile
which is deducted from the cost.

PLANT BEST HALF OATS CROP
Wet Weather May Mean Big Corn
Acreage

HStCdkS
Not more than so per cent of the
intended oats crop in Kansas will be
planted because of the extreme wet
weather Of the past week, according
to the weekly crop report of the
State Board Of Agriculture. As much
as 80 per cent of the land expected
to be sown to oats may be held for
corn and other crops as a result Of
the continued rains. the report states.
"The continued wet weather has
caused farmers to practically aban-
don the sowing Of oats and but 30
to SO per cent Of the intended acre
age will be devoted to that crop"
the report states. Indications are
that the oats land not seeded will
be planted to corn and the sOrghums,
particularly kaffir and sudan grass.
The extreme wet weather also has
badly delayed potato planting. espec-
tally in the Kaw river heavy pro-
ducing region and probably but 30
per cent Of the acreage there is
planted so far. Practically no spring
work could be carried on In eastern,
central and sOuthcentral counties last
week and rivers and creeks were at
food stage following heavy rains
on Saturday. Il
