CAN'T FIGURE ON DAMAGE
Crop Statisticians Still Guessing As
to Wheat Yield

Just how hard the Kansas wheat
crop was hit by the unseasOnably hot
weather Of the week June 1925 Is q
matter of speculation with crop sta
tisticians, grain dealers and millers.
Whether the shrinikage Of the wheat
berry and premature ripening of
grain that was maturing at the time
will materially reduce the volume Of
the crop, as well as the quality Of
the wheat, probably will be revealed
in this months crop reports issued
respectively by the federal crop sta
tistician. Edward c. Paxton, and by
J. c. MOhler, secretary of the state
board of agriculture.
That the unprecedented hot
weather which ran temperature of

for several days, damaged the
wheat, is recognized in reports re-
ceived by S. ID. Flora, state meteOrol-
ogist Mr.. FlOra's most recent week.

MICA VALUABLE PRODLCT
Is Used For Insulation In Electrical
Industry
TASSOCIHteU PreNS


Washington, July 5.--DO you re-
member how you used to sit before
the old barrel stove in the parlOr, or
before that new tangled" latrOba,
watching the glow Of the CHEEKY
winter fire through the "isinglass"
windows? You may think that since
the basement furnace has generally
supplanted the troublesome pesky
things the producers Of "isinglass"
must have long since gone bankrupt; /;
but there's more demand for 1t now
than ever before, says the U. :. Bu-
reau of Mines.
Anyway, it was not isinglass at
all in the front Of the stove. Had 1t
been, 1t would have lasted as long as
paper, for isinglass Is made Of the
air bladders of certain fish and Is a
soluble cOmbustible substance. What
really was in the stove windows was
mica, one of the oldest Of natural
and which Is now one of
the greatest boons In the electrical
industry as perfect insulator. SO
important Is mica in electrical goods,
It Is declared, that many of the
larger electrical supply manufacture
ng companies own and operate
