shriyehng. Hail storms caused heavy
local losses, particularly in Russell
and Ford counties. Ch1nch bugs and
stem maggot added some quota to the
aggregate damage. The lowering of
prospects in eastern and central Kan
sas was partially offset by improve
ment in parts of western Kansas
where spring-sprouted fields of thin
stand are showing prospects far be-
yond the most optimistic early expec-
tations.
Kansas corn acreage is estimated at
Is per cent larger than last year,
making 5,291, goo acres. Condition on
July I is, rated at 50 per cent of nor
mai. which is exactly the ten-year
average condition and six points lower
than last year. The July forecast is
for a crop of 94,41s,000 bushels of
corn but with the present ample mois-
ture III. all parts of the state the final
outcome is likely to be well over the
100, 100000 bushel mark. July is the
critical month for corn. The present
crop is about ten days to two weeks
below normal in development but is
generally a good stand, well titled and
free from weeds. Chinch bugs have
been very troublesome in the corn
fields of eastern Kansas this season
but recent rains ought to aid material
ly in their control.
kansas oats have declined $1,000 900
bushels in prospect since June Z. AL
ready a poor prospect in eastern KAN
sas the June heat ripened them pre-
maturely and also materially lowered
what was considered a splendid out
Hook in north central Kansas in the
Solomon and Republican valleys. The
present forecast is also about 9,o00.-
600 bushels less than Kansas pro-
duced last year.
Barley condition dropped from So
per cent last month to 81 per cent on
July 1 and is now eleven points below
the ten year average. The forecast
declines from 1916 900 bushels to
14.540.O00 bushels. Last years crop
was 100000 bushels. Barley was
prematurely ripened by the mid-June
heat except in the northwestern coun-
ties. In the south central counties it
was hurt by chinch bugs and some
fields were destroyed by green bugs.

ing $40 Worth OF Goods.
Mrs. Carrie Miller. AZ, = waitress.
was under arrest at police headquar-
tiers today charged with stealing $12s
worth OF merchandise from five To-
peka stores She has confessed to
the thefts, officers said.
Mrs. Miller was arrested about II
o'clock Monday night by Detective Ed
Nedeau, who had been working on the
case for several weeks. She was taken
into custody as she left the postoffice.
She said she came here from Des
Moines, Ia, last November, and has
since been living at n local rooming
house and working in various restau-
rants as a waitress She was divorced
from her husband in Des Moines, she
told the officers.
Her shoplifting activities have COW
cred the time from her arrival in
Topeka until a few days ago. 1t was
stated. The stores and the amounts
OF merchandise she confessed to steal
ing are: Crosby Brothers, 110.76; Ed
wards Cloak company, $44.25; Pei
letters, SEAS; Scott company, $3.50.
and Warren NJ. Crosby company, ap-
proximately S36. All the goods have
been recovered and were identified
at police headquarters today by the
owners.
In her room was found a large trunk
full of clothes. some OF them appar-
lieve may have been stolen, but not
in Topeka. Mrs. Miller claims she
bought them. The goods taken from
the Topeka stores included hats and
other wearing apparel, and doiles, tea
sets and similar articles.

Is, 1851, 900 bushels from s5S,000 acres.
The sorghum forage acreage, includ-
ing both saccharine and grain sor-
ghums for silo and forage purposes. IS
placed at 772,000 acres as compared
with $4,000 acres last year an in
crease of II per cent Sorghum acre
age was largely increased by accre-
tions from abandoned wheat land in
the west.
9 Potatoes Not So Good.
The potato acreage this year is about
the same as last, 5000 acres for the
state. The strictly commercial acreage
in the Kaw Valley is 1880 as COM
pared with $1,000 acres last year. The
July condition is rated at rs per cent
normal. forecasttng 4.241,000 bushels.
The Kaw Valley crop was so severely
damaged by the June heat wave that
the production this year will not like
ly be larger than last years in spite OF
increased acreage: Last years ship
ments from the KaW Valley district
were 1856 cars. The movement of
the Kansas crop this year has been
earlier than last; IS cars had moved
from Kaw Valley points by July 1
this year as compared with six cars the
same date in 1921. Competition in
the market for Kaw Valley potatoes
this year promises to be keen, be-
ginning about July 20th to 25th. The
commercial acreage at Kearny. Neb..
is about double that of last year and
prospects there are excellent and
movement will begin in ten days to
two weeks. The Caldwell, Idaho, dis
trict has 1900 acres this year as
compared with $500 acres last year
and present condition in that district
is rated at Sc per cent as compared
with SO per cent last season. The
Caldwell district shipped 165 cars in
July, 1921, and 1.703 cars in August;
twice that many cars can be expected
in the same periods this year.
Condition of other crops in Kansas
on July 1st is rated as follows: Flax,
"A per cent; rye, so per cent; apples,
IS per cent; peaches, 81 per cent;
grapes, SO per cent; ears, 10 er cent;
