time the export value of wheat and
wheat flour exceeded the value of cot
ton exports
Exports of corn in 1921, including
corn meal converted into terms of
corn, were larger than in any year
since 1900. Since 1919, the United
States has become an exporter of rice,
the exports of 6OO,050,0 900 pounds in
1921, being more than % times the
average annual rice exports in the
five-year period-191O-1914 Exports

Most of Rural Schools to Main

Thirteen Kansas Schools viii
Increase Teachers Salaries.

Three-fourths of the rural high
schools in Kansas either will maintain
present wage scales for teachers and

substantial increases.
Questionnaires recently sent out by
l.. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas
state Teachers association, were filled

made available by these reports is
compiled in statistical form and is
being sent out to the teachers of Kan
sas and to others interested in uphold
ing present high standards of teach
ing.
The compilation shows: Thirteen
rural high schools plan to increase
teachers salaries next year, and fif-
teen rural high schools will increase
salaries paid principals: seventy-five
rural high schools will continue the
present scale for teachers and eighty
two will make no change in the SAL
aries of principals. Only thirty-nine
schools of the 12S reporting even con-
template a reduction in salaries for
teachers. and only thirty-one are con-
sidering cuts in salaries paid prin-
cipals.
Salary Cut Would Drive Them Away.
In submitting the reports almost
every rural high school principal de-
clared a. salary cut for teachers at
this time undou btedly will mean that
many of the best qualified and most
efficient teachers will leave the rural
high schools and seek places in the
larger cities, or else leave the profess
sion for some line of work where exc
perience and constant study get more
suitable financial reward.
Developing these comments into
summary of results Secretary Pinet
says on the back page of his circular;
"If the boys and girls of rural com
munities are to continue to enjoy the
type of high school education espe-
cially suited to their needs, if the So
cial and intellectual life in rural dis
tricts and small towns and villages is
to be enriched and quickened, if it is
worth while to give the youth from
the farm an, equal chance with the
youth from the city,-then it is sheer
folly and nothing else, to talk of salary

TO HELP KANSAS BANKERS
Plan Being Discussed With Represen-
tatives of War Finance Board.

Governor Allen, Frank H. Foster,
state bank commissioner; and Richard
J. Hopkins, attorney general, are in
Kansas City today attending con-
ference with representatives of the
war finance corporation. The con-
ference was called to discuss plans
of relieving Kansas state banks from
operations of laws which prevent their
participation of farm loan funds of the
finance corporation.
The war finance corporation re-
quires deposit of 20 per cent collateral
in addition to the face value of all
loans. Placing of such collateral is
prohibited under state banking laws
and state banks are thus precluded
from use of a portion of the billion
dollar agricultural fund. Representa-
tives of the finance corporation and
state officials hope to reach an agree
ment in the Kansas City conference
which will relieve the situation Re
Gently Governor Allen was urged to
call a. special session of the legislature
to provide remedial legislation.
