CUTTING
PRODUCTION
Of WHEAT
AgricuIturist Tells Kansas
Grain Growers They Must
Diversity Crops.
BY FRANK e. MILLER.
International News Service.

WICHITA, Kan. July 17.-The
real panacea for the ills Of the
wheat industry is diversification.
Such was the message today OF
j. c. Mohler, secretary of the Kan
sas State Board Of Agriculture, to
hundreds of farmers who gathered
here from all parts of the great
Inld-Western wheat belt to work out
the salvation of their industry in
the face of product selling far less
than 81 per bushel.
The world, Mol1ler said, is over
loaded with wheat. Because Euro
pean farmers turned to this product,
when their continent was hungry
there is now an abundance there, be
said, and consequently the Euro
pean market has diminished; the
hope to increase a Democratic con-
sumption to absorb the domestic
surplus is futile. Therefore, at
seems we must face the realization
that the wheat market has broken
under an over supply" the agricul
turist declared, summing up the
situation. II
IF that is correct" he asked
''what is the remedy? It is, as IL
appears to me, to change the farm
| ing methods to meet the changed
| conditions, or, in a word, diEersi
