TOPEKA. Kans., July 24.-Wheat
has repla ced oil as the source of a
rapid wealth in Kansas.
Poor tenant farmers who have
struggled for years, many of them
in the southwestern part of the state
who were compelled TO appeal to
the public for seed wheat loans last
fall to seed this years crop, today
find themselves wealthy. Many
others who had purchased farms
with small payments and who ex-
pected to have mortgages hanging
over these farms foc years, are In a
position to pay off those mortgages,
buy more land. build new houses
and barns. or purchase motor cars
and other things they have denied
themselves for years.
Kansas unprecedented wheat
crop has produced all this wealth.
and with rising prices. promises to
convert this wealth nto even great
er wealth before all the crop is mar
lSeted.
Hundreds of farmers. anticipating
price hikes caused by poor crops in
Canada and other wheat producing
countries. are holding their wheat
for the gain they feel sure will be
theirs by not marketing II at once.
The contrast with last years con-
ditions is especially pronounced in
the southwestern part of the state.
where busted" farmers of fourteen
countries last year appealed to grain
dealers, chambers of commerce and
other organizations throughout the
country for assistance in buying the
seed necessary to make another crop
possible.
Kansas granaries will burst with
their wheat this summer-and be-
fore it is all gone there will be a
bumper crop of corn. according to
the estimates of crop conditions by
statisticians of the state and federal
departments OF agriculture. Corn
conditions have greatly improved
since the bountiful rains of the past
few days, the statisticians report.

Fake Paintings Shown
Up By Ultraviolet

Berkeley, Cal, April 9-(By A. P.)
Fraudulent representations OF
paintings by the masters can be de-
tected by turning ultraviolet light
rays on the art objects, according to
members of the faculty of the art
department in the University Of Cali
fornia. Experiments along this line
are being made at the university.
Under ultra violet rays the brush
strokes show plainly" said a pro-
lessor, land If photographs are made
while the lights are turned on the

also are shown, and when these are
compared with the kinds known to
have been used by the artist. sup

cess to painting. 1t is inevitable that
it will come into general USE"
