KANSAS PLANNING
TO HARVEST GRAIN
Farmers Find Crops Well
Forward, With Prospect
of Big Yield.
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, May 31.-The gar.
gantuan cornucopia of golden grain
which the Southwest has been care
fully boarding during the Winter
months will pour forth into the Ma
tons bread pan within the next few
weeks.
The fields of waving green are turn
ing into golden-hued carpets. The
Gathering combines already are un-
limbering in preparation for the task
before them. and in the remote sec
tions the "old-fashioned" thrashing
machine is numbering out to join i'll
the tireless activity of the harvest.
Harvesting will begin early this
year. The Kansas State Board of
Agriculture described the growth two
weeks ago as very advanced. with
heavy. long straw and abundant
stooling." Even then heads We're be-
ginning to appear in fields along the
Oklahoma border.
Thousands of Workers Gather.
Thousands of harvest hands have
gathered here to enter the fields, but
their number is somewhat less than
in previous years because of the COM
bines, giant machines which harvest
and thrash the wheat in one process.
Nearly i 1t,puVpuUU acres pl WHEAT Will
be harvested in Kansas, oklahoma and
Texas. The Government crop report
has estimated the Kansas crop at 49,
100000 bushels, the Oklahoma crop at
51,40S,000 and the Texas crop at
28462, 600.
Last year millerS in Kansas, Okla
homa, Texas, Missouri and Nebraska
estimated farmers in those States re-
ceived nearly one-half a billion dollars
for their wheat
In western Kansas thousands of
acres of wheat are grown in a single
field by single farmer. The modern
machinery, assuring speed in harvest
ing, makes it possible for the farmers
to plant great stretches and to har-
vest their crops quickly before winds
and rains scatter them over the
ground.
The railroads face a much more
difficult task at harvest time now than
they did in the heydey of the reaper

DUNDEE RULED OUT
New York Commission Says He Is
Neither a Champion nor the Con-

New York. June 16 (UP) -
Johnny Dundee. retired feather
weight champion. was ruled today
by the New York boxing commits
sion to be neither a champion nor
a contender for the championship.
The ruling came as a result of
an application made by Humbert
Fugazy, New York. for a permit
to stage a match between Dundee
and Red Chapman, Boston, for the
title. F'ugazy had matched Chap
man and Honeyboy Finnegan but
Finnegan became Ill and had to
call off the match.
The commission turned down
Dundee on the grounds that he
had been inactive too long and did

their istic sincerity Sergeant Sam

Sid ferris knocked out Ruby Gold

the ringside as guest Of Mayor

SETTING
Pace IN tourney
Minneapolis Golfer Fighting to
Hold Early Lead

Oakmont Country Club. Hutton,
Penn. June is (UP)-Setting the
pace In the greatest OF open golf
championships, Slim Harrison
Johnston OF Minneapolis went out
early today to prove that his place
is at the top.
When the field Of e. golfers, sur
vivors in tho stern test provided by
Oakmont. swung into action in this
decisive day. the popular feeling
was that one OF the professionals
little Gene Sarazen or debonair
Walter Hagen would overtake
the blonde Minneapolis amateur
before tho day was done.
AS for the champion. Bobby
Jones OF Atlanta. he grimly faced
the task of making up for two dis
appointing rounds. There was moth
ing OF easy confidence In Bobby's
demeanor.
Jones started out today six strokes
behind Jimmy" Johnston and sew
eral behind his more dangerous op-
ponents. Hagen, Sarazen and Harry
Cooper OF Sacramento. to say moth
ing OF tall Tommy Armour, great
est Of shot-makers with his irons,
who was In third place with a to-
tai OF 145. two strokes behind the
leader.
If I can pass Hagen, can win
the championship" predicted Bob
by. who was among the last Of 81
to tee of.
Jimmy" Johnston said nothing
more than that he expected to do
better than heretofore. II he does,
no probably will come through
successfully: one slip. and the
eager pursuers will overtake him.
for the class OF those closest on the
Minneapolis golfers trail has been
proved in many an open champion
ship before this.
Expectations today were for some
Embarrassing rounds. The open
Championship OF 1927 has been
rated the greatest ever. on the
ground that originally the field
contained the finest golfng talent
that ever contested for the open
crown.
Until today the results had been
distinctly disappointing. One golfer.
a local professional named Fred
Baroni. had equalled par, and an
other, Tommy Armour, had better
ed it by stroke.
All the rest failed In varying de-
grees on the first two days. With
So holes to be played over the diff
ficult Oakmont course on the final
day. the large galleries which gath
cred early looked for something
sensational.
There still was a chance for some
one OF the leaders to zoom sudden
ly to the golfing fame by setting
the course afire with a really great
round. II one Of them were capable
OF two great rounds, he could put
the open championship Of the year
in his pocket.
AS the third round began. the
impression was that Bobby Jones
would be unequal to the task of
catching up with the leaders.
Ordinarily. the tendency in recent
years has been to give the Albanian
credit for super-human golhng
ability which makes opposition
worse than useless. This time. even
Bobby himself seemed to feel that
his sun had set, and that the cham
pionship would 90 to another.
