On a basis of reports received May 27, the agricultural department of the Santa Fe placed the Kansas wheat yield at 125,000.000 bushels. Ten days later the Kansas state board of agriculture ventured a forecast of 133.172,000 bushels. From reports -eceived June 2S, the Santa Fe raised the estimate to 140,000,000 bushels, a figure which the state board hiked bushels a few days later.

About the middle of July, ifter most of the combine-cut wheat was out of the. way, the Kansas Grain Dealers' association reported a yield of 154,475,454 bushels. If this estimate holds good, the crop is ths second largest Kansas has ever produced, exceeding the 1924 crop by approximately 1,000,000 bushels. The largest crop, 180,375,042 bushels, was produced in The crop in 1924 Tras 153,534,382 bushels. Jo the face tlie reports mentioned, and those coming from other sources, it appears that Kansas has produced this year at least 150.000,000 bushels ot wheat, and perhaps more.

The complete returns, however, will not be known until ail the wheat harvested headers and binders Is threshed, and this Is a process which will require several weeks. With a steady to higher market many fanners their wheat In the stack, or have storage facilities, are not is a hurry to sell their product, although the movement continues heavy. With respect to other crops in Kansas, conditions are somewhat "spotty." General rains have been lacking, but showers have been In favored with moisture the corn is in good condition, but elsewhere this crop, as well as alfalfa and pastures, has suSered. IE the wheat belt sufficient rain has fal- ien to permit plowing and much headway toward preparing the seed bed for another crop has been made. Prospects are for an increased acreage in 1927.
