KANSAS CROPS
MAKING MANY
FARMERS RICH
TOPEKA, Kans., Sept. 2 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Stories of sudden
wealth in the Kansas wheat belt are
numerous this year, due unusual
acreage of “volunteer wheat,” a crop
grown from seeds which fall in the
previous harvesting. Officially esti
mated there was 1,500,000 acres of
volunteer wheat in Kansas this year,
or about a sixth of the total harvest
ed acreage. This wheat yielded about
probably 40,000,000 bushels or repre
senting a monetary value of about
$100,000,000. The total Kansas crop
of wheat is estimated officially at
150,000,000 bushels.
The large acreage of volunteer
wheat is due to the fact that a great
deal of this acreage was deserted as
| wheat land by the owners, after last
year’s none to bountiful crop had been
harvested. The 1919 acreage was in
excess of 11,000,000, by far the record
for any state in the union. A wet fall
caused the kernals of wheat which
had fallen to the ground during har
vesting to germinate.
Finding the “volunteer’ crop mak
ing a stand, farmers did not disturb
the growth and, with ideal wheat
growing weather this spring, the vol
unteer wheat made yields fully as
bountiful as the rest of the crop.
Innumerable stories of “deserted
acreages,” producing $5,000 to $25,
000 worth of wheat come from west
exu xvciiiscts wnere me duik of the
volunteer wheat was grown. Others
tell of farmers who purchased farms
this year and paid for them with the
“sudden wealth” general throughout
the western Kansas counties, where
land has been cheap and favorable
seasons few and far between, a re
cent canvass of wheat yields in the
vicinity of Oakley, a small town 60
miles east of the Colorado line, in
Logan county, showed at least 50 far
mers whose wheat crops this year are
worth more than $50,000 each; at
least 25 have more than $75,000 of
wheat each and every farmer has a
good crop. Thirteen counties, most
of them of northwest Kansas, this
year are yielding 43,701,637 bushels
of wheat, according to the latest of
ficial estimate by the state board of
agriculture.
The one big drawback to the Kan
sas wheat grower’s prosperity this
year is the lack of facilities in which
to transport his wheat to the market
centers. Cars still are scarce, es
pecially in the central and western
parts of the state but the situation is
not as desperate as it was two months
ago, grain dealers report.
Favorable summer rains have prac
tically assured a big corn crop in
Kansas this season. The crop has
been officially estimated at 140,000,
000 bushels and the official forecast
ers now assert that the continued
favorable weather means the yield
. will mount still higher. The Kansas
weather bureau here reported that it
is the first year in its 33 years exis
tence that KailSflS harl “hnmno-r”
wheat and corn crops the same year.
A banker who has lived in Kansas
52 years, is authority for the state
ment that in that time, such a favor
able crop combination never before
occurred.
Similar conditions prevail with the
oats and barley crops which have
been harvested. The state raised 20,
000,000 bushels of barley,—four times
the average annual yield of the last
20 years.
Alfalfa and grain sorghums, to
which millions of acres are devoted
in Kansas, likewise are producing
bountiful crops. Kaw valley potato
growers report one of the best crops
ever grown. As one editor of west
ern Kansas puts it: “The horn of
plenty appears to have been dumped
right into the lap of Kansas this
year.”

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 (by Asso

Vernon first baseman, started suit yes
terday against William Essick, mana
ger of the Vernon team in the Coast
league, for $50,000 for alleged libel.

INAUGURATES OWN PLAN
OF MAKING UP SCHEDULE
SALT LAKE, Sept. 2 (by Associated
Press).—The University of Utah’s foot
ball team this year inaugurated the
plan of making its own schedule, in
the hope that Utah, this year, or in
years to come, will meet all western
university teams. In the past Utah
has played only members of the Rocky
Mountain conference.
Already games are scheduled this
year with the University of California
and the University of Nevada, two
schools Utah has not met recently.
Leaders at the university hope next
1 year to add the schools of Washington
and Oregon to the list. The California
team will be played at Berkeley, Oc
tober 23. Nevada will play here Octo
ber 30.
TENTATIVE DATES SET FOR
DAVIS CUP TENNIS TUORNEY
SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 2 (by As
sociated Press).—Tentatives dates for
the international tennis matches for
the Davis cup have been set for the
last of December and the first of Jan
uary—the height of New Zealand’s
summer. According to present plans,
the matches will be held at Auckland,
the largest city of New Zealand.
Although unable to grant definitely
the request of New Zealand players
that the matches be held at Auckland,
the Lawn Tennis Association of Aus
tralasia has authorized expenditures
in anticipation of the contests there.
Final choice of Auckland depends upon
the consent of the challenging nation.
Tennis players of Australia and New
Zealand, through the Australian asso
ciation, have declined an invitation
from the United States Lawn Tennis
Association to support competition for
the Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman cup, a
prize for women along the lines of the
Davis cup for men. At a meeting of
the association here it was decided to
i
j inform the American organization that
j the Australasian body is not prepared
! at this time to compete.
