GOLDEN SMILE FOR KANSAS IN WHEAT HARVEST

The wheat harvest of Kansas has begun. Thotfsands and thousands of acres in Southern Kansas are being turned from fields of waving gold to patches of stubble. Seldom before has Kansas gone into a harvest with such favorable conditions. Perfect ripening weather has prevailed for the third largest wheat crop of the state.- No blight has caused damage. So far labor is plentiful. Acting under the authority of Governor Allen, fifty men will be released temporarily from the state prison, and about sixty from the reformatory, to assist in the harvest. The quality of the wheat this year is high grade. Government estimates on acreage and yield are beeing exceeded; The shortage of transportation is one drawback, but that will be mdt by shortage.
