Clattering combines soon will be lumbering across Kansas wheat fields but the crop they will harvest promises to be the smallest the state has poured into the world'; break basket since 1917. High winds, drought and other un favorable weather factors have play ed havoc with the golden grain crop in the country's premier wheat state Latest govrnment estimates point to a Harvest or oniy os,4Sb,uuu Dusneis this year, compared with Kansas' rec ord-breaking crop of 239,742,000 bushels in 1931 and an average yield of 153,186,000 bushels in the five pre ceding years. Nearly half the latest government estimate is 48 per cent of the 11, 477,000 acres sown to wheat in the state last year has been abandoned. Some of the abandoned acreage was a total failure, and on some not enough wheat sprouted to make it worth the cost of harvest. In Western and Central Parts. The abandonment has been most extensive in western and central Kansas, the principal wheat area in the state. There is one consolation for the wheat farmers this year prices. Last year's crop sold for an average price of 29 cents a bushel. This year the price is around 60 cents in central Kansas. Indications are the harvest will get under way in southeastern Kan sas around June 10. From there it will move gradually across the state in a northwesterly direction, and by July 1 the harvest should be in full swing. While definite statistics are un available, J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, ex pressed belief that half the Kansas crop would be harvested with com bines tne tractor-drawn successor of the horse-powered binder and steam-operated threshing outfit which cuts and threshes the grain in one operation as it moves across the fields. More Combines Now. Despite the depression, , combines have increased in number in Kansas. Board of agriculture statistics show ed 25,474 in the state last year, com pared with 24,656 in 1931. No fig ures are available for this year. The combine has done away with the army of harvest hands that in years gone by invaded the state each summer, "ridnig the rods," ts find work in the wheat fields. Now two men operate the customary combine and tractor outfit, while several oth ers haul the grain to market in trucks.

Demonstration in Public Every Year. Nebraska 4-H clui members and the entire staff of the agricultural extension service will specialize on 4-H club demonstration the first week in August, according to plans an nounced from the office of L. I. Fris bie of the agricultural extension serv ice at Lincoln. Between July 31 and Aug. 5 coun ty and state extension agents will help the boy3 and girls and their local leaders in each county of the state having a county farm bureau. Arrangements are being made so that two specialists of the agricul tural extension service will watch the demonstrations in each county and offer constructive criticism of the demonstrations. The demonstration day will not be onducted as a con test, but rather as an educational program to help the boys and girls with one important part of their 4-H club work. County agents who are to ar range tne local details tor eacn or the demonstration days are asked to schedule their teams in the order that they can appear and allow from twen ty to forty minutes per team. A good demonstration is about twenty to thirty minutes long, the extra time being allowed in this case for the criticisms. County agents plan to put more experienced club members on their afternoon programs at the demon stration days. They will urge the boys and girl3 who have been in club work only one or two years to watch the older, more experienced demon strators thruout the day. In the standard 4-H club program of Nebraska the boys and girls are required to give at least one public demonstration in their home com munity or at some fair or some other public occasion. This demonstrating along with their judging practice and the exhibiting of their products at community, county and state fairs constitutes an important part in their educational program, Frisbie ex plained. During the last three or four years the emphasis has been placed on the judging of 4-H club products, this being the first year that a series of demonstration days are scheduled.
