The Kansas
Wheat Harvest
Starts Soon
The Crop, However, Probably Will Be
Smallest the State Has Pro
duced Since 1917.
Topeka. 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.

GOVERNMENT IS SUSTAINED
Paris. The government of Pre
mier Daladier was sustained early
Thursday when a question of confi
dence was put to a vote in both
houses of parliament. The chamber
of deputies backed up the govern
ment by a 359 to 200 vote in passing
a compromise measure creating a
committee to study a proposal for a
government monopoly of oil importa
tion. The premier repeated hia vic
tory in the senate, y which accepted
the chamber's compromise bill by a
157 to 121 vote. In both cases, the
issue was made a question of con
fidence. ,
Omaha. An inventory of the es
tate of Chauncey Abbott, jr., prom
inent Omaha manufacturer who was
killed in an automobile accident last
December, valued the property at
about $50,000 and listed numerous
additional securities, notes and jew
elry as having a value unknown. The
nventory was filed in county court

4-H Clubbers to
Concentrate on
Demonstrations
All Are Required to Show Their
Procedure in. 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.
NEITHER CAN HAVE DIVORCE
Newport, R, I. Mrs. Eugenia
Woodward Jelke was found innocent
of Infidelity, but, because both she
and her husband, F. Frazier Jelke,
have practiced "extreme cruelty" to
ward each other neither may have a
divorce. That, In substance, was the
decision handed down - by Judge
Walsh after two weeks hearing of
the couple's matrimonial difficulties
Both parties sought a divorce but
Judge Walsh, holding neither had
been blameless of violations of the
marriage covenant, refused to void
the relationship.
"Ia this case, a3 It appears that
each of the parties hereto has been
guilty of extreme cruelty toward the
other, we cannot grant either of them
relief," Judge Walsh ruled. He found
that Jelke has not produced evidence
to support charges that his wife had
been unfaithful to him in Birming
ham, Ala., and New York City.
There was no doubt, the Judge
stated that Mr. Jelke was Infatuated
with his young wife and "We are not
convinced that the wife reciprocated
this affection."
