Kansas Must Plant Wheat
Kansas must sow 10,000,000
acres of wheat this fall if she
does ber part in winning the
war. The increased acreag must
be largely in the wheat belt of
western Kansas and the labor
and the expense must fall large
ly upon the farmers in a compar
atively few counties.
Kansas is abundantly able, and
is willing, without stimulation,
or encouragement, to sow the
normal wheat crop. To under
take to handle this increased
acreage, which is so important
to the welfare of the country, it
is necessary io naye a very large
portion of the state share in the
undertaking.
The state council of defense
met yesterday to make plans for
creating two funds one a direct
cash loan fund, and the other a
crop share loan fund, amounting
all together to about $2,000,000,
with which to finance the extra
undertaking of growing a 200,-000,000-bushel
crop of weeat.
A committee was appointed to,
supervise the lending of money
to local committees in each of
the counties in which seed area
is expected to be expanded and
to supervise the purcbaseof seed
wheat for other counties which
are short this year.
Arrangements are also made
for a detailed survey of the conn
ties which are likely to increase
their whpat arrafrp 4 A An-.
mine exactly the amount of seed
wheat'' needed and the amount
necessary to finance the increas
ed undertaking.
