harvest that points toward putting Kansas over the 300,000,000 bushel mark this
season. The weather has been perfect for
the past week to promote combining the big crop – in fact so favorable that the

department as called to a farm southwest of town where fire destroyed less than
two acres of standing wheat. There was
considerable damage to the combine.
