WAS FAT YEAR FOR KANSAS
State Board of Agriculture Says Gross
Value of Farm Production
Exceeded $500000000
Profit of 100 per cent is in' sight
for those who took a chance in the
fall of 1923 and "grub-staked" the
Western Kansas"-wheat farmers seed
to sow a new crop A 90 per cent
profit dividend to the subscribers al-
ready has been declared to members
of the Central Seed Wheat Associa-
Hort Harry Sharp secretary has an-
nounced A few collections remain
to be made before final settlement on
the seed "pool" and when these have
been made another dividend which
probably will be between 5 and 10
per cent will be declared All money
Invested in the enterprise through
the Central Seed Wheat Association
was returned about three months ago
after the farmers had made one of
the largest crops 4n history and had
received a good price
Topeka —Kansas wheat and corn
pulled the state through the year 1924
with an estimated gross farm income
that exceeded last ‘year's by 8116-
902000 although A other products
showed a decreas In value of 10 mil-
iion dollars( from 1921' This is the
revelationlof the state board of agri-
culture which has- made public its
final inventory of agricultural pro-
duction and livestock in Kansas for
1924
The gross value of farm productiPn
in the state this year excluding live-
stock on hand is placed at $501629-
566 as compared with( 1384727510 in
1923 and $357256774 in 1922 It was
the largest gross- income of Kansas
farmers since 1920 -
The season's high values were
caused largely by increases in grain
prices coupled with fortune's boon of
a good wheat and corn 'crop while
pther parts of the world suffered
drought and low yields Wheat and
corn alone were worth 8126192110
more in 1R24 than 1923
Wheat the premier Kansas acreage
crop yielded 163 bushels to the acre
compared with 97 last year and it
brought $107 per bushel against 87
cents last year In 1923 there were
3766000 acres of wheat sown qat
never reached harvest this year only
1389000 acres were abandoned or re-
sown to spring crops
Only once in the last nine years—
and then by a small margin in 1919--
has this year's yield of corn been sur-
passed The crop aggregated 131-
008000 bushels and was well distrib-
uted over the state
Dr C C Keester 52 who has
practiced medicine in Wichita twenty
