KANSAS WHJKAT CROP
Fanner* Have Grave Marketing Preb
i kn Before Them. ?>
An Increase iu the unrnber of cars
made available for fhe shipment of
wheat to market U a Girding some re
lief to Kansas farmers in the problem
of marketing their gralu, according to
state officials aud hankers interested
In the wheat movement, says a Tope
ka, Kansas, dispatch.
. Although there are not yet enough
ears to move all the wheat, and many
ears promised by the Interstate Com*
merce Commission have not arrived,
and railroad officials gird unable to
give any definite assuarauce as to when
they will arrive, the car shortage Is
not so desperate now a* it has been
in past years.
Officials of the state J>pard of agri
culture estimate that there are still
stored on Kansas farms 22.000.000 bush
els of last year's wheat efoy, and au
additional $.000,000 bushels of last
years' wheat In Kansas elevators. A
perceptible movement of this "hold
over crop" is now reported by the state
board of agriculture.
There remains, however, the vastly
greater .problem of moving this year's
uMietff .civ ut variously estimated at
110,000.000 to 135,000,000 bushels of the
great milling and export centers.
Hankers are vitally eonoomed in the
wheat movement problem. According
to ,T. It. Anppaugh, secretary of the
Kansas State Bankers' "association
bankers have $05,000,000 tied up 111
loans on crops which await marketing.
Many of these loans are long overdue,
and the prospects tfre that the amount
involved in crop loans will easily reach
$100,000,000 with tlie Ripening of the
present wbeat crop.
Some belief has been obtained, Mr.
Anspaugli said,, from the recent an-<
?iiouncment of the Federal Reserve
Board that it favored extension of crop
loans, and the fact that Federal Re
serve banks had been authorized to
accept wheat paper from member banks
or from other banks ^through corres
pondents. ~
Senator Dial on Saturday wrote the
fdMowhig letter to the interstate "Com

today tliat tihere are miles of coal cars
in and around Philadelphia loaded with
coal held *>y speculators, I consider
this simply an outrage and strongly
urge and beg you to have these cars
unloaded so they can be put back In
use. I do not know iall the power that
you have, but sell the coal or do what

The defeat of Senator Gore for re
nomination from Oklahoma is a circum
stance that had been anticipated by
those who had been watching the course
of political, levents. Unquestionably
?his retirement Is in consequence of his
record In Congress in war and recon
struction. Mr. Gore in later years man
ifested a degree of unstabMty that
practically wrecked his prestige. Orig
inally a Populist, ho was elected as
a Democrat and for a long time fel
lowshipped consistently with the mem
bers of thafr'party. In later years his
record of votes covered almost all po-;
sltlons a Senator could take. It might
be called a record of eccentricities.
Opre had a strong sympathetic hold an
the sentiments of the people and ? was
one of the most popular figures In the
-political campaigns ? In Oklahoma.
Blections by large? even overwhelming
? majorities characterized his successes
and at times there was no opposition
