51 WHEATFALIG TOCHEER RASERS Farmers, Without Grain to| Sell, Bewail Having to Pay Price. By the Assoclated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., September 20— Dollar wheat—once the dream of the ' prairie planter—is here, but it brings only irowns of disappointment to Kansas farmers these days. # “What good does it do us? We haven't any wheat to sell” was the comment that greeted the recent ad- vance to $1 a bushel. “More farmers in the western half of Kansas will buy than will sell wheat this Fall and Winter,” pre- dicted Carl C. Cogswell, master of the | Kansas Grange. “Dollar wheat is not arousing much enthusiasm.” { Seed Importation Expected. Relief officials estimated 1,500.000 bushels of wheat will have to be shipped into Kansas for Fall seeding, and Gov. Alf M. Landon predicted 13.000 to 17,000 farmers will have to ask Government aid to purchase seed wheat if they are to plant the crop This year's harvest was estimated at 57.000,000 bushels by J. C. Mohler, secretary of the Kansas Board of A; riculture. This compares with a nor- mal crop of 160,000,000 and a record harvest of 240,000,000 bushels. The drought. and the Federal wheat Acreage reduction program are blamed. Drought Chief Factor. The drought complicated by last 1 Spring's severe dust storms, was the chief factor, these officials agreed. Of the total crop, they estimated only 35,000,000 bushels actually found Slaying Figures SON CONVICTS MOTHER AS FATHER'S KILLER, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘D. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1935.

CHUNGKING, China, September 20.—Consternation and despair among tae incredulous people of Szechuen | | Province today followed Gen. Chiang | Kai-Shek's withdrawal of the pro- vince’s bank notes at a 20 per cent | discount. Until today the public had regarded the generalissimo’s orders as a rumor, but the accomplished fact precipitated a virtual financial panic as banks and otHer financial houses closed pending settlement of the situation. Thousands of traders and mer- chants found themselves in possession of provincial currency, which now is outlawed except under the one-fifth depreciation. Metal money virtually disappeared overnight and it is difficult even to obtain coppers for postage stamps or sinrikishe fares. A majority of firms have threatened to declare bankruptcy and force the government to take over the losses resulting from the currency with- drawal. Representatives of banks and merchants are streaming to Chengtu to plead with Gen. Chiang to with- draw his orders. | | Birds Susceptible to Disease. | Birds are more susceptible to con- ! tagious diseases than mammals. back to schools and col shoes . . where else . . . mode: brier sports toggery ..
