SUDDEN. WEALTH IN THE. .. . . KANSAS WHEAT BELT Topeka, Kans., Aug. 21—Stories of Sud- den wealtn in the Kasas wheat belt are numerous this year, due fo the unusual acreage of ‘“volunfeer wWheat” a crop grown from seeds which fall in the pre- vious harvesting. Officially ~estimated there was 1,500,000 acres of volunteer whea in Kansas this year, or about a sixth of the total harvested acreage. This wheat vielded probably 40,000,000 bushels or representing a monetary value of about $100,000,000. The total Kanisas crop of wheat is estimated officially at 150,000,000 bushes. The large acreage of Yolunteer wheat is due o the fact that a great deal of this acreage was deserted as wheat land by the owners, after last year's none to bountiful crop had been harvested. The 1919 acreage was in excess of 11- 000,000, by far the record for any state in the union. A wet fall caused \e gernels of wheat which had fallen to the ground during. the harvesting to germin- ate. Finding the “volunteer” crop making a ‘stand, farmers did not disturb the growth and, with ideal wheat growing weather this spring, the volunteer wheat made vields fully as bountiful as the Test of the crop. Innumerable stories’ of “deserted acre- ages,” producing $5,000 to $25,000 worth of wheat come from western Kansas where the bulk of the volunteer wheat was grown. Others tell of farmers who purchased farms this vear and paid for them with the returns of this year's wheat harvest. Illustrating the “sud- den wealth” general throughout the wes- tern Kansas counties, where land has been cheap and favorable seasons few and far between, a recent canvass of wheat vields in the vicinity of Oakley, a small town 60 miles east of the Colo- rado line, in Logan. county, showed at least 50 farmers whose Wheat crops this vear are worth more than $50.000 each; at least 25 have more than $1 000 of wheat each and every farmer has a good crop. Thirteen counties. most of them of northwest Kansas, this year are vielding 43.701,637 bushe's of wheat, according to the latest official estimate by the state board of agriculture.

The crop has been officially estimated at 140,000,000 bushels and the official forecasters now assert that the continued favorable weather means the vield will mount still highér™" The Kan- |sas weather bureau hers reported that it is the first year in its 33 vears exist- ence that Kansas had “bumper” wheat and corn crops the same vear.
