1947 Wheat Crop May Set New Kansas Record
H. L. Collins, federal-state agricultural statistician for Kansas, reported today that the Kansas wheat farmer—profitting from the second biggest yield in history this year—has reason to look forward to perhaps an even better harvest in 1947.
Topka. (UP)—The early season outlook for Kansas' winter wheat crop is comparable today to the situation 16 years ago when the nation's biggest wheat state was growing its largest crop of the golden grain.
The winter is ahead, of course, and it brings hazards for the crop—the possibility of an ice sheath to smother the wheat, of rapid alternate freezing and thawing, or extreme cold without a protective coating of snow.
But Mr. Collins pointed out that the crop "never has been destroyed by these factors alone." He added that "soil moisture is the biggest single factor at this time of the year and the actual moisture in the soil for plant growth is most encouraging."
Another item to broaden the Kansas wheat grower's grin is the price of his product. In 1931, wheat sold for only 28 cents a bushel at harvest time. Today wheat parity is $1.83—or six and a half times as much.
The wheat harvest in the summer of 1931 totalled 251 million bushels and the early season outlook the previous October was quite similar to what it is now.
157 Have Withdrawn From K.U. So Far
Withdrawals from the University total 157 so far this year, it was revealed in figures released by the office of James K. Hitt, registrar.
Two percent of the veterans have dropped out of school as compared with 1.5 percent for the non-vectors. During the period of the spring and summer semester, less than 5 percent of the veterans left school.
That figure compares with the average of more than 7 percent veteran withdrawals for other schools in the area, according to Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of the veterans' training bureau.
Robbert Sudlow, an instructor in the painting and drawing department, won the Morton May prize for painting at the sixth annual Missouri exhibition in St. Louis.
Sudlow Wins Art Prize At St. Louis Exhibition
Mr. Sudlow's painting will be on display in the St. Louis museum until Dec. 13. After Dec. 13, it will be on display in the Nelson Art gallery in Kansas City, Mo.
This annual exhibition is of paintings within a 50-mile radius of Missouri.
LAWRENCE SANITARY Milk and Ice Cream Co.
The ten buildings granted to K.U. recently will not be affected by the recent federal public housing authority ruling that it would not finance moving of surplus government buildings to local sites.
New Housing Rule Does Not Affect K.U.
These buildings are under the fedworks agency, which still may transport buildings.
The announcement will not affect the Sunnyside housing project either, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today. The contracts for Sunnyside were signed last January, and the new ruling probably will affect only pending contracts, he said.
Sigma Delta Chi To Meet
