RIPENING IS PREMATURE Straw Is Short and Much of Har vesting Will Be Done With Aid of Headers Coburn Makes Report on Conditions. TOPEKA. Kan.. June 10. (Special.) "Wheat and oats are made," is the report coming to th Kansas w earner Bureau from every section of th state. What th result will be can only b told when the threshing machines fin ish their work. s.rretarv Coburn. cf the State Boara of Agriculture, never makes items on growing crops; his work deals merely with conditions. But there are many wheatgrowcrs and elevator men who ..min. the fluids and compare the conditions with other years and esti mate the probable total yield. The majority of reports and estimates of the so-called experts who have viewed the wheat belt for Eastern boards of trade from a cushioned seat In passen ger train traveling at the rat of 80 mil's an hour agree that ths total wheat vield in Kansas this year will not be much above 60.000.000 bushels. The dry weather of Spring ana the hot wave the last two weeka hav cut the straw short and prematurely ripened the wheat. . Generally headers . in he naeit In harvesting this grain. The fact that Kansas, years ago, at tained first place and world-wide fame as a producer of wheat tended to Ah.our. fn. these not-keenlT observ ant the state's preeminent position in corn production. Naturally people con cluded that such a bulk of wheat must be by far th most . important crop Kansas farmers raise. Statistics expose this fallacy and reveal that compared In lwnnrl,ni, . n A VSlllS wi th llAt COFll. wheat, notwithstanding its bulk and the interest manifested In the early Spring aa to Its condition and pros pects Is a side Issue. The value of wheat axown on Kan sas farms In two or three seasons out nt these nast IS has exceeded that of corn, but the grand total during the last 20 years puts corn far in tne leaa. Corn Is the dependable crop in Kan sas. In 1908 its value to the state was 20.000,000 greater than that of wheat. In former years this rate has been m.int.fnoH in 190Z the corn value of the state exceeded that of wheat nearly Ifty million. It was worth more tnan f nnn linn more than all other Droducts nf the soil that rear. In two preceding seasons corn outvalued all other field products, wheat Included. The unfavorable condition of wheat this year brings these facts home to the farmers. Hundreds of fields have been planted the third time. The farm ers look hopefully for a big corn crop -hen the wheat yieia is snort, lor iney now that its value will even up tiling. This thouaht caused many farmers to plow up fields of wheat where the stand was thin on the rronnd and Dlant corn in Its place. Many admit now that they made a mis take In doing so. for owing to drought the corn outlook Is unfavorable. 'WHEAT PIT KING" TXXOADS Liehstern Quietly Exchanges Cash for September Option.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10. (Spe cial.) "The Judgment of the' court Is that tbsse boys appear at the' lesgue ball game next Friday afternoon as my guests." This was the sentence Imposed to day by Superior Judge Graham, also president of the Pacific Coast League, on six frowsy-haired youngsters, who were taken before him on a juvenile charge. They had been arrested and taken before Judge Murasky In the Juvenile Court yesterday for sneaking Into Recreation Park and watching the games. Residents In the vicinity pf the park complained that the lads were breaking down fences and damaging property to climb over the high fence which incloses the ball grounds. All lined up before Judge Murasky yester day afternoon and the Juvenile Court judge heard the evidence against the youngsters and then listened to their stories. They all pleaded guilty, but in palliation of their offense they told the court through their . spokesman, Louis Macchia: "We ain't got no money to pry our way In, and we want to see the games. Judge Murasky was lenient with the youngsters and ordered thera to ap pear before Judge Graham this morn ing and likewise entered an order that Judge Graham should take the boys to the game on their solemn .promise that they would never again sneak into the park or damage property near the park.

Eleven deaths and 50 prostrations were reported today as the result of heat on the eve of a thunderstorm which is expected to "bring relief to the city tomorrow. The mercury went upward with a rush, but did not reach yester day's record mark by half a degree.

Casey, who settled in Chicago when the Indians were here. She was 80 years old and was a sister of Gen eral Robert W. Healy, U. S. A., and James T. Healy, former United States subtreasurer here. After a night that gave little relief, with the mercury standing at 83 de grees at midnight, Chicago was like an oven in the early hours today. Thousands of downtown workers, re leased by Saturday holiday precedent, flocked through the torrid canons be tween the loop office buildings at noon and hurried to the parks, the excursion steamers and caravansaries where are dispensed temporarily cqoling drinks. Laborers Are Prostrated. Other thousands, laborers, teamsters, settlement workers In the congested district, got through the afternoon's work as best they could. Here and there a teamster dropped senseless from his seat a pedestrian fell In his tracks. Police ambulances were kept busy caring for the prostrated.
