ouf reasons for bis keen Interest

"San Francisco la far more keen-

"Never beforo has your city at

fact that the east liffnlghty anxious

Falls adds to our own reaction.
"This part of the country, and it

holds a' charm for .tourists that
other sections lack. It is a tour

Bumper Crops of
Kansas Wheat Is
Car Short Risked
KANSAS CITY. Mo.. May 20.
(United News) With a wheat crop
estimated at between 360.000.000
and 41S.000.000 bushels this year a
freight car shortage faces the south
west which may cause tho most ser
ious transportation situation since
1922.
This conclusion was reached here
Thursday uy the executive commit
tee of the trans-Missouri-Kansas
regional shippers' advisory board
end officials ot the American Rail
way association, who met to con
alder the amount of transportation
required to move the crop.
There are two outstanding rea
sous tor the critical putlook. The
rirst is mat mere win do an in-1
ere... of from 1S5. to !45 million

Kansas Oop
Using every available source of
reliable Information the yield of
Kansas alc-ne will be from 170,
000.000 to 185.000.000 bushels.
Other states Included In the esti
mate are Oklahoma. Mlsiourl. Texas
and Colorado.
The second reason is a great
many freight cars are tied up in
the east. Grain hauling roads ot
this fectlon have not as many cars
on their own tracks as at this time
a year ago. The board pointed
out that If the wheat was to be
moved from the harvest a great
many cars must he brought here
from the east. The board estimat
ed that 380.000 cars may be nec
essary to meet all requirements.
Another meeting Is scheduled for
June 16. at which time reports j
will be heard from representatives:
of virtually every road In this sec
tion, regarding the number of cars.
It will have available for moving1
