Wheat yield drops statewide in 1931 crop
Wheat conditions on April 1 dropped to 64 percent of normal, the weakest since 1925. Abandonment reached about 20 percent, with severe winter damage and March freezes hit western Kansas hardest. Production prospects vary by region, with western counties the poorest and central areas more favorable though damaged. Farm stocks, wages, and rents changed sharply, while a baseball game schedule for Haskell and Kansas was updated to play at Haskell on Monday and at Kansas Wednesday.

Supreme Court Reverses Ruling in Dickinson v Lodge Case
The Kansas Supreme Court reversed a Douglas County ruling in a suit by Glen W Dickinson of Lawrence seeking 335,60? and interest from Lawrence Lodge No 4 IOOF. Remanding, the court instructs reinstatement of a pleading stricken by the defense. The dispute stems from plans for a new theater at Ninth and Vermont Streets and the Lodge lease with Midland Theater and Realty Co. Dickinson bought the lease December 11 1926 for 9 000 and claims damages for loss of lease value and fees. The Lodge contends the suit aims to block the theater, and alleged Dickinson warned officers not to erect the building if another theater would be built. The trial court refused to recognize the Lodge before the Supreme Court.
