Investigations into incendiary fires occupy the Kansas state fire marshal’s office with confessions, arson charges, and inquests across several counties. A Kiowa County farmer admitted hiring two youths to burn wheat stacks to collect insurance, while a Mitchell County case involves a burned barn and $10,000 loss. A Smith County suspect faces arson charges for setting wheat stacks of his brother, with hearings set for October 26. In Douglas County a two day inquisition followed a suspicious fire, and eight deputies are reviewing other arson cases statewide. Meanwhile Pennsylvania reports apples exceeding 21 million bushels due to mild weather, up from 7 million last year.
