Wheat acreage in eastern central Kansas may not be seeded
Topeka reports a large portion of planned 1939 harvest wheat in eastern and central Kansas will likely not be planted without more moisture. Army worms have destroyed extensive winter wheat in south central counties while southeast areas show excellent prospects. Subsoil moisture is higher than last year though topsoil remains very dry statewide with meager rainfall measured in Iola and Fort Scott. Livestock move to western counties to winter on wheat pasture and feed surplus rough seeds.

Treasury experts estimate about 635000 in income taxes on 1775000 in major prizes from the Cesarewitch sweepstakes race. If all prize money is taxable at minimum rates, 65000 would be taxed from each of seven 150000 winners on first place Contrevent, 20120 from each of seven 75000 winners on second place Dubonnet, and 9700 from each of four 50000 winners on third place Fet. Non winning ticket holders and consolation awards will also owe taxes.
