Combines Busy In County Wheat Fields
About 100 combines work in Conmiariche County harvesting wheat and oats as farm officials report a surplus pool of labor. Ted Krisher notes 20 to 30 daily applications, most from women travelers, with a roster of over 40 workers on call and directions to other southwest areas when local work is scarce. Yields range from five to 35 bushels per acre, with hail damage lowering some fields. Workers expect most harvesting to finish within two weeks. Ted Wilkerson will assist in county offices during the season.

Federal judge says he would have urged further probe in Missouri primary fraud
Kansas City federal Judge Albert Reeves testified before a Senate subcommittee that he probably would have urged a further investigation of alleged vote frauds in Missouri's Democratic primary if he had seen all FBI evidence. Other judges and the U S attorney supported that the FBI synopsis was incomplete. Kansas City prosecutors fear current state law weakens possible fraud convictions and urge a special law to permit more thorough procedures.
