Road Ultimatum Comes to Kansas
Topeka, Kans, Oct. 25. Kansas learns no more federal aid projects will be approved after June 30, 1929 until state funds are arranged to match federal aid under the federal aid highway act. The Bureau of Public Roads requires state control of funds and prohibits use of county or local funds without state initiation. Special attention will be paid to projects that speed interstate road completion and use remaining funds for adequate traffic capacity.

The author reflects on a trip east noting poorer conditions on eastern farms with deserted fields and scarce livestock, contrasting them with Kansas farms. He cites use of rock fences, fertilizer, and tractors in the midwest, arguing western farming is nearer to poverty’s abolition and praising Kansas as a prosperous state with ample food.

Wheat grading controversy alarms Kansas grain sector
The 1928 wheat grading standards set by the Chicago Board of Review face strong protests from Kansas grain dealers, elevators, and farmers. E. J. Smiley appeals to Dr. William Jardine for a hearing in Hutchinson or Wichita arguing that some No. 5 classifications are unjust to farmers while grain quality remains suitable for milling despite odor and dark kernels.
