INCREASED USE OF WHEAT SEEN

TOPEKA. Kara, April S-Within two decades the United States will need its present volume of wheat production for domestic use, C. Mor- an predicts in the April issue of Coppers firmer. agricultural maga- zine.

He bases the forecast in an arti- cle entitled "Tomorrows Agricul- ture" on the growth cf population, in which he sees no decline before 1060.

"Ten years from now." Moran

says, "there will be 15.000000 more people to be fed in the United States. and an additional domestic market for 75,000,000 bushels of wheat by reason of poplllltlvn growth. "Demand for nearly 1,000,000 ex- tra bales of cotton in addition to an increase in consumption result- ing from new uses for cotton will develop. There will be correspond- ing increases in the total home con- sumption of meats, fruits, vegetables and other farm commodities."

The ‘increasing demand for farm products will lead to Iflltly im-

B, April 9—After prolonged litigation. damages amounting to $7,500 have been awarded by Edward Girouard, a Zifostcr of the Supreme Court, in the case oi‘ Pmkes Limited, versus L H. Higgins an action for the recov- ery of damages arising from losses sustained in an explosion. which partially wrecked the store occupied by the plaintiff in a building owned by the defendant at the corner of Main and Boisford streets, in the fall of 1028. The case was tried in the circiit court on two occasions, the verdict for the plaintiff in the first having been appealed and a new trial ordered. Owing to the prominence of the parties and the lengthy and involved litigation the case ilns attracted more than ordin- .'Li'y attention.
