leading variety of what seeded in Kan-

45.2 percent of the ttate' s wheat, Jagger
increased 2.4 points from a year ago
and was the most popular variety in
seven of the nine districts.

If you do roilold papers, no not use
any multicolor paper or magazines, he
adds. Plus, the chemicals in printed
materials may be harmful to the flue
when burned or may add to creosote
buildup. Newspaper logs should be as
dry as wood for burning. Keeping them
dry means giving them more protec-
tion from the weather than wood.
"When they get wet, getting news-
papers dry enough to burn may not be
so easy," Snead said. "
