Orchids to TIME for your splendid article on Kansas Prohibition [TIME, Sept. 9]. . . . Kansas dry laws are as big a farce as Mississippi's Bilbo. In Wichita one can purchase a fifth of Schenley's, Seagram's, or even Old Granddad for only...
Potatoes à la Steamroller. Of some 25,000,000 bushels piled up so far, more than three-fourths were salvaged by distillers.

They got this enormous increase by adding some 127,066,629 proof gallons to their stocks through the purchase of small distillers. (The report did not note that the little companies often willingly took this golden opportunity to get a war-high price...
