Farming in Kansas is no longer a haplbaszard, uncertain occul>M7ioni,| gu¢\sswork has been eliminated; and it s now on a business plan as sftalile and welbestablished als that of the merchant or manufacturer. Success came because sought perse- vorinigly and intelligently. Arid the lesson learned was that Western ag- riculture had to be fitted _to Western conditions of soil and climate. Corn and wheat are and have been K1msas's principal soil pro- ducts but tho vital dfflerenea in the seeded to lt. Only two cultivated crops exceed it in area-wheat* and corn. Alfalfa is 3 perennial blessing to its growers. Besides its value dl a pasture and hay plant, yidlding its several cuttings each season for an indefinite number of years whether the season be wet or dry, it ‘ls es- teemed because of the improving el- fecta of ltls roots. It restores and enriches rather than deplebes the fer- tllity of the soil, to the benefit of succeeding crops. Kansana were among the first to estimate its worth 'correotly; and its widespread sowing a ioliiture ol today is in the oblong-limi iiicicagi-,,=i. inn; iiqsogieg me ti” at h e Areas seem more liable to fluctuate owing to outside influences. .As the highest type of agriculture, however, contemplates the conver- sion of the raw material on the farm where grown into the finished pro- duct, tho areas in other crops,doubt- loss, will be quite nicely adlustod to home needs in relation to alfalfa and in connection with live stock. This greater number of farms 'manufactur- lny plants also, where the corn and al alfa are turned into beef and other products. Thus in marketing - the manufactured article the farmer ro- ceivos two profits-the profits of the producer of the raw matorlnl and the will have the effect of making a drink.
