Today, from Boston bankers to Arizona cowboys, all America eats bread made of Kansas hard red winter wheat. Each year some 120,000,000 bushels are threshed here, and enough is ground to make about 47 loaves for every human being in the United States. Until Mennonites settled in Kansas in 1873, little wheat was grown. From Russia, however, these immigrants brought a new variety a red winter grain so hard that millers at first had trouble grinding it. Since that time, the best kinds of wheat grown here have come through selection or hybridization, from Turkey, or from other imports of Crimean wheat similar to Turkeys. Now agents of Soviet Russias government come here to buy seed of this improved wheat, taking it back after all these years to the regions it came from. To Kansas from Asia came white blossom sweet clover; from Manchuria the soybean. In fact, most plants of economic value in Kansas are from other lands. This is true of orchards, vegetable, and flower gardens, Few plants were introduced accidentally. Owned by Spain, Then France. From Spain to Kansas was a long way in 1541. Yet that year Coronado got here, seeking his fabled Seven Cities of Cibola., More Spaniards came later, but they left only faint footprints in the sands of Kansas time. After La Salle floated down the Mississippi and claimed its basin for Louis XIV, French trappers ranged all these Midwest streams. Bandied back and forth between n Spain and France, this was a when even Napoleon region in 1803 sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States. It included most of Kansas. Rightfully, we didnt get title to all of what is now Kansas till after the annexation of Texas, which, as a republic, had owned the southwest corner of it, the same comer that had been first Spanish and then Mexican. By this time a few whites were settling in east Kansas. From Missouri to New Mexico flowed that y stream of traders, steady, soldiers, teams, wagons, goods, furs, and treasure which was to make the Santa Fe trail one of the most romantic and spectacular caravan roads in all history. News that aroused the nation broke in Kansas in 1854, over the Kansas-Nebrasbill. This law set up the territories named, and said that when they were ready to join the Union each might say for itself, by popular vote, whether or not its citizens should hold slaves. Battleground of North and, South. Immediately Kansas became a battleground. From the North came colonists, sent by the New England Emigrant Aid company to vote for Some carried guns, free soil. Beecher Bibles because called paid for with funds raised by Henry Ward Beecher. Southern states raised funds and sent armed bands of settlers to vote ticket. Missourians the Border Ruffians dubbed g flocked over, to help the element. Murders, raids and house burnings continued for years.

Even after Kansas was admitted as a free state, in 1861, and after the Civil war ended, it was plagued for years by Indian raids, county-sefights, and bad men who rode up the great cow trails from Texas. Writers still argue as to whether Dodge City, in its wild days, was more wicked than Abilene. Scenes in the Oil Fields. Day and night, oil field bedlam, as at Russell field near Hays, fills the air with clatter and shouts. Big strikes quickly cover empty plains with new, unpainted pine shacks, tents, new stores, lumber yards, machine shops, auto camps, big piles of new pipe, walking beams of working pumps, black pools, frightful-looking dense smoke clouds from burning waste, long lines of tall steel derricks that march like big skeletons to far horizons. You see slangy waitresses at quick lunch counters; gnomelike electric welders, in ceaseless movement, wearing odd helmets that ward off heat and blinding torchlight; and crowds of men in overalls so greasy that they seem to have just been baptized by total immersion in the smelly black oil now pumped from the worlds deep, dark, greasy bowels oil that means more cash to Kansas than her boasted wheat crop. As you near McPherson, silvery domes of oil refineries glint in morning sun like mosques on a Babylonian plain. Heavy tank trucks, loade ed with gasoline, speed west for Denver. One of the newest scientific oilhunting methods is use of the which works more or less like the machines used by ships now to measure ocean depths. Wichita Is a Busy City. Wichita has one of the Wests finest airports, with airplane shops that build planes for our army and navy, and some for export. Supplanting its pioneer fires of buffalo chips, a gigantic factory here makes oil stoves and lamps that are sold to world's end. Tal flour mills pierce the skies, and. crowded stockyards, noisy with bawls, grunts, squeals, and bleats, g handle trainloads of animals. From all over the South buyers flock to Wichitas busy mule market. Missouri mockingbirds, they nickname these agile, shapely, but sterile hybrids, whose quick heels pack a lot of dynamite. Metropolis of this state is Kansas City, Kan. On the Missouri side: shops that sell boots, big sombreros, and horse gear; on the Kansas side: a big, busy town of mills, packing plants, soap factories and the fine homes of many who ride over to daily affairs in the big Missouri town across the river. Shaded by great modern buildings, in the heart of the Kansas city, is an old Indian burying ground, long a bone of contention between sentimentalists and municipal builders. In sheer size, colossal Santa Fe shops and offices easily dominate Topeka, almost obscuring even the statehouse. Brisk industries abound, ranging from meat products am flour to the printing and- meta ' trades. Curious among industries is one' which packs horse meat for export to France. Hub of the states highway system, served by four railways anc by ample water and power plants, Topeka is a good example of a mature American provincial city. Round, fecund earth knows no better corn land than east Kansas. Most corn is not sold for cash; it is turned into money through the alimentary canal of livestock, particularly pigs. echo-soundi- ' Uncle Phil Giant Sun Dials in Dodge City, Kansas.
