Twenty Years of Kansas.

The Kansas ste te board of agricul-
ture has issued statistical report of
the states agricultural products during
the last twenty years. 1t is an exhibit
of which the whole country may well
be proud, for one does not have to be
very old to recall the fact that the ge-
ography of his school days set down a
large part of Kansas as ''the great Aer-
lban desert"
but in Kansas itself. the products mount
up to Sz,4SI, o6I.75I, an annual aver
age of S135, 1857. There are thirty
items in the list if winter and spring
wheat chased separately and all live
stock products be classed under one
head. Eleven of them are grain.
Corn is the greatest of these, with a
total of S742. 3SI,S25. Yet corn does
not much exceed in value the live stock
products, which show an aggregate
value of S7I6. 5eI,563. Next come
winter wheat, 1865. 7o2.7oe. Spring
wheat foots up only SI7.o5s.33r. The
total yield of wheat. both kinds.
was 6os, SIG. esI bushels. and of cor 4
a,ss5.as4.6s5 bushels. Oats make al.
most as large showing as wheat. with
5s4, 5er, s25 bushels. Rye shows only
xs 100. Asa bushels,
The great increase is in live stock.
Evidently the Kansas farmers are COM
ing gradually to appreciate the fact
that the more generally they turn corr
into beef and pork the larger will be
their profits. All through the western
cuntry this broad proposition holds true
The farmers of even Minnesota and the
Dakotas are finding that it pays to d.
versify their products, and giving their
attention more to cattle and less te
wheat. In Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Neb
raska and Missouri, where all kinds oil
grain can be raised to advantage, it il
still more important that the farm shouie
