During the time when meteorites were
being found most often in Kiowa county,
the farmers plowed their land deep and
often. They Illustrated the old fable Of
the poor man who prayed to the genii to
show him the road to riches. In answer
to his prayer the command to dig for the
gold that was buried under his farm
was given. Digging deep, and planting
incidentally while searching for the gold,
brought the riches he sought-from the
markets. So the search for meteorites
has, in one form or another, brought
prosperity to the Imaginative Kansas

brought together an unusual collection of
meteoric stones that have fallen in Kan
sas Some of them have historic as
we'll as scientific interest: The finding
of more than one Of the lot has saved a
farmer from the man who held the mort

meteor hunting BECAME the popular pas
time among the Kiowa county farmers,
stones romantic stories of their discovery.
1t was in 1890 that the attention of DR..
Snow was called to the existence of a
collection Of meteoric stones in the hands
of a farmer named Kimberly. Some years
before a shower of the stones had fallen.
The cowboys knew where many of them
were, and, knowing nothing of their
value, readily told the farmer. Mrs. Kim
berly, in the course. of her reading
learned that meteorites were valuable.
Her husband was skeptical and traded
his collection, one by one. for whatever
a neighbor would give. The wife
promptly bought the stones and kept
them When DR.. Snow heard of the
Kimberly hoard he bought 1t, paying q
price large enough to- lift the mortgage
from the Kiowa county farm.
The Kansas collector bought for $500 a
21S-pound stone that had been placed on
exhibition by farmer in country gro

the owner and DR.. Snow drove to the
store When they arrived telegram
