KANSAS LEADS IN ALFALFA.
Western State Grows 10000 Acres OF
Live Stock Rations.

Kansas is unique In many things,
but in none more than in the COM
handing position she occupies in re-,
lation to alfalfa growing. Her deyel-
opment in this industry has been one
of the marvels of her prolific agrlcul-
ture, and with alfalfa, as with winter
wheat, no other state Is her equal In
Its area and production. The alfalfa
field of Kansas now approximates
nearly three-quarters of million
acres. and but three cultivated crops
exceed 1t In annual area, viz: wheat,
corn and oats. In combination with
these alfalfa furnishes Kansans in
abundance with perhaps the best and
cheapest rations anywhere available
for the maintenance of their live stock,
for the excellence of which they are
famed. Kansans were among the fore
most correctly to estimate Its worth,
and It's widespread introduction In the
Sunfower state has been one of the
most important factors in Increasing
bank deposits and the per capita
wealth.
