The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway will send its first annual
Dairy Train out in the western part
of the state beginning October 81. This
! train is composed of one baggage car,
two day coaches and a business car. 1t
will be conducted by the Santa Fe N
connection with the instruction staff
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
| lege.
The purposes of the train are purely
a matter of more profit and of diversi-
/ tying the interests of western Kansas
and of making more certain the finan-
| cial returns of the farmer The west
ern Kansas farms have long depended
| solely upon wheat When wheat fal's
the farmers are poor and the mer-
| chants are poor If it is possible to get
| men to growing more grasses and
| building silos and owning more and
better cows it will make more certain
the wealth of the farm and of the mer-
| chant and of the railroad. The wheat
| farmer sells all of the fertility and the
land is year by year growing poorer.
| The dairy farmer by proper manage
ment can place back in the land
| through grasses and clovers and the
| farm manures practically all of the
fertility his crops take out of the land
and his farm will grow richer year by
year.
Other purposes are:
| / Need of farm dairying for moro
| regular and more certain income to
avoid the frequent calamitous condi-
| tions that have been peculiar to west
| ern Kansas.
2 Need of dairying as a means Of
| comfortable incomes from small farms
and the economic need of small farms
| in Kansas.
g. The breeding up of better COWS for
dairy purposes. The necessity for test
ing and wedding out inferior cows; for
the introduction of dairy sires into
| every community.
4. The need of growing better feeds
for dairy COWS, alfalfa, COW peas, and
the improving Of pastures
5. To call special attention to the
| danger that has always been present
in Kansas. especially in western Kan
sas, of a farmer having IAN his eggs in
one basket and incidentally to recon-
mend a more diversified farming,
I necessary with dairying.
