n ARLY in the year 1910 Col. La
- Fayette Young. editor and pub
Usher of the Des Moines Capt.
tai, began writing a series of articles
on good roads urging that river to
river road be built between Daven-
port and Omaha and the work be
done in a single day. He convinced
enough people along the proposed
route to take hold OF it in earnest
and on the appointed day the farm
ers and business men turned ont in
great numbers all along the line anu
between sunup and shutdown a first
class earth road $50 miles long was
built and has been maintained since
that time in f1rst-class condition by
the drag at very small expense.
The idea of building long stretches
Of road in single day originated
with Col. Young. Since the river to
river road was completed similar
projects have been carried out in
many sections of the United States
and Kansas was not slow to see the
exceptional advantages of adopting
such system of road construction.

KANSAS SEED IN GREAT DEMAND
Inquiries and orders Received BY
State Agricultural College From
Many States and Foreign
Countries.

Kansas has made q national repu-
tatien through its improved seed dis
tribution; in fact, this reputation is
worldwide. It actually appears that
the work done in Kansas along this
line is noted and talked about and
written about more outside of the
state than within its borders. In
quiries and orders for seed wheat and
seed corn have come to the expert
ment stations at Manhattan and Fort
Hays from all over the United States
and from several foreign countries
including Australia, South Africa, and
several of the countries of Europe
and South America. A year ago the
Kansas experiment station shipped
fifty bushels OF improved Turkey
wheat to the Transvaal government
OF South Africa. a BusheI of seed Of
each Of ten varieties of Kansas grown
eozn was shipped to the government
