WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
KANSAS



The Kansas poster put out by the
Union Pacific railroad is calculated to
inform the general public regarding
the state in language which cannot
be misconstrued, according to J. c.
Mohler, secretary of agriculture IF
Secretary Moh1er has ever overlooked
anything of cedit to Kansas, it would
seem that this summary has located
it. The poster advertises the Jay
hawl1er commonwealth as follows:
Kansas, the "Sunflower State" was
admitted to the Union on January %,
1861, as the thirty-fourth state.
The state flower is the sunf1ower.
Kansas is divided into 1O4 counties
containing 82,12S square miles, So
572,16O acres, 100000 acres of
which are under cultivation for agri-
cultural purposes and 100000 acres
additional being in pastures for use
in the great Matchmaking industry of
the state.
Has had prohibition since 1880 and
was the first state to adopt a tsbone
dry" law.
First among all states in the pro-
duction of wheat, alfalfa and the
sorghums.
In 1914 produced the worlds record
p,
production of the two states ranking
next; exceeding by 1900, 900 bushels
the production of Canada and equall-
| ing one-ffth of the entire crop raised
| in the United States in the same
| year.
| Three million acres devoted to the
sorghums in 1917Lthe largest acre
age ever devoted to these in any
state.
/ First in the production of apple
seedlings. One Kansas man raises
more seedlings than any other man in
the world.
i Value of farm products in Kansas
in 1917, $5O7, 225,OOO or $131, 900 ,OOO
greater than in any previous year.
Kansas has the following minerals
which are mined in quantities: Coal
zinc, lead, natural gas, petroleum
cement, gypsum and salt
Has more than 200 coal mines and
ranks sixth in the production of bit
luminous coal; Eastern coal states
only, surprising it in quantity mined
Fourth in natural gas; Pennsyl
; vania, West Virginia and Ohio, only
exceeding it in production
II In the Butler county, Kansas, OF
fields are some of the largest produc
ing wells in the world.
In salt production Kansas rank.

Lead and zinc mining is a growing
industry in southeastern Kansas.

distribution and high ideals MAKE

the center Of permanent agriculture
and rural civilization.
