KANSAS CROPS BEAT RECORD
State Board of Agriculture Issues
Final report on Agricultural
Productssand Live Stock.

The State Board Of Agriculture has
issued it's final inventory Of agricui-
turaI productions and live stock IN
Kansas for 1920, as follows:
Productions and Values: In total
volume of production this years re-
turns from Kansas farms eclipse all
former records. In aggregate value,
however, the year 1920 stands second,
having been exceeded in 1919. The
value of all farm products this year
exclusive OF live stock on hand
amounts to $685., 17O,341 as against
S746, ,135 for 1919. Live stock on
the farms as of March is estimated
as worth $685., 258,870 compared to
$40, 499, 400 in 1919, and is the low
est since 1914.
There are three outstanding fea-
lures of Kansas agriculture this year,
record production, radical reduction in
prices for most, commodities, and the
conspicuous showing Of the dairy and
poultry Industries, whose products, Of
all other items entering into the years
inventory, commanded high prices.
Notwithstanding the drop in the
markets, increased yields have result
ed in record aggregate values for the
states oats and barley crops, while
the following crops of this year are
the most valuable, wheat, corn and
potatoes. Among the yearly yields of
alfalfa, this years production ranks
fourth in value
Live Stock Products: Animals
slaughtered or sold for slaughter
worth approximately 100000,
ranks third, having been exceeded in
both the years 1919 and 1918. Dairy
products and poultry and eggs attain
ed record values, the surplus of poul-
try and eggs sold amounting to $780,
$4,000 as against ST., 883, 900 last year,
while the single item of butter repre-
sents a value Of $28, 698, 900 as against
$22,901 900 in 1919. Through the years
figures on the dairy and poultry in
dustries CLEAN the cheering rays Of
optimism, disclosing again the unde-
as reliable sources of income.
Live Stock: There has been a
marked falling off in numbers OF ali
livestock in the year ending March
1, 1920, except for sheep, the 100000
head on hand at that date being the
largest since 1911, when 327 900 were
reported. The horse population is less
than year ago, other cattle less than
any year since 1915, while swine are
less than for any year in the history
OF the state, save one. Further indi-
cations of the unfavorable live stock
situation are found in the decreased
values of all live stock, horses show
ing an average reduction in value per
head of So, mules $14, milk cows 81,
other cattle 81, sheep 1915 and swine

Miss Katherine Morrison, teacher Of
mechanical arts at the Kansas State
Normal Training School, recently
brought an exhibit of toys into the
class room, made by a 16-year-old boy.
The toys were perfect in every detail
They were working models of wind
mills, farm trucks, disc plows, air
planes, tractors, silos and implements
used on a farm. The toys were made
with hammer, saw and jackknife
The boy is Harold Hooker, who lives
on a farm in Burlington Frail and
sick, with heart disease, the little boy
is unable to attend school, and while
mis- playmates are in the little school
house up the road, he is alone in his
fathers big barn, making ingenious
tools, building furniture models, and
even making toy houses and barns.
The remarkable thing about the boys
toys is their mechanical accuracy.
