Has More Electric Motors Than Any
Other County

In addition to the automobiles
trucks, tractors and motorcycles 81
the farms of Kansas, the reports OF
the State Board of Agriculture show
that 1862 per cent of the farms are
equipped with gas, oil or steam en-
\ gines or electric motors to tighten
& farm work and speed 1t up. OF
these, 1888 are either gas or oil
engines, 1,7SS are operated by steam
and 1,463 are eletcric motors. Gas
and oil engines are almost as num-
erous in Kansas as tractors and are
found principally in the central and
northeastern counties. All Of the %
counties reporting more than 800 gas
or oil engines are in this part Of the
state and they have 40 per cent Of
the states total. The leading coun-
ty in point of numbers Is Marion. In
central Kansas which reports 675 OF
these labor-savers, followed by
Washington, 635, Mcpherson, 627
and Reno 815. Seward county in
the southwest, reports the smallest
number Of gas engines on farms,
three. Dickinson county has 541
tractors, $50 gas or oil engines and
"a steam engines.
Electric motors for farm power
are principally in the territory ira
yesed by electric transmission lines.
This is especially true through the
Solomon and Smoky River Valleys
and is noticeable also along the Ar
kansas. Dickinson county is the
leader in the number Of electric
motors, reporting 70 while McPher-
son is a close second with 70 and
Saline, third, with total of "a. In
Reno, Pawnee, Stafford and Finney
counties, electric motors are also
gaining in popularity and future
development Of this kind Of power
seems assured.

violation Of this provision have been

G. Engle by farmers living along
Turkey creek. They say boys in

skunks. mink, 'possum, racoon and

violations must stop or arrests will
be made. He points out that the law
also provides that no smoke guns or
poison may be used in destroying the
animals and that only steel traps are
permitted for trapping them. This
law, however, does not prohibit
farmers from killing animals which
make raids on their hen coop or hurt
the stock.
