Mrs Whiteemore also described Prof
Hewett's wonderful home, which is
also built in the native style, and
which contains art treasures from all
over the world. Its furniture was
made at Santa Fe and was designed
by a Mr.. Nordfelt, master craftsman
of the art colony. At the close of the
San Diego Exposition, Professor Hew-
EFT secured the casts and fac SMILES
Of Aztec and Magyar carved stone
work on display at that exposition,
and these are Embedded in the walls
of many of the rooms of his home,
producing, according to Mrs. White
more a most striking and artistic ef-

Another remarkable home the Whit
temores visited was that of the artist,
Carlos Vierra near Santa Fe. It is
located in an old Spanish monastery
down, and which its present owner
was enabled to purchase for a small
sum of money, because the original
owners thought the buildings were
about to fall down. Mr.. Vierra re-
vamped and remodelled the old build
ing and 1t now stands a wonderful
combination of primitive simplicity
and modern elegance.
The Whittemores visited several
Indian pueblos, the most interesting
of which, they considered the Pueblo
of Pecos. Archeologists think that
this town has existed since the begin

is now deserted and in ruins. 1t be-

Kansas Corn Growers Have
Successful Year, Reports Show.
Figures Compiled by the United
State Crop Reporter.

The prosperity and financial soli-
darity of the Kansas farmer. when he
is compared with. brother agricultur-
lists in other states, is approached
from a new angle in figures which
have been compiled from the United
states Crop Reporter for December,
1921
A state that leads In total produc-
ton of a given crop is not necessarily
the state in. which that crop is most
profitable. For instances. Kansas is
not considered a corn state, and yet
Kansas corn growers make a greater
return on labor and investment, in
growing corn, than do the growers in
any of the three corn states.
In the following table the average
per cent of return on the investment
in land devoted to the growing of
fourteen different crops, in Kansas
and in the three states which lead in
the production of these crops, is
shown.

Percent on Investment
Good Returns in Kansas

This table indicates very sa.isfac-
tory returns on Investment by Kansas
farmers in comparison with other
states.
All expenses of crop growing in
Kansas are comparatively low accord
ing to the United States census fog
1920. Kansas land averaged only
S62.3G an acre in value; the average
was S69.3S in the United States. Kan
sas used only 8 cents worth of COM
mercial fertilizer per acre Of improved
land, while the average for the United
States was cents per acre. Hired
labor cost only $2.2O an acre of i'm
proved land in Kansas. while it cost
vestment in implements and machin-
cry in Kansas was only $500 per acre
of improved land. while in the United
States II was STA.
Thus in the United States land IS 10
per cent higher than in a Kansas: cost
OF commercial fertilizer is over twenty
times as great; hired labor is nearly &
fourth greater per acre; the invest
ment in machinery per acre is 40 per
cent greater
More Livestock in Kansas
The Kansas farmer owns SIS per
cent more live-tock per farm than the
average for the United States. While
he owns g per cent more implements
per farm, his investment per acre of
improvd land is S2OS less than the
average for the United States.
Kansas always ranks among the
top-notchers in the total value of its
crops. In 1921 Kansas ranked sew
enth in aggregate crop values; in 1870
it was 9Th; in 1919 it was 5th-

Still others give concerts charging ad-

Kansas Free Fair. 1t must be borne
in mind that it will cost some of the
bands $500 or $500 to make the trip.
This speaks in glowing terms of their
interest in this exceedingly valuable
feature provided by the Kansas Free
Fair.
The contest. will be held Tuesday
afternoon during the races. We have

number. There will be three judges
who will base their awards on salts

lected by the band.
This feature is going to make the
races a greater success in point OF
keeping a novel feature before the
public between all heats.
A number of these bands have al
ready volunteered to play free con-
certs during the day anywhere the
Kansas Free Fair management may
designate. They all seem to have pet
programs, the playing of which they
are confident will display their artis-
try to best advantage. This also con

without compensation.
