Announcements 



THE articles following were written by 

 Mr. F. D. Coburn, Secretary of the 

 Kansas State Board of Agriculture, 

 who has revised and corrected the data herein 

 to embrace all of the year 1901. 



The reports of the Kansas State Board 

 of Agriculture are recognized the w^orld over 

 as authorities on the subjects treated thereby. 

 They are not issued to boom any particular 

 enterprise nor to misrepresent actual condi- 

 tions. Tales of failures are told as faithfully 

 and with the same absence of attempt at 

 word-painting as are the statements of the 

 State's unparalleled success. Their aim is 

 to faithfully depict conditions just as they 

 are — to tell the truth. For this reason the 

 articles that follow are commended to the 

 reader. Personal investigation will corrobo- 

 rate the statements of Mr. Coburn. If you 

 conclude to come to Kansas and settle, it is 

 believed the result will confirm the wisdom of 

 your choice.

 from the Kansas State Board of Agriculture
