Kansas City is a prosperous
city of 200,000 inhabitants and a
great cattle center. I found the
stock yards quite interesting and
saw five cattle bring from $100
to $125 each. Eastern Kansas
is fina farming lands widely dif
ferent from thp western half
where there is nothing but bare
plains where the buffalo roamed
less than 40 years ago. For
hundreds of miles we see nothing
but prairie dog houses and the
hotvinds make it almdst un
bearable, For miles and miles
there are no trees, no rocks,
nothing but waste lands. .
