Front: Rich with alfalfa, corn and wheat, Gleaned form Nature's richest dower - Peerless Kansas on the Plains - Even the sun has kissed our flower.

Back: Kansas City, Kans., Sept. 15, 1915. My dear Farmer Friends: - I just want to say to you that The State Board of Agriculture and the State Grain Inspection Department are intensely interested in your success and welfare and the continued up building of one of our greatest agricultural and live stock states. People generally realize and appreciate the fact that much credit is due that Kansas farmer for the great achievements of our state. This is evidenced by the fact that the name "Farmer" attached to any Kansas enterprise now certifies as to its stability. We ask you to co-operate with us in building up these departments to the highest standard efficiency, that we may merit the respect and confidence of other states as well as our own. Yours sincerely, GEO. B. ROSS, Pres. State Board of Agriculture, State Grain Inspector. | Handwritten: O. H Harkreader, Arcadia, Ks.
