Letter From Doc Worrall Advises Kansas Home Keepers Away
A long-reader letter from Doc Worrall of Bellingham Washington to the Wichita Eagle describes travel in British Columbia and the Seattle area. He warns Kansas readers against leaving for the Northwest, citing thin soil shallow farmland, harsh timber country, high land prices, and tough farming prospects. He contrasts dry eastern valleys with the Sound country and notes high taxes, mosquitos, and timber growth. He also mentions local baseball teams, games, and a charity dance, ending with a sales pitch for Elks washing machines.
