Kaw Valley Spud Tour Inspects Demonstrations Near Lawrence
The Douglas county segment of the Kaw Valley potato tour gathered about 350 for a noon program and picnic at the W. R. Stiner farm, with 125+ men inspecting five demonstrations. Speakers from Kansas State Agricultural College highlighted improved farming methods and crop effects, while 4-H clubs showcased seed selection and grading. The tour, moving from L. M. Walters to J. H. Corel and Roscoe Pine farms, compared seed treatments, spindle tuber tests, and fertilizer trials, before heading to Leavenworth county and Shawnee next. Visitors from Minnesota and Nebraska joined local growers and Lawrence businessmen at the events and the group voted to repeat the picnic next year.
