In Kansas City, the 1978 American Royal unfolds as a vivid blend of cattle, horses, lambs, and buzz of spectators. 4-H Willing Workers members attend with families, pursuing education from the royal experience, rodeo acts, and a tour that highlights judging, public tickets, and prize-winning animals.
Youngsters enjoyed a hat trick act where a clown lofted and retrieved a hat without it touching the ground, a bird in the hat tied to the stunt, and a second clown shot the hat. They also saw Hercules the Giant Horse and rode the bucking barrel. Franklin County 4 H Agent Jo Ellen Arnold accompanied the group.
Kansas faces a dry fall prompting homeowners to water young trees and shrubs deeply now. Extension horticulturist Gus van der Hoeven urges soaking and bedding in the moisture, digging a small trench around trunks, and applying mulch to conserve water for spring growth. He notes roots stay active in winter and need water even as foliage drops. Evergreen trees also require attention despite a healthy winter appearance.
Kansas State University economist John Schlender outlines legitimate methods to lower tax liability for farmers. Use optional first year depreciation and rapid depreciation for eligible assets, file form 2468 for investment credits, and consider income averaging or installment sales to spread gains. Maintain thorough records to claim credits and deductions after drought or drought-related losses.
The schedule for the remaining three days of the American Royal lists events at Kemper Arena and the Royal Building, with showtimes from 1 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. daily and admission from four to six fifty. Notable attractions include UPHA Challenge Cup Finals, hunter classes, and breed judging for Poland China, Duroc, Brahma, Brangus, and Yorkshire. Robert Strauss will keynote Kansas Farm Bureau's 60th annual meeting at the Topeka Ramada Inn with other speakers and policy discussions.
