Dickinson county a garden for crops and growth
A long promotional piece extols Dickinson county Kansas as a rich agricultural area. It highlights fertile black loam soil, ample water, prairie landscape with limited waste land, strong cattle and hogs, improving farms, growing rail and road facilities, and a budding city of Abilene with 6000 population, churches, schools, brick blocks, electric light, streetcar, and an inviting open welcome to new families to help build the “City of the Plains.”

The Industrious Farmer in Winter
A humorous Atchison Globe piece rebuts the idea farmers idle during blizzards. It chronicles a day in the life of a Kansas farmer from predawn chores to milking, feeding, and mending stock, then repeating the cycle. Local ads follow for money loans, harness, buggy purchases, and services.
