Palmer family letter from Burns Kansas describes farm life
In a June 17 1909 letter from Burns Kansas Mrs D M Palmer writes to Aunt Fannie McDowell about a busy spring and promising crops. She notes corn oats and alfalfa prospects, a nonlevel but similar landscape to Iowa, abundant fruit despite late frost, 400 chickens with plans for 400 more, and incuba tors as their hatching method. She praises the community and Christian neighbors and mentions family members in farming and schooling.

Senator Warren of Wyoming clarifies he is not an outright livestock owner, while wealth from ranches is held in corporations. A massive steel vault protects emergency currency under the Aldrich Vreeland act, with intricate security features. Taft frets over the pure food law’s scope and debates on benzoate of soda as a preservative.
