I remember -that in the earlier history of Kansas our State board of agriculture published a large volume every year in which maps of our counties were given. the county seats were located. the townships and principal towns and the railroads andstreams were all given on beautifully .colored maps. Those works were almost wholly. I might say wholly. for advertising purposes. The railway companies came to our assistance and spread broadcast advertising literature throughoit.all the nations of the world from which it would be likely that emigrants wouldcome tous. Inthe last report. recently published. I discover. very much to the credit of the secretary and the board. that the policy has been changed. and the secretary takes occasion in the opening to call attention to -the fact that he is now proceedingto look after the interests of agriculture and not so much to advertising.
