[From the Kansas Farmer.]
Formed by the polyps of a shallow, summer sea; fixed by the subtile
chemistry of the air, and comminuted by the AEolian geology of the Great
Plains, the soil of Kansas has been one of man's richest possessions.
Why prose? The soil of Kansas, the Creator's masterpiece, invites to
song. Frinstance--
Formed by the polyps of a summer sea,
Fixed by the subtile chemistry of air,
Ground by AEolian geology,
The soil of Kansas is beyond compare!
