[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] May 29 [[/underlined]]. Reached Kansas City at 7:30 a.m. Vegetation & crops not noticably diffrent from that of [[strikethrough]] the whole [[/strikethrough]] yesterday. Left Kansas City at 9:55 a.m. on Rock Island for El Paso. To Topeka the country does not change much but the rich soiled bottom lands give a rich growth to the crops & vegetation not seen before. The rows of corn are slightly more conspicuous than usual but it is rarely 2 inches high. Wheat & oats are thrifty but low. Some winter rye is headed out & a few fields of barley begin to show heads. There are lots of good orchards and fine farms & homes. At McPherson the country grows more open & plains like but crops are still good and about the same for condition Lots of Jack rabbits (L. melanotis) seen after passing McPherson, as many as 7 in one hollow near Pratt.
