FREDERICK HENRY WOLF

"GOLDEN CEREAL FARM," the home of Frederick Henry and Lizzie Wagner Wolf, is
located five and one-half miles west from Great Bend, and is so named because
the soil has been proven to be so well adapted to growing the "golden cereal"
that has made the county so famous as a wheat grower. It contains four hundred
acres of as fertile soil as there is in Buffalo township, or in fact in the
whole of Kansas. It is improved with a story and a half frame residence with six
large airy rooms; a large 40x80 barn, granary and other outbuildings, and these
are so located that they show to the best advantage. The crops are corn, Kaffir
corn, wheat, alfalfa and native grasses, and is adapted to growing these and
other crops and the breeding of horses, mules, cattle, hogs and poultry. Stock
and poultry are bred to a limited extent, but wheat—the staple crop of this
section—is king of this farm and covers the major portion of the fields. Corn
and wheat are the crops most grown in Illinois, where Mr. Wolf grew to manhood,
and it was natural that he should attempt them here where they grow best of all
crops, and with less labor than most. The fields, however, show the constant
effort of an industrious husbandman, and the granaries that his labor has been
rewarded.
