MRS. EDNA LEE TAYLOR
RR 1, BOX 129
WOODSTON, KANSAS 67675
!Lislie, as a youngster had plenty of chores, milking cows, feeding livestock,
and helping in the fields. They raised Sugar Beets, Oats and Wheat.
!After finishing his senior year in school, Leslie passed the "Normal School
test", and became a teacher. He taught school in both Ness and Hodgeman CO,
and farmed part time, with his father on the family farm in Stockton.
!Les & Wilma were married, by a former High School teacher, called "Preacher
Farr." Preacher Farr, had told Leslie that when he found a Bride, he should
come to Kansas City, and he would marry them.
!Leslie did not participate in WWII, because he was classified 4F. He did
however continue to Teach through the 1948-49 term, when he retired from
teaching and worked in the Ness City Bowling Alley, in addition to part-time
farming.
!In 1950, when his father retired from the farm, Les accepted the opportunity
to farm full time on the family farm where he was born and raised.
!"Les" McFadden, was a man in demand. From 1938, to at least 1970 Les was a
Bureau Reporter (US Weather Bureau) for the FT Worth TX Office, and at times he
used equipment recording rainfall, barometric pressure, humidity and tempature.
!Today (1970) a rain gauge is the only equipment in service.
!Les, was very optimistic about the future of the farm business, noting that
freedom of operating decisions made farming superior to any other business. He
believed in Co-Operative marketing, but "did not believe that withholding would
sove surplus problems". He also felt that more farmer's, would rent equipment
in the future.
!Leslie McFadden, was very active in The Farm Bureau with activities including
Membership on the board of directors 1962-66, served on State Program, of Work
Committee 1967-68 and at the County Level was been active in Membership, Policy
Development, Market Development, Public Relations and Saftey.
!Les was a Trustee and Sunday School Teacher at the First Baptist Church of
Bazine, a member of the board of directors of the Dodge City Co-Operative
Exchange, Vice President of The Central Kansas Electric Co-Operative, a
Precinct Committeeman, a Soil Conservation board member, a Director of The
Pawnee Valley Irrigation Association, and a past Vice President of The Kansas
Irrigators and Reclamation Association.
!Les McFadden, was nominated in 1970 for "Farm Bureau Leader of the year", by
the Ness County Farm Bureau. Mr. McFadden, had been a Pioneer Seed Dealer for
12 years. The McFadden Farm, was 530 acres of Pawnee Valley farm land, 300 of
which was irrigated. Three wells on the place, were each able to pump 2,000
gallons of water a minute.
!Crops produced on this farm was grain and forage for livestock feeders. Milo,
Corn, Wheat and Alfalfa were the principal crops.
