F. W. Atkeson Dies

F. W. ATKESON, 64, head of the Dept. of Dairy Husbandry, Kansas State College, Manhattan, died April 4, 1958, at Riley County Hospital.

Mr. Atkeson was injured in an automobile accident in September of 1957 and had been in failing health since. He had not been in his office since early February.

A native of Butler, Mo., he received his B.S. in agriculture from the Univ. of Missouri, Columbia, in 1918 and his M.S. from Kansas State College in 1929. He was an assistant in the Kansas State Dairy Dept. from 1918 to 1920, a field representative for the American Jersey Cattle Club from 1920 to 1921, and professor of dairy husbandry and head of the department at the Univ. of Idaho, Moscow, from 1921 to 1935. In 1935 he returned to Kansas State as head of the Dairy Dept.

Mr. Atkeson was honored recently by friends in the feed industry, who established the Atkeson Loan Fund to recognize his work as chairman of the Kansas Formula Feed Conference for many years.
