I think the large salt "dome" under the ground here might have 
something to do with the high number here in KS.  The deposit
is big enough to warrant a large salt mining operation nearby in
Hutchinson. The mine is so big it is a tourist attraction with 
underground tours available.

I could be wrong but that much salt might be it....
