corn united-states range
Corn is the leading food and feed crop of the United States in geographic range of production, acreage, and quantity of product. The vital importance of a large acreage of this crop, properly cared for, therefore, is obvious.
velvet beans crops
For the Gulf States, perhaps no forage crop of which the available seed supply is relatively abundant exceeds the velvet bean in potential value. This legume possesses also the ability to make a crop when planted relatively late.
agriculture important staples
It is obvious that the greatest and most important service that is required of our agriculture under existing conditions is an enlarged production of the staple food crops.
facts argument prairie
One could drive a prairie schooner through any part of his argument and never scrape against a fact.
important ease may
The ease with which barley may be substituted directly for wheat in human food and its usefulness to replace wheat milling by-products as feed in the production of the milk supply render its abundant production important.
individual crops increase
The duty of the individual farmer, at this time, is to increase his production, particularly of food crops.
light yield fields
The high food value of field beans and the shortage of supply due to the light yields of 1915 and 1916 render them of great importance in the regions to which they are adapted.
mean loss men
What this loss means will be appreciated from the statement that one bushel of wheat contains sufficient energy to support the average working man for 15 days.
country sweet animal
In the southern half of the country perhaps no crop has larger possibilities for quick increase of production of food for both men and animals than the sweet potato.
land yield corn
The older, thinner, and less productive grass lands, however, frequently can be made to produce much larger yields of feed in corn than if left, as they are, in unproductive grass.
yield weight acres
Barley, where it succeeds, yields a larger weight of feed per acre than any other small grain crop.

This is out of character. He's a good guy.
books brilliant bus high left restore school
I read his books back in high school and through college. I just always thought he was a fascinating and brilliant man. The story of the bus was always very compelling. To find out it had been just left to go - I really wanted to restore the bus and tell its story to the world.
