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.

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.

Buckwheat may be planted later than any similar crop, and often does well on old meadows or waste land that can be broken after the more exacting crops are planted.

One could drive a prairie schooner through any part of his argument and never scrape against a fact.

Rice at present prices provides more food for the money than most of the other cereals.

The duty of the individual farmer, at this time, is to increase his production, particularly of food crops.

Barley, where it succeeds, yields a larger weight of feed per acre than any other small grain crop.
