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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The soy-bean, in particular, has proved sufficiently resistant to cold in spring and to adverse weather during summer to warrant heavy planting, especially throughout the South.

To write poetry and to commit suicide, apparently so contradictory, had really been the same, attempts at escape.

But say you do find the right people - how do you love them without smothering them?...How do you not suffocate them with all the love you've built up in their absence?

You have to move from just working for money to a world where money works for you.

That external struggle mirrors the struggle of this life force of energy that [princess Margaret] was.

To successfully open the door to heightened awareness, we must open it inward.
