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.

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.

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.

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.

Today's public education system is a failed monopoly: bureaucratic rigid and in unsteady control of dissatisfied captive markets.

Reformers have the idea that change can be achieved by brute sanity.

Duty is an icy shadow. It will freeze you. It cannot fill the heart's sanctuary.

Should l go on playing bridge and dining, going in the same old monotonous circle? It's easy that way, but it's a sort of suicide, too.

No matter what race we are, what ethnic background, sexual orientation, or what views we may have, we are all human. Unfortunately, not all humans see it that way.
