Endless Wheat Dreams and Fertility's Call to Farmers
A reflective essay urges farmers to expand by improving soil fertility and adopting scientific farming rather than chasing more land. It cites a Lewiston, New York incident where deep plowing transformed poor land into a profitable wheat yield, and extols sun, air, and manure use, warning of neglecting fertility as New England farmers have done. It links agricultural prosperity to national growth amid rising imports and population pressure, urging practical farming reforms and acknowledging the era's political figures.
