The Lattice Girder Cow and Sandhills Farming Beliefs
A reminiscence essay contrasts the Pinehurst dairy debate on one hand with tales of farming in the Sandhills. It recalls one hand vs two hand milking, cotton and tobacco crops in thin soils, and disputes over what can be grown. The narrator cites local figures and a practical tolerance for experimentation. Concludes with a tease of further discussion on page seven.
