Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 69: A Monthly Journal Devoted to Practical and Progressive Agriculture, Horticulture, Trucking, Live Stock and the Fireside; August, 1908
What a tremendous addition to our resources it would make if the full potential nutritive power of the corn plant' were obtained on our farms. But does this sug gestion smack of a Utopian ideal which we can never hope to reach? Not at all, because the intelligence of the American farmer is developing apace, and the time is not far distant when many exceedingly wasteful forms of practice which now find favor will pass into disuse. On thousands of farms corn stover is never harvested.
