...Simpson of Union County, who, with his daughters Eula and Cora, raised 136.24 bushels on a single acre. He planted his hybrid seed (Dixie 17) 12-15 inches apart in the rows instead of the usual 2-3 feet. He used plenty of fertilizer, which kept the leaves brilliant green until picking time. Most stalks had two big ears instead of the usual one. Farmer Simpson's net profit, after allowing for seed, fertilizer and labor: $125 on a single acre...
...They terrace their steeper fields skillfully, plow on the contour instead of up & down hill. On thousands of once sterile slopes, the miraculous vine, kudzu, clambers like Jack's beanstalk. It chokes devouring gullies with entangled soil. It buries fences, leaps into trees. Its big leaves, which stay green until Christmas, are as nourishing to cattle as excellent alfalfa.

The fresh green of a hillside, the blue of the Mediterranean, the delicate lilt of a racing horse, the crisp lines of the Eiffel Tower, the smoke of a train or the plump pinkness of a nude are all equally his dish. Crippled with arthritis, he sometimes has to strap his brush to his hand but (like Renoir, who was also arthritic) he permits only pleasure and good taste to appear in his work...
