...college man can be trusted to sift the wheat from the chaff, for, if I know him at all, he does not believe everything he is told by any means. If he is not allowed to hear any radical ideas in the university, he will meet them in the world later, when he has not the same time to stop and discover which are true and which false...
...bread as influenced by the presence of substitutes, of salts and the admixture of certain other substances. The results are mainly of a scientific character, but can be applied in case of need, so as to somewhat increase the amount of good bread produced from a given quantity of wheat. The disease of bread known as "rope" has also been studied. These experiments and their results are undoubtedly of the greatest value to the country, should occasion arise to get the greatest food value out of the least possible amount of product...
...moved out--up to the river the first day, and across the second, and on into the forests and fields and thicket-covered hillsides where he had left his rear-guard detachments, bristling with machine guns, to cover his withdrawal.

...land of great beauty and promise and with immense opportunities for young Americans. This is also true of European Russia. While there are stretches of desert land near Manchuria, there are in the centre of the country enormous areas of fertile land already yielding excellent crops of wheat and rye. The world's food supply could be raised there. We traveled for days through almost unbroken forests of pine, fir, larch and birch, and through mountainous regions where minerals are said to be abundant. There are great streams and large cities, and ultimately there will be a thriving Siberian population...
