When lean years came, young Wallace studiously and scientifically applied himself to the task of inducing the indurate soil to yield him his livelihood. His experiments and solutions he then reported in articles for farm journals in Iowa and Illinois; and it was these writings that paved his way to greater things than struggling to support a wife with corn at 10c and 15c a bushel and hogs at 2 3/4c...
