Opis: Corn Culture - Dearing William Graham

Excerpt from Corn Culture: New Methods Versus Old

About the middle of September, 1912, 1 was sitting on the veranda in the front of my house, looking at the beautiful landscape along the Ohio River, between the hills on the Kentucky side and the hills on the Indiana side. The house is on a small ridge in the center of four hundred acres of land, some ten miles from Louisville, Kentucky. In the distance could be seen the smoke hanging over the populous and energetic city, and the gentle Ohio, winding its course at the foot of the Indiana hills. The reddened leaves on the trees and the changing color of the corn, indicating that the year's work was nearly done, and the singing and twittering of the birds on a nearby beeeh, which broke the silence and serenity of the bright morning, all made the scene one not easily forgotten.

On the south side of the farm the L., H. & St. L. Railway runs, and the St. Louis Limited, with its excellent train of Pullmans, had just passed; on the north side of the farm is the Illinois Central Railroad, and the Panama Express with its fine vestibuled train was just passing. A little distance beyond is the old Louisville & Nashville Turnpike, along which the traffic from the Ohio River Crossings passed South before the days of railway transportation, and where now runs the interurban electric road, extending from Louisville to Orell. An interurban car could be seen for a distance of two and a half miles, and just as I was looking over the valley north, I saw the electric car coming down its road from Louisville and stop at Finley Station.

A gentleman got off, and after talking with another gentleman standing near, he started in the direction of my home. He was soon near the house, and I saw it was my old friend Doc Saunders, who was a client of mine when I lived in the good old town of Flemingsburg.
