Why not make all our farming
more like the garden? We
spread our work and our time
over too much land, and get
small crops where we might
just as well get large ones. We
ought to get sixty bushels of corn
where we now get forty; and
we can do it, if we will take a
little more pains. Let us work
up to that, and then we shall try
to go beyond it. Aim high, and
try to come as near the mark as
you can. Get out the rocks.
