The book agent called oh a
farmer in Iowa to interest him in
buying a set of books on scientific
agriculture. The farmer leafed
through the volumes with obvious
appreciation, but in the end he
handed them back. "No, can't use
them.7'
' "But with this information you

"Mister," the farmer replied,
"these days I don't dare farm half
as good as I know how to now"
