Abstract
Coast immediately began to clear the ground for cultivation, and as population moved westward, the practice of cultivating the soil moved likewise. It took many years, however, to reach the high plains of western Kansas. Wheat production seemed not to reach its maximum relative importance as a farm crop in the United States until it was grown on soils formerly occupied by prairie vegetation. This crop provided an ever increasing supply of wheat flour for making bread but Man does not live by bread alone--he needs a beefsteak occasionally. If man today were like Nebuchadnezzar of old, it would not be necessary for him to obtain by proxy his share of the vast amount of energy produced in the vegetation of our grasslands (Sampson, 1932). We have advanced beyond the stage of our ancient forefathers, DR. F. W. ALBERTSON
