Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


They skirted the lower of the three fields where the ripe hay
stood uncut. Billy pointed with eloquent disgust to a break in
the fence, slovenly repaired, and on to the standing grain
much-trampled by cattle.


"Them's the things," he criticized. "Old style. An' look how thin
that crop is, an' the shallow plowin'. Scrub cattle, scrub seed,
scrub farmin'. Chavon's worked it for eight years now, an' never
rested it once, never put anything in for what he took out,
except the cattle into the stubble the minute the hay was on."
