Excerpt from We Farm for a Hobby: And Make It Pay
Near the completion of his book the author, if he dare relax, sits back, and calls all the sad captains of memory to name those who came from the varying shore of the world to make his book for him. He battles the temptation to write scores of dedications. For he knows he has created little; rather, collated the "sifted wisdom" of his progenitors. To dedicate a book a dozen times is to quarrel with convention: the preface remains the author"s outlet for his gratitude. There the living customarily take precedence of the dead. Yet the person before all others who must shoulder responsibility for my book is the late Jay E. House. He not only guided my early, wavering auctorial steps; at a time when others looked down their noses at my experiments in home-use farming he, out of his practical experience on the land, endorsed and encouraged them.
