Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “The pioneer of the prairie, then, was about to undergo one of the greatest social changes in the history of mankind, a change which is still in progress… Man put wheat into the soil and bade it fructify not alone into food for himself, but into house implement, furniture, fence, and fuel. That is to say, sufficient wheat must be raised to exchange the surplus for his needs.” Victor Murdock, “It May Chance of Wheat,” 1965
