Is the glass half empty or half full?
Carey Reams had a remarkable way of "seeing what he was looking at."
Hey, this is not all that common. For instance, where Reams saw the human body as self-healing with gentle care, the medical community thinks that disease & disorders must be driven out of the body with firey radiation, harsh poisons, and a slashing knife. As a way of highlighting the difference, here is a little "quiz" meant to show that "getting the wrong answer" does not mean the answer is wrong.

Q2. Where was the Declaration of Independence signed? * at the bottom of the page

Q10. How can you lift an elephant with one hand? * You will never find an elephant that has only one hand..
Q11. If you had three apples and four oranges in one hand and four apples and three oranges in other hand, what would you have ? * Very large hands
Q12. If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how long would it take four men to build it? * No time at all, the wall is already built.

Answers like the above have caused anything from giggles to paroxysms of laughter. However, that is not the point. We want to help the reader understand that every so often someone is listening to a different drummer and they both see & solve problems in ways other than the assumed. Knowing agriculture like he did, Reams was able to see through the confusion of human illness and spot true cause.
