When he went there his mind was on anything but love. But after working on the farm, which he learned to call home, a number of years, he fell in love with the Pecks' youngest daughter, Maude.... When Ed was actively engaged in farming, he took care of 320 acres, more than half of which was under cultivation. His chief crops were corn, oats, wheat and rye. While he carried on a general dryland farming operation, Edd always believed in having a lot of livestock on the place. In looking over the past, Mr. Cook recalled the hard times, when he sold corn for 12 cents a bushel, eggs for five cents a dozen and hogs for $1.75 a cwt. Mr. Cook farmed with horses until 1926, when he purchased his first tractor. His first cornpicker was bought 14 years ago....
