- John Falter contends that nothing in the world smells as good as Missouri River Valley loam just after it has been plowed and rained on and is all excited about growing a new crop. Born and bred in that country, the man is biased. Is there a square mile in this U.S.A. where the vernal earth doesn’t come mighty sweet? “How lovely the warm mud felt on my feet!” Falter says rapturously. “And what a beautiful sound it made—slup, slup, slup!” One editor worried, “Is Falter’s barefoot boy true to life? My kids don’t remove their sneakers before slumping. I hate to think bitterly of them, but they might even put on their Sunday shoes first.” Falter’s lad is normal; he’ll be thought of bitterly when those black feet come home.
