JF Ptak Science Books Post 263
This is the great promise of this remarkably mundane and contemporarily-wholly-removed pamphlet, which promises rewards and riches to be made in even the simplest backyard frog ranch, and all done with water, cement and no secret decoder ring. I mean, good night! I really had no idea whatsoever about such frog-goings-on in the depths of our country, even if the "depths" was Ridgewood, New Jersey, and it was the Depression (this pamphlet published in 1936). I don't have too much else to say about this remark effort except that--for all I know and I am not going to research it--this may well be the earliest Frog Ranch Plan published in the U.S. There. I said it (though my "key words" section says it all: "Frog farm, frog ranch, frog raising, frog map").
Makes me thinks of the Sonny Boy Williams song "Fattenin' Frogs for Snakes" Good version of it here, as done by John Hammond: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiXlJ_U8yZo
