For Example:
"No popular error has been more generally held in this country than that wheat will turn to cheese. No other subject has, during the last fifty years, been more actively discussed in the agricultural press. There are signs, however, that interest in the question is dying out, which probably means that the better educated farmers have ceased to believe in the transmutation theory."
