And Columbia wasn't all about selling American wheat and corn for the highest profit. She brought improved farming methods that allowed farmers to work more efficiently, and things like "rural electrification" (and later "extending telephone service"), and embodied an all-American spirit of Progress (which at that time implied improved technology and new scientific discoveries.) And youthful zeal and energy to accomplish that progress.
