While serving as a Vocational Agriculture teacher in the local schools he wrote a textbook on Cotton which was used as a standard textbook in Missouri and also used as a reference and textbook in other states. He was first published in 1949 and then revised and republished in 1952. He also published a textbook on Soybeans after 1952.
