Unused invitation printed in dark blue on light blue cardstock. Fine. <br /> <br /> Invitation to a cocktail party in which the mayor of Buffalo NY Stanley Makowski was to present the key to the city to the R&B and soul singer Marvin Gaye. The local concert with opening acts Trammps and New Birth was covered in the local paper which also featured an interview with an indifferent yet reflective Gaye who clutching a Carlos Castaneda paperback talked of his dislike of touring and bristled at the reporter framing "Let's Get It On" as "raunchy" countering "I'm singing about life and things people are afraid to sing about. People are still in the Dark Ages. I don't think sex and love-making is raunchy. Leastwise I don't do it raunchy. I imagine it is raunchy though."<br /> <br /> Jackie Farnan "Touring -- Thing I have to do" in the Democrat and Chronicle Rochester NY Saturday August 14 1976 p. 27. .

Original printed softcovers minor chipping head & foot of spine slight chipping couple lower corners dustsoiling still a VG bright copy. First edition of one of the earliest American studies on Chinese Sugarcane Sorghum and the possibilities that this was the sorghum plant that American farmers hoped would grow in the Northern United States and definitive work on growing harvesting and distilling sorghum. A variety of “Chinese Sugarcane†was imported by Father Du Halde from Sichuan China in 1851 where it was quickly adopted also under the name of “Northern Chinese or Shanghai Sugarcane†as a crop to provide sugars for alcoholic products filling the void left by the grape crop failure in the 1850s. Chinese Sugarcane seeds were first brought into United States by Jay Browne Esq. in 1854 and a few intrepid American nurseries began planting and determining if it could be planted and harvested profitably in the North. Hyde writes that in his test crop he was able to secure a dark sugar from the cane molasses and notes that it will be of tremendous value in producing alcohol and confectionaries and that the Sorghum remnants could be fed to livestock. Hyde 1825-1898 worked with his father James Hyde in developing the very successful nursery emphasizing fruit trees ornamental trees and cash crops. He was a pioneering environmentalist who founded the first improvement society in the United States the Newton Centre Tree Club whose purpose was to emphasize beautifying the roads and commons in Massachusetts. He was Newton MA first mayor after the city was incorporated in 1873 and was also successful in persuading the Boston & Albany RR to acquire the existing single-track line of the Charles River Railroad to aid his nursery business.
