Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crops and Methods for Soil Improvement Nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash are the three substances that may not be in available form in sufficient amount for a growing crop. The lack may be in all three, or in any two, or in any one, of these plant constituents. The nat ural strength of the soil includes the small per centage of these materials that may be available, and the relatively large stores that nature has placed in the land in inert form as a provision against waste.

Book excerpt: Nearly all profitable farming in this country is based upon the fundamental fact that our lands are storehouses of fertility, and that this reserve of power is essential to a successful agriculture. Most soils, no matter how unproductive their condition to-day, have natural strength that we take into account, either consciously or unconsciously. Some good farm methods came into use thousands of years ago. Experience led to their acceptance. They were adequate only because there was natural strength in the land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils and Crops of the Farm Plants live and grow. Growth comes from food. Plant food must come from, or through, the soil or air, or both. Plants cannot move about to seek food. They do not have mouths like those of animals. They cannot take in solid substances. Their food must be brought into contact with them and be either liquid or gaseous in form. Finding out of what a plant is composed will help to an understanding of how and from whence it gets its food.

This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of the Wheat Crop in California An impression exists among many California farmers that the soil will no longer produce profitable yields of good milling wheats This impression is strengthened by two well - recognized facts (1) That under past and present methods of wheat culture the soil is failing in many localities to produce as large crops as heretofore, and (2) that the Australian and Club varieties, the most widely grown California wheats, are extremely starchy. As only these very starchy varieties have been extensively grown, it has become necessary for the millers to import large quantities of Turkey wheat from the Middle West to blend with the California wheats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils, How to Handle and Improve Them Many of the early books on farming were written in a technical style. They smacked of the lecture room and the library rather than of the soil. They were scholarly rather than practical. A spirit of directness and simplicity is beginning to dominate agricultural literature. The modern type of farm books is born of actual contact with the soil and a desire to be of service to the men who are getting a living from the soil. They are democratic; they discuss common things in a plain way. The long and tedious tables of figures in the old books are giving place to crisp summaries. The technical lecture-room phrases are replaced by words in common use on farms. The idea is not to present less science - for nothing is so practical as sound science - but to present science in a simple and practical way. This new spirit is contemporaneous with the farmers' institute, the farmer's reading-course, Nature-study, elementary agriculture in the public schools and other efforts to serve the man who tills the soil. It is an expression of a general movement which aims to democracise agricultural teaching. This book is an attempt to set forth the important facts about the soil in a plain and untechnical manner. It is not a contribution to agricultural science, but an interpretation of it - a new presentation of what is already known.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Bacteriology as a Factor in Crop Production; A New Ornamental Palmetto in Southern Texas; Commercial Truck Crops on the Truckee-Carson Project; A Purple-Leaved Mutation in Hemp; The Tuber-Unit Method of Seed-Potato Improvement The growing of truck crops on the truckee-carson project is assum ing increasing importance from year to year. This class of farming is largely followed by men who rent land on the older alfalfa ranches. Suitable land for this purpose has been rented for $12 to $25 per acre and generally for a term of years, since subduing and leveling old alfalfa land is often expensive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Moisture and Crop Production The correction for this consists in creating a granular, or flocculated, condition Of the soil, so that a number Of small particles act together like a single larger particle. Granulation is important. The most effective size of granule ranges from the size Of corn kernels to that Of timothy seed. Inevitably there will be considerable finer material, SO that the mass will have a loamy structure. By loosening the soil, Opportunity is given for the maximum thickness of films and the largest proportion Of available water.

Download or read book Conditions in Soils of the Arid Region Classic Reprint written by Milton Whitney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conditions in Soils of the Arid Region It is generally conceded that 20 inches of well-distributed rainfall in Kansas will make an abundant cr0p of wheat or corn. That there. Must be some rather anomalous condition here is shown by the fact that in much of the humid portion of the eastern United States there has never been so little as 20 inches of annual rainfall within the period of reliable records, and in years of most disastrous drought the rainfall has been greaterthan this. -the fact that a crop can be made in Kansas and Nebraska with such a small annual rainfall is particularly striking when it is remembered that, owing to the drier conditions of the atmos phere, evaporation is very much greater there than in the East. There are localities in the West where the total annual rainfall does not exceed 6 or 8 inches. It does not seem possible that with this rainfall under ordinary circumstances crops could be produced by any system of agriculture, unless water were artificially supplied. How ever, it seems possible, outside of these exceptional cases, that with improved-methods of cultivation the conditions actually existing can be so utilized as to secure reliable and satisfactory crops. Statistics show that in the humid portion of the United States, hav in g a mean annual rainfall of about 40 inches, 50 per cent flows cd' into the streams and is of no direct benefit to agriculture. This excess of rainfall reaches the streams partly by flowing over the surface of the ground and partly by slow percolation through the soil; Fifty per cent of the rainfall, or 20 inches per annum, evaporates directly from the surface of the soil or is transpired by plants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Culture and Modern Farm Methods Most virgin soils contain a goodly amount of the essential inorganic elements, and in water and air we find the four great basic elements in abundance, namely, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Standing between these two groups of elements, we have the man we call the farmer, who is the active dynamic force intended by the Creator to make available the actual and potential power in nature's storehouse. We find in the soil silica, phosphorus, potash, lime, magnesia, iron, sulphur and other elements which enter into the economy of plant growth.
