Download or read book First Principles of Soil Fertility Classic Reprint written by Alfred Vivian and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Principles of Soil Fertility This little book is intended primarily for home read ing. It is written, however, largely from lecture notes used by the author in a course in soil fertility given to winter course students, and, therefore, will be found to be a suitable text for short courses. It is an at tempt to present in non-technical language a subject of great scientific and practical interest to the farmer. The subject of Soil Fertility is so large, that each phase of it could of necessity be only briefly considered in a small book, and the writer did not pretend to make the discussion of any topic exhaustive. For this reason some things have been omitted which might have been discussed with profit in a larger work. Only the more important facts concerning the maintenance of fertility have been presented, but it is believed that the statements so far as they go are in accord with the best scientific thought and practice of the day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's Book on Soils and Manures I hope the student will carry out the experiments given here as well as those given in my earlier Lessons on Soil. The analytical methods are put in the Appendix for the convenience Of those who want them; it is not intended that all should be carried out by the student but only such (if any) as may be desirable. I have assumed no knowledge of chemistry: all the same the student will need some chemical explanations, but these must be supplied by the teacher. The vexed question of how much pure chemistry is needed for an agricultural course admits Of no general answer: the teacher alone can settle the matter for his own case and to him therefore the decision is left.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Soil Management In 1895 the preface was written for the Rural Science Series. It set forth the purpose of the Series to be the desire to place in readable form the best results of scientific thought and discovery relating to agriculture and country life, in order that the general public might be made aware of the progress, and that farmers might be led more effectively to apply the information in their daily work. It was the hope that the Series, under the present writer's direction or another's, might gradually extend itself to the whole range of agricultural scientific literature. The books now included in The Rural Science Series are about two dozen, making nearly two volumes, on the average, for each year. The number of writers on agricultural topics is increasing, the knowledge on all subjects is rapidly accumulating, and the reading-public is gradually enlarging; there is every reason to expect, therefore, that the Series will extend itself still more rapidly in the years to come.

Download or read book Soils How to Handle and Improve Them Classic Reprint written by S. W. Fletcher and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 536 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Conditions and Plant Growth It is hoped that this new arrangement will prove satisfactory to students. It has the advantage that the book still covers the whole ground, while remaining of a manageable size, and that it is closely linked up with a series of similar books, each dealing with separate sections, in which more complete treatment and more fully informed criticism are given than I could myself undertake. On the other hand, the necessity for freedom of treatment, and the difficulty of placing such subjects as Soil Physics or Soil Protozoa under the heading of Biochemistry, compelled the withdrawal of the book from the important Biochemical Series, of which it has hitherto been a member. And, although Drs. Plimmer and Hopkins willingly consented, this course was not taken without serious consideration and regret: it in volves the separation of the book from a very useful series of volumes.

Download or read book Lessons on Soil Classic Reprint written by Edward J. Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons on Soil The book is intended to help children to study nature; there is no attempt to substitute book study for nature study. Hence, whilst there are passages of continuous reading, it is not a mere reader. Many teachers, myself among them, have felt the difficulty of organising practical work for large classes. Dr Russell has written so that, whilst nominally showing the pupil how to learn, he is secretly scattering hints for the teacher who is learning how to teach. Abundant and varied practical exercises have been suggested, and careful instructions have been given so that the book shall seem intelligible even in the absence of a teacher. The proposed practical work is not only what might be done by eager boys and girls on half-holidays, but what can be done by every scholar in the course of ordinary school work. The pictorial illustrations are intended as aids to observation, not as substitutes. Drawing is one form of practical exercise, and the preparation of corresponding illustrations in the scholars' notebooks from the apparatus used in the classroom and the fields around the school may afi'ord exercises in artistic work with pen, brush or camera. Sufficient directions are given for the supply of necessary materials and apparatus. The apparatus pro posed is of the simplest character. It is suggested that the book will be found most useful in the higher standards of elementary schools, in preparatory schools and in the lower forms of secondary schools, that is, where the ages of scholars average from 12 to 14.

Download or read book The Management of the Soil Classic Reprint written by Caroline Ruth Jackson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Management of the Soil The soil is the source of all agricultural products. To his knowledge of it and its management the farmer must owe much of his success. It is important then, that the principles underlying soil management should be given a definite and thorough study at the beginning of the course in Agriculture. It has been our aim to set forth the essential principles of the management of the soil in such a manner that the student may grasp them at the outset. It is intended that the students shall carefully work out the experiments and problems for themselves, especially those adapted to the region in which the school is located. Such work will mean infinitely more than lectures by the teacher and will be much longer remembered. We know that there are different opinions upon some of these topics, but we have tried to give only those con elusions verified by experience or supported by authorities which are among the best. We are indebted to Dr. John A. Widtsoe, president of the University of Utah, and a widely known authority on agriculture in the irrigated and the dry-farming regions of the West, for the reading of the manuscript, and for helpful suggestions.

Download or read book The Control of Blowing Soils Classic Reprint written by Edward Elway Free and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Control of Blowing Soils This continual blowing Of small quantities of soil is naturally greater on cultivated fields than elsewhere, as there is no protective covering of vegetation. The reality of the phenomena may be shown by a very simple experiment. If any ordinary glass partly full of water be placed for a few days on a fence (or other support) in the midst of cultivated fields, the water will become muddy from soil which blows into it, and this will occur when the wind movement is only normal. On very windy days the quantity of dust collected will be much greater. The moving of soil by wind and water, and even its final removal into the sea, is not in general harmful. Much good results from this process. Were the soil a stationary thing, and did each partic ular soil grain remain forever in one place, fertility would rapidly decrease. The removal of plant food materials by plants and in the drainage waters would ultimately take from the upper layers Of the soil much of the elements useful to plants. The soil, however, is not stationary; its surface layers are being continually removed by wind and water and the particles carried (mainly by the water) to the sea. In their stead new, unweathered, and unexhausted fragments of the underlying rocks are coming into the soil zone and in their turn are contributing to its fertility. This process of the removal of worn-out soil must of course be properly balanced against the agencies of chemical rock decay and the extraction of nutrients by plants. If the mechanical removal Of soil material be too Slow, there will be an actual chemical exhaustion. If it be too rapid, there will not be time for the necessary weathering and preparation of the rock fragments which appear from below. Both Of these ex tremes occur in nature, the second far more Often than the first, but fortunately both are comparatively rare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Agronomy: A d104-Book of Crop Production for High-Schools and Short-Courses in Agricultural Colleges Agricultural instruction in the high-school has extended so rapidly within the last few years that the demand for suitable text-books has become insistent. The variation in the teaching in different schools is so great that several texts are required. Some high schools give but one year in agriculture, While others give four. This book is designed fer schools giving more than one course in agriculture; its study should probably precede instruction in horticulture or animal husbandry. A knowledge of botany and chemistry, although not presupposed, Will assist in a better understanding of some, perhaps all, of the chapters.
