Download or read book Plant Food Classic Reprint written by M. A. Bachtell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Food In the production of a crop, three things are necessary; seed, soil into which to put them, and a season during which the plant may grow and mature. These were essentials a hundred years ago; but at that time large crops were grown more easily than they are at present. If it is more difficult to obtain a large crop of wheat than it once was, it must be because the seed, the climate, or the soil has changed. Much has been learned about seed and today it is possible to get better seed than that used one hundred years ago, hence smaller crops cannot be attributed to poor seed. Nor can the cause be a change of climate, for that has not changed. The decline in yields must, then, be due to a change in the soil; the farmer has been growing crops that have taken from the soil important plant food, which he has not been careful to return to it. A long time ago, a certain man took a willow tree which weighed five pounds and planted it in a tub of dry earth. For five years he watered it regularly with rain water. At the end of that time he cleaned the soil from the roots and carefully weighed the tree. He found that it had increased one hundred and sixty pounds in weight. Did this in crease come from the soil? He also weighed the tub of soil and found that it had lost only two ounces, which he thought might have been an error in the weighing. The man thought that the tree had lived on rain water. This, he said, is the food of all plants. His conclusion was not correct, however. Later, another man said that plants did not live on water alone but on water and air together. A third man held that this could not be so, saying: It often happens that two fields side-by-side both receive the same amount of rain and both have the same air yet one is more fertile than the other. This man believed that the food of plants was the fine particles of soil. He thought that if lumps of earth were crushed into dust-like particles, the plant could absorb and digest these very much as an animal digests a piece of meat. This man's ideas were also incorrect. It is now known that the plant does not digest the particles of soil, but that there is something in the soil which the plant takes out and uses as food.

Download or read book Food Plants of Ancient America Classic Reprint written by O. F. Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food Plants of Ancient America It can not be declared impossible, of course, that this primeval migration from America took place at a time when there was more land in the Pacific than now, as Belt and other geologists have held that there was, some thousands of years ago, but such conjectures are rendered gratuitous in View of the highly developed seafaring talents of the inhabitants of the Pacific islands and of the adjacent shores of America, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. It is no farther from America to the inhabited islands of the Pacific than from Tahiti to Hawaii, a route traversed by the Polynesians. In ancient, as in modern times, the sea was not a barrier, but the most open way of communica tion between distant regions; then, as now, the boat was the easiest means of transportation known to man. In time and labor of travel the islands of the Pacific were far nearer to Peru, for example, than many of the inland regions conquered by the Incas of Cuzco. More over, the Peruvians told the Spaniards of inhabited islands in the Pacific, or at least gave sailing directions which enabled Quiros to reach the Low Archipelago. There was a tradition that one of the Incas had made a voyage of two vears in the Pacific and returned with black prisoners of war. Apparently, too; they told the Spaniards that the banana was brought from this quarter, for Acosta gathered from the Indians that it was not a native of America but came from Ethiopia. These historical incidents have been overlooked or disregarded, perhaps because such possibilities as an American origin of agriculture and a trans-pacific dissemination of food plants have not been considered by writers on primitive man. The times, routes, and methods of travel are, of course, questions to be approached by detailed studies of many kinds. For the present purposes it suflices to remember that the actual introduction of plants by human agency discounts in advance all objections on the ground of distances and difficulties of communica tion, and justifies the fullest use of biological or other data in tracing the origin and dissemination of agricultural civilization in the Tropi of both hemispheres.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food of Plants: An Introduction to Agricultural Chemistry This little book has been written as an experimental introduction to Agricultural Chemistry for beginners, and I have therefore not assumed any knowledge of chemistry on the part of the reader. On the other hand, he will have, in the course of carrying out the experiments described in the text, occasionally to perform operations which he cannot fully understand the meaning of without some little knowledge of chemistry. It would, therefore, be advisable to combine the study of the Chemistry Primer with the study of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book of Plants Plants grow almost everywhere in the world around us in all sizes and shapes. Some are so small that they can be seen only with a microscope. Others, like the redwood trees of Cali lornia, tower high in the sky. Plants grow not only in well watered soil, but in oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps, in deserts, on rocks, far above the ground on branches of trees, on old pieces of wood, even on such unlikely things as crusts of bread, old shoes, or on top of arctic snow. Some strange plants eat insects, and others steal food from their neighbors. Plants and animals are the living, growing things of the earth. Most animals move around, and many of them have sound apparatuses, for making noises. Most plants spend their whole lives silently in one place. Because they live so quietly, we sometimes forget that during their growing seasons they work hard all day long. For plants are just as alive as animals, and they have the same problems: finding and keeping a place to live, getting food, fighting animal enemies and plant rivals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Useful Plants: Plants Adapted for the Food of Man Described and Illustrated Common Things, conveyed in a pleasant and agreeable manner. It will have for its subjects the general relations in which man stands to the world around him; his dependence upon its fruits and its animals for the comforts and luxuries of his daily life; the manner in which he has been led to render it available for increased comfort and additional luxury; the inexhaustible resources which it places within his reach; and its obvious adaptation by a Supreme Power to his wants and necessities. It will deal with articles that constantly come under his notice, and yet of which he, as a rule, knows little or nothing; so true it is that familiarity breeds contempt, and that we feel no interest in what is most immediately connected with us.
