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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils and Soil Fertility The aim of this book has been to give an outline of the principles of soil fertility in a form adapted for use in agricultural courses as given in High and other Secondary schools. While it is assumed that students using the book will have had, or will take at the same time, a course in botany, a brief statement of the essential requirements for plant growth is made in Chapter I, to serve as a starting point in the study of the soil. An effort has been made to make the book practical and give much information which can be immediately applied in farming, but a greater effort has been made to explain clearly the principles underlying farm practice so far as it applies to the management of the soil. It is distinctly recognized that knowledge of these principles is far from complete and that there are differences of opinion on some phases of the subject, but we have tried to give only those conclusions which are well supported by fact and accepted by the majority of authorities on the subject. It is hoped that the laboratory exercises can be given as outlined and that field excursions and practical illustrations may be used to establish the principles discussed in the class room.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Studies on the Farm, Soils and Plants This work that we are to begin together is not plant study merely, but a study of the growing plant; and our purpose is to learn to help the plants to grow better, so that they may give us larger crops. To do this we must learn something about soils as well as about plants. We shall find that the same law of life applies to plants as to animals and to man. Like us, the plant grows best when it is fed best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils: Their Nature and Treatment During the last few years the progress in the study of science applied to farming has been very great, and the number of farmers and farm students who have taken the matter up is ever on the increase. It is believed that a summary of information on scientific practice might be usefully offered to those interested - whether young or old-hence the present series Of Handbooks, of which the first is now issued. The series will consist of separate volumes on soils, crops, live stock dairy farming, and farm equipment, and each will be complete in itself. The subjects will be treated in a simple manner, without introducing many technicalities, and the volumes will 'form a complete treatise on modern scientific farming. The author is himself farming extensively, and has sifted all the information through his own practical experience. In many cases farmers from long training instinctively form their judgments and ideas on anything connected with the farm without any conscious reason ing on the matter in these volumes the scientific know ledge behind the practical work will be explained, so that the learner may understand the reasons Of all the complex phenomena he meets with on a farm, and may thus in the future develop his farming on a sound scientific basis.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Farming: A Plain Book on Treatment of the Soil and Crop Production You may ask, Why a new book on Agriculture? Simply because in the numerous books for farmers that have appeared Of late years I know Of none that appeals directly to the man behind the plow in all sections of the country, and tries in the plain language Of the farm to explain many Of the things which the investigations Of scientists have discovered in regard to the treatment Of the soil and the production Of crops. To this effort to explain scientific matters in plain language I have drawn in addition from the experience Of a long life spent in the practical work Of cultivating the soil, and have endeavored to make this a farmers' book on farming, nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps to keep up with the phraseology Of the day, I should call it a treatise on Agronomy. But my Old fashioned notions come in again, and I call it Practical Farming. Agronomy would sound more scientific, but I have not written the book for scientists, and therefore call it by a name that the plain tiller of the soil will under stand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture, Practical and Scientific Agriculture is the art of cultivating the soil so that it may produce crops for the use Of men or the domestic animals, but in its widest sense it must also be taken to include the breeding, feeding, and management of all kinds of farm live-stock. The present work will not attempt to deal with the latter part of the subject, but will confine itself to the consideration of the soil, its improvement and management, and the cultivation of the chief farm crops.

Download or read book The Culture of Farm Crops written by Henry Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Culture of Farm Crops: A Manual of the Science of Agriculture, and a Hand-Book of Practice for American Farmers Not a farmer of that day, nor a chemist, knew that bones furnished phosphoric acid to plants; or that guano provided in its ammonia the materials from which their gluten and other nitrogenous substances were derived. Indeed the renowned father of agricultural science: Liebig - when he propounded his mineral theory, which was that the ashes of plants contained everything which they drew from the soil, and that if the mineral substances contained in the ashes, were supplied in sufficient quantity to the crops, there would be scarcely a limit to the product, excepting the space in which they were contained - knew nothing about the invaluable nitrogen which we now know to be wholly indispensable to plant growth. But light has grad ually dawned upon us, and by slow and sometimes faltering progress, there has been built up a system of agricultural science which explains the laws of plant growth and affords the most important information to the cultivator of the soil. Science is based upon fact. Philosophy is based upon speculation. Science is the outgrowth of philosophy, be cause before we can reach a true knowledge of any fact we must approach the study of it by a well devised theory, changed as may be necessary, and tested patiently and slowly until the knowledge sought is found. This know ledge, when verified by practice, sufficiently proved and classified, becomes science. Science then is nothing for the farmer to fear, or cast doubt and suspicion upon. Theory as has been said, has no part or lot in it; it is a summary of known facts, and is therefore of the most valuable use to the farmer as it gives him a sound basis upon which to build up such conclusions in regard to his practice as will enable him to meet the various difficulties which are al ways arising in his work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field and Laboratory Studies of Soils: An Elementary Manual for Students of Agriculture A supply of clean sand, and also some loam, clay and muck soil should be secured in the fall. This material should be dried, pulverized, and passed through a sieve with one eighth-inch mesh, to remove stones and sticks. The exercises are intended to furnish sufficient material for one period per week throughout the year or two periods per week for a half year. Although they are arranged in logical order, it is not necessary that the exercises should be taken up in the exact sequence in which they occur in the text. Indeed, it will be necessary for the teacher to vary the arrangement in order to adapt the study to the season and to the facilities of the school. A small working library should form a part of the equipment. For a study of soils this library should include several elementary books on soils, a collection of Farmers' Bulletins from the United States Department of Agriculture and the publications of the State Experiment Station.

Thus spoke Emerson. We are not only con cerned in the use of land, but just What crops are planted in the soil to feed the nation, as well as make possible a method of permanent agriculture. The crops which the farmer raises on his farm today are not new. They, were, for the most part, raised thousands of. Years ago. It will be the purpose of these pages to discuss the crops raised, by a majority of the farmers of this country, as well as such timely topics as how these crops may be raised to best advantage. This latter part must necessarily include such matters as the kind of soils best adapted for each crop, preparation of the seed bed, planting, cultivating, harvesting, disease and insect enemies, marketing, and the ulti mate uses of these various crops.
