Excerpt from Cocoa
In writing this handbook I have done my best to make it practical.
This does not mean that the intention of the book is to teach the reader cocoa-planting, and it is not expected that any one unacquainted with cocoa-culture will become a cocoa-planter by reading the book from beginning to end.
The practical planting-work must be learned in the field, and I could quote here what has been written on the first page of Chapter VI.
Many planting operations, however, are not always well understood; often the practical man knows, how he has to treat his trees or his soil in order to get the best result, but not why. For this reason, different operations, like weeding, shading, manuring, and fermenting, have been explained more fully than is done in most agricultural handbooks.
Other subjects have been treated in detail which cannot be learned in the field, especially the varieties of cocoa, the botanical characters, and the diseases and their treatment.
It is a golden rule that the cultural methods must always be entirely dependent on local conditions.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
