Synopsis

Practical farming knowledge you can use, written for students and curious families.

This established text offers an accessible, student-friendly introduction to agriculture, updated with new problems and questions to sharpen thinking and hands-on skills. It emphasizes observing real-world farming, not just memorizing facts, and ties agricultural study to everyday life, home gardens, and public libraries.

The book frames agriculture as essential for everyone, not only those who become farmers. It covers plants, soil, cropping, animal care, and rural life with an eye toward practical results, home projects, and school gardens. Readers will learn how knowledge translates into bigger yields, healthier crops, and wiser stewardship of farm resources.

• Clear explanations of soil, plant growth, and everyday farming tasks
• Hands-on problems and new questions that encourage investigation
• Guidance on home gardens, poultry, and small farm projects
• Real-world examples of how knowledge boosts productivity and efficiency

Ideal for readers of introductory science, home gardeners, students in agriculture, and families curious about where food comes from.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from An Introduction to Agriculture

The progress that has been made in the teaching of agriculture and the emphasis given to the subject through the pressure of the world war have made a re vision of the Introduction to Agriculture desirable. When this book was published eight years ago, few of the states of the Union had published courses of instruction in agriculture. Most of the states have now done so and the authors have compared these courses and selected the salient points as a basis for an elementary book. Any state will find this book a text admirably fitted to its required course of study in agriculture.

The high cost of living has turned the attention of many people towards the raising of poultry and garden products; the book will be found especially strong in these two particulars and will therefore serve as a val nable reference book in public libraries and in homes of amateur farmers. Throughout the volume special emphasis has-been given to these phases of agriculture in which a child is most easily interested and in which he can most readily become useful. The new chapter on home projects directs him in such work.
