Excerpt from Field Crops
The extensive use of the previous edition of Field Crops indicates that it fulfilled an acceptable mission when agricultural courses were being formulated and a text of this character was most needed. The study of agriculture has recently received from educators and governmental authority a new impetus on account of the economic importance of crop production. The study of field crops will, therefore, be undertaken more widely than ever before and with a keener appreciation of its value in the national welfare.
In order to be fully apace with matters of figures and fact, a thorough revision has been made of all those parts of the text where experience has suggested improvement or changes of statistics or conditions have made it necessary. It is now believed that it contains the latest available information and practice with reference to the subjects treated. At no other time has there been so national a demand for the specialized teaching of agriculture. It is hoped that this text in its present form will commend itself anew as adapted to the peculiar requirements of these intensive times.
Field Crops has been prepared for students of high school grade and for those in many other public and private agricultural schools and. colleges that desire to teach practical scientific courses in agriculture. Not only as regards subject matter but with special reference also to the language and style of presentation the book has been adapted to the comprehension and interest of the student. It is more personal than bookish.
The work is intended to cover the period of the school year.
