Excerpt from How Crops Feed: A Treatise on the Atmosphere and the Soil as Related to the Nutrition of Agricultural Plants
The work entitled "How Crops Grow" has been received with favor beyond its merits, not only in America, but in Europe. It has been republished in England under the joint Editorship of Professors Church and Dyer, of the Royal Agricultural College, at Cirencester, and a translation into German is soon to appear, at the instigation of Professor von Liebig.
The Author, therefore, puts forth this volume - the companion and complement to the former - with the hope that it also will be welcomed by those who appreciate the scientific aspects of Agriculture, and are persuaded that a true Theory is the surest guide to a successful Practice.
The writer does not flatter himself that he has produced a popular book. He has not sought to excite the imagination with high-wrought pictures of overflowing fertility as the immediate result of scientific discussion or experiment, nor has he attempted to make a show of revolutionizing his subject by bold or striking speculations.
