This is "an introductory book in agriculture, including a discussion of 

 soils, selecting and planning farms, subduing the fields, drainage, irrigation,

 and the relations of the general science of agriculture." 



198. Manual of Agriculture: Soils and Crops. D. O. BARTO. Boston: D. C. 

 Heath & Co. (1911), xi+492. 



This manual is a series of laboratory and field experiments in two 

 parts, one relating to soils; the other to crops. The work included is con- 

 sidered sufficient to cover one year of the high-school course in agriculture, 

 and is intended to "offer training in science comparable to that -furnished 

 by the other science courses in good high schools." 



199. Outlines of Agriculture for Rural Schools. C. M. EVANS. Chicago: 

 W. M. Welch Mfg. Co. (1910), 31. 



A year's work is outlined for rural schools with one lesson each week. 



200. Fundamentals of Agriculture. JAMES EDWARD HALLIGAN. Boston: 

 D. C. Heath & Co. (1911), xi+492. 



"Every subject in this book is written by an expert in his line. This 

 idea was carried out in order to furnish the student with the best informa- 

 tion that could be obtained. The editor thought it would be better to have 

 authorities treat of the various topics rather than write the book alone, as 

 there are very few men competent enough to warrant their writing the best 

 book on agriculture." Thirty-three experts in various fields of agriculture 

 have contributed. 



201. An Introduction to Agriculture. A. A. UPHAM. New York: Apple ton 

 & Co. (1911), xi+ayo. 



The aim of the book is "to touch those matters which would be most 

 useful to the pupils in our rural schools, and especially to give the under- 

 lying theory for many farm processes and practices." There are twenty- 

 one chapters and an Appendix. All of the usual subjects of agriculture 

 are covered in these chapters, and the Appendix contains references and a 

 number of useful tables. 



202. Beginnings of Agriculture. ALBERT R. MANN. New York: Macmillan, 

 (1911), x+3i7. 



"This book is designed for the purpose of introducing the study of 

 agriculture into the seventh and eighth grades of our elementary schools. 

 The book is founded on the suggestions in the Report of the Committee 

 on Industrial Education in Schools for Rural Communities of the National 

 Education Association. It has been the aim of the author to cover the 

 work very largely in a nature-study spirit, by which it is meant that the 

 pupil shall be brought into as close touch as possible with the actual 

 farms, soils, crops, animals and affairs." There are four parts : I, The 

 Affairs of Agriculture, eight chapters ; II, The Soil, seven chapters ; III, 

 Farm Plants, sixteen chapters ; IV, Farm Animals, ten chapters. Each 

 chapter is followed by a series of problems dealing concretely with various 

 phases of the subject in text. There are two hundred and forty-one such 

 problems in the book.
