TEXT-BOOK ON FORAGE CROPS 



By Professor C. V. PIPER 



Of the United States Department of Agriculture 



Cloth, i2ino 



A clear and concise account of the present knowledge of forage cropping in 

 North America, intended primarily as a text-book for the use of agricultural 

 college students. The author presents the subject in such a way as to make the 

 student realize the shortcomings of the present knowledge on the subject, as 

 well as the progress which has been definitely accomplished. All the plants 

 and crops which are used for forage and for hay are described, and their botan- 

 ical characteristics and means of cultivation are carefully discussed. The 

 grasses, alfalfa, the clovers, the millets, and the various fodder crops are all 

 treated. 



SMALL GRAINS 



By M. a. CARLETON 



Cerealist of the United States Department of Agriculture 



Cloth, i2mo. Preparing 



■ The cereal grains and buckwheat are described carefully. Their metliods 

 of cultivation and of handling and marketing are thoroughly discussed. Among 

 the grains thus treated are wheat, oats, rye, barley, and the minor crops. This 

 book will prove an admirable complement to Montgomery's " The Corn 

 Crops." Both these books are intended primarily for use as texts in college 

 courses, and may very well be used in conjunction in the general course on 

 grain crops. These books also are of distinct interest and value to the farmer.
