This is one of the excellent? books of the Rural Text- 

 book Series, edited by Professor Liberty Hyde Bailey. 



r\fter an introductory view of the whole field of plant 

 lifj and crop rotation, there are twenty chapters on dif- 

 feient crops, for example, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, 

 rice, buckwheat, perennial grasses, annual grasses, clovers, 

 alialfa, root crops, fibre crops, etc. There is a chapter 

 abo on marketing grain. 



The book is simple and non-technical in style and in- 

 tensely practical, the topics treated being those of immedi- 

 ate interest and profit to students who expect to become 

 ac.ual farmers. It points out the " better way" of raising 

 farm crops, of selecting the field, of preparing the soil, of 

 sowing the seed, of cultivating the plant, of harvesting the 

 crop. It tells what causes hard and soft wheats, how to 

 prevent smut in the corn crops, and about reseeding old 

 meadows and pastures. The appendix contains references 

 for outside reading and review questions for each chapter.
