OF KINDRED INTEREST 



The Farmer of Tomorrow 



By R I. ANDERSON 



Cloth, 12mo, SI. 50 net 



There has been a great deal of theorizing about the "back-to- 

 the-land" movement. It is the purpose of this book to crystalize 

 and to make practical all of the vague generalizations which have 

 so far been expressed on this subject. To this en.d the first part of 

 Mr. Anderson's book is given over to a consideration of the land 

 itself as a factor in the movement, primarily its economic bearing 

 on the question. The second half takes up the soil with a detailed 

 exposition of soil sanitation, the author confining himself, however, 

 to only the broad principles. In presenting these two main thoughts 

 the author touches upon such important and interesting topics as 

 Why Europe Raises Three Bushels of Grain to Our One, Why Soils 

 Become Unproductive, Why the Farmer of Yesterday is Rich, Why 

 There Has Been No Increase in Acreage Productivity, and Why 

 Irrigated Land Pays Interest on a Capitalization of Two Thousand 

 Dollars an Acre. The book is one which should be of interest alike 

 to those who are actively engaged in some form of agriculture and to 

 those who are trying to solve the problem of the high cost of living. 



Malaria: Cause and Control 



By WILLIAM B. HERMS 



Illustrated. Cloth, 8vo, $1.50 net 



The awakening of the general public to the necessity and possi- 

 bility of the control of malaria, indicated by. the incessant demand 

 for information, makes the publication of Professor Herm's concise 

 treatment of the subject an important and timely event. The 

 question of malaria control is deserving of the most careful attention, 

 particularly in these days when so much is heard of the "back-to- the- 

 soil" movement. For malaria is notably a disease of rural districts. 

 Those who are familiar with the situation know very well that 

 malaria is too often responsible for farm desertion. Professor Herms 

 writes of the conditions attending the disease as he has found and 

 studied them during the past few years himself, and the suggestions 

 for control which he makes are such as he has applied and found 

 successful.
