THE SOIL 



AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF 

 THE GROWTH OF CROPS. With Diagrams. 5s. net 



"The volume may be described as the best we have on this particular 

 subject, and as the soil, even in its scientific aspect -and Mr. Hall makes a 

 point of writing for tlie layman as well as for the expert— merits the serious 

 consideration of the farmer no less than that of the student, the book should 

 have a wide circulation. The farmer may learn much from a study of its 

 pages that will be of ser\-ice to him in cultivating and manuring his land, and 

 to the student the book is indispensable." — Fi'eUf.

"... In regard to a question of this sort, Rothamsted stands upon a level 

 by itself. It is the centre of scientific investigation of matters pertaining to 

 the land, and Mr. Hall has in the pages of his handsome volume shed the 

 radiating light of the world-renowned station upon the intricacies of soil 

 management with telling effect." — Fiehi.

 dence in be-speaking for it high appreciation alike by farmers and students "
