OF KINDRED INTEREST 



The Farmer of To-morrow 



By F. I. ANDERSON C/of^ '^"'o, $1.50 



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

 the land" movement. It is the purpose of this boolc to crystal- 

 lize and to make practical all of the vague generalizations which 

 have so far been expressed on this subject. To this end the 

 first part of Mr. Anderson's book is given over to a considera- 

 tion 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 Un- 

 productive, Why the Farmer of Yesterday is Rich, Why There 

 Has Been No Increase in Acreage Productivity, and Why Irri- 

 gated 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 agricul- 

 ture and to those who are trying to solve the problem of the 

 high cost of living. 



Malaria : Cause and Control 



By WILLIAM B. HERMS Ilhutrated, cloth, 8vo, $1.^0 



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

 bility of the control of malaria, indicated by the incessant de- 

 mand for information, makes the publication of Professor 

 Herms'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 ma- 

 laria 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 sugges- 

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

 found successful.
