NEW-WORLD AGRICULTURE SERIES 
FARM SCIENCE 
A Foundation Textbook on Agriculture 
By W. J. SPILLMAN, D. Sc. 
Formerly Chief of the U. S. Office of Farm Management 
N this new text, Professor Spillman succeeds in 
presenting the subject of agriculture compre- 
hensively yet adequately to beginning students. 
There is no attempt at being “practical” in the 
sense of teaching what is usually learned by ex- 
perience, but fundamental principles are developed 
in such a way that they will prove to be valuable 
guides in farm work anywhere. 
Problems, experiments, and exercises supplement 
the text admirably. The class exercises are par- 
ticularly significant. One that is typical requires 
a livestock census for neighborhood farms. Not 
only are the numbers and breeds of animals learned, 
but the special reasons for keeping them are in- 
quired into. The very essence of the business and 
science of farming is revealed. 
The text is illustrated with pertinent photographs, 
numerous drawings, by R. C. Steadman and J. M. 
Shull, that are of rare value, and a large soil map 
of the United States. The material throughout is 
conveniently arranged for use in the classroom. 
The language is simple and the teacher does not 
need to be an expert in agriculture to use the 
book effectively. 
Farm SCIENCE is suited for use in any grade that 
is prepared to take up the study of agriculture 
at all, and it may be read with profit by many a 
a ele man who has made farming his life 
work.
