He Who Reads and Studies 
There is no person in the world, it matters not who he is, or 
what his lot or part in life is, that can ever fit himself to occupy 
a higher position or win a better place in the world, socially "or 
commercially, if he does not read or study. 
The great need today of agriculture is the wide dissemination 
among the people of a correct knowledge of the science and prac¬ 
tice on all farm problems. As a means of becoming acquainted 
with the details of the latest and most improved methods of farm 
practice, the farmer should read and interest himself in good books 
and literature. 
There is no excuse for the progressive farmer not owning a 
select library of good books covering his chosen field, as books to¬ 
day are sold very cheaply, enabling him to procure at small 
cost that which will give him an opportunity to advance and 
make progress for himself, his family and friends. 
On the following pages will be found a list of Standard Agri¬ 
cultural Reference Books. This list contains the most comprehen¬ 
sive, complete, concise, up-to-date and authoritative farm books 
ever published. The reader may safely follow the instructions 
.given in them, and expect to get profitable results.
