The Principles Of Soil Management Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Principles of Soil Management In 1895 the preface was written for the Rural Science Series. It set forth the purpose of the Series to be the desire to place in readable form the best results of scientific thought and discovery relating to agriculture and country life, in order that the general public might be made aware of the progress, and that farmers might be led more effectively to apply the information in their daily work. It was the hope that the Series, under the present writer's direction or another's, might gradually extend itself to the whole range of agricultural scientific literature. The books now included in The Rural Science Series are about two dozen, making nearly two volumes, on the average, for each year. The number of writers on agricultural topics is increasing, the knowledge on all subjects is rapidly accumulating, and the reading-public is gradually enlarging; there is every reason to expect, therefore, that the Series will extend itself still more rapidly in the years to come. It was considered to be an auspicious circumstance that the Rural Science Series began with a book on the soil, for this grounded the enterprise.

Excerpt from The Soil: Its Nature, Relations, and Fundamental Principles of Management The rural industries have taken on a new and quickened life in consequence of the recent teachings and applications of science. Agriculture is no longer a mere empiricism, not a congeries of detached experiences, but it rests upon an irrevocable foundation of laws. These fundamental laws or principles are numerous and often abstruse, and they are interwoven into a most complex fabric; but we are now able to understand their general purport, and we can often trace precisely the course of certain minor principles in problems which, a few years ago, seemed to be hopelessly obscure, and which, perhaps, were considered to lie outside the sphere of investigation. Agriculture has developed into a system of clear and correct thinking; and inasmuch as every mans habit of thought is determined greatly by the accuracy of his knowledge, it follows that the successful prosecution of rural pursuits is largely a subjective matter. It is therefore fundamentally important that every rural occupation should be contemplated from the point of view of its underlying reasons. It should be approached in a philosophic spirit.

Excerpt from Soil Management This volume is the outgrowth of the remarkable soil investigations of the late F. H. King of the University of Wisconsin. Professor King had projected a book on Soil Management many years ago. For the past ten years he had been assembling mate rial with this idea in mind. His fintimely death prevented the fulfillment of this pur pose, but fortunately for the agricultural and scientific world his widow, Mrs. C. B. King, has brought together such of his papers and lectures as contain materials that he would have worked into an organized form. His study of Chinese, Korean and Japanese agriculture was part of his plan for the work on Soil Management, which he was unwilling to put forth until he knew something of this oldest management with its present marvelous results.

Excerpt from The Management of the Soil The soil is the source of all agricultural products. To his knowledge of it and its management the farmer must owe much of his success. It is important then, that the principles underlying soil management should be given a definite and thorough study at the beginning of the course in Agriculture. It has been our aim to set forth the essential principles of the management of the soil in such a manner that the student may grasp them at the outset. It is intended that the students shall carefully work out the experiments and problems for themselves, especially those adapted to the region in which the school is located. Such work will mean infinitely more than lectures by the teacher and will be much longer remembered. We know that there are different opinions upon some of these topics, but we have tried to give only those con elusions verified by experience or supported by authorities which are among the best. We are indebted to Dr. John A. Widtsoe, president of the University of Utah, and a widely known authority on agriculture in the irrigated and the dry-farming regions of the West, for the reading of the manuscript, and for helpful suggestions.
