Opis: Field and Laboratory, Studies of Crops - McCall Arthur Gillett

Excerpt from Field and Laboratory, Studies of Crops: An Elementary Manual for Students of Agriculture

There is a growing tendency in the schools toward educating children in the common things of life. In some States laws have been passed requiring the teaching of elementary agriculture in the village and rural schools. The object of this work is to interest the pupils in the practical things of country life and to give them some conception of the opportunities which surround them. A majority of the children who attend the village and rural schools will remain in the country, and it is right and proper that they should be educated in the things with which they will have to deal ever}' day of their lives.

The success of the work will depend very largely upon the teacher. Pupils are naturally interested in those things with which they are constantly in contact, and need only the encouragement of the teacher to direct their enthusiasm. In this manual a few exercises are given to illustrate some of the fundamental principles of plant growth, but the central idea throughout is the practical application of these principles to crop production and improvement. Some of the exercises are original, but many of them have been adapted from the publications of the United States Department of Agriculture and from the bulletins of the Extension Department of the Ohio State University. The writer wishes to acknowledge his deep indebtedness to his wife, Hattie F. McCall, for helpful criticisms and suggestions.
