Opis: Farm Crops - Burkett Charles William

Excerpt from Farm Crops: A Practical Treatise on the Growing of American Field, Crops: Containing Brief and Popular Advice on the Seeding, Cultivating, Handling and Marketing of Farm Crops, and on the Management of Lands for the Largest Returns

In the aggregate the farmer's annual wealth is nearly $9,000,000,000. Last year it was $869,000,000 above that of 1908, $1,159,000,000 above that of 1907, $1,023,000,000 above that of 1906, $1,469,000,000 above that of 1905, $1,619,000,000 above that of 1904, $1,861,000,000 above that of 1903 and $3,061,000,000 above the census year of 1899. In a decade the value of farm products has doubled. Too frequently national prosperity is gauged by the activities of the cities. Extend Broadway across the continent and broaden it until the Canadian border is touched and carry the same construction to the Gulf and in six months if agriculture be abandoned, as it necessarily would be, the buildings would be tenantless, the banks would be doing no business and just about all the people either would be dead or starving. Much of our national greatness, therefore, is dependent upon the kind of crops raised and upon their average acre yield.

This book is concerned with the field crops raised on American farms. It contains the best ideas gathered from various authorities and the experience of many practical men in all lines of crop production. The illustrations that accompany the text have been selected for their instructional value. All of the drawings have been made by Mr. B. F. Williamson, to whom grateful appreciation is expressed.
