Excerpt from First Principles of Agriculture
The great importance of the practical element in education has gained almost universal recognition during the past few years, and to-day educators are practically unanimous in emphasizing its necessity. Both from utilitarian motives and in recognition of the value of applied knowledge as a disciplinary study, they are urging the introduction of studies which pertain to the life arid environment of the child. The mental exercise or discipline derived from such studies is much greater than is usually accredited to them, as the material of study is ever present, constantly stimulating the mind to activity.
The latest demand is for the introduction of the Principles of Agriculture in the rural schools. There are special reasons for the introduction of this study. The education of the country boy and girl has been "away from the farm and toward the factory" and the city. The study of civics, of geography, of history and of biography has created ideals of greatness that find their expression only in city life. Even the so-called "Nature Study" has been largely sentimental and urban in its leanings. The result has been a continual and constantly increasing exodus of the most thoughtful and enterprising young men and young women of our rural districts to the city.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by the late Professor of Horticulture at the University of Wisconsin, E. S. Goff and Principal of the School of Agriculture, D. D. Mayne is a seminal agricultural text, offering a comprehensive guide to the principles of agriculture for students and practitioners alike. It explains biological facts in a way that is easily understood by ordinary individuals, particularly focusing on clover and its remarkable nitrogen-fixing capabilities. The authors argue that to improve the health of America's agriculture, it must become more intellectualized, with farmers understanding the biological processes behind their practices so that they can make informed decisions to improve their yields. By understanding the science of agriculture and the role of plants in the ecosystem, farmers can optimize their crop production, reduce waste, and protect the environment. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind agriculture.
