Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Agriculture for High Schools The chief motive of "The Principles of Agriculture" is to show how agricultural production may be increased. Agricultural production has not kept pace with the increase in population, and it behooves the American people to utilize those factors that will make agriculture more efficient. Greater production of agricultural products at a lower cost is constantly emphasized in this book. The study of agriculture should carry over into actual farm operations. Every lesson and laboratory exercise is failing of its real value unless it creates an interest in and an appreciation of agriculture in practice, and makes our farm operations more productive. The acreage yields in the United States are already increasing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
