Download or read book Lessons on Soil (Classic Reprint) written by Edward J. Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons on Soil The book is intended to help children to study nature; there is no attempt to substitute book study for nature study. Hence, whilst there are passages of continuous reading, it is not a mere reader. Many teachers, myself among them, have felt the difficulty of organising practical work for large classes. Dr Russell has written so that, whilst nominally showing the pupil how to learn, he is secretly scattering hints for the teacher who is learning how to teach. Abundant and varied practical exercises have been suggested, and careful instructions have been given so that the book shall seem intelligible even in the absence of a teacher. The proposed practical work is not only what might be done by eager boys and girls on half-holidays, but what can be done by every scholar in the course of ordinary school work. The pictorial illustrations are intended as aids to observation, not as substitutes. Drawing is one form of practical exercise, and the preparation of corresponding illustrations in the scholars' notebooks from the apparatus used in the classroom and the fields around the school may afi'ord exercises in artistic work with pen, brush or camera. Sufficient directions are given for the supply of necessary materials and apparatus. The apparatus pro posed is of the simplest character. It is suggested that the book will be found most useful in the higher standards of elementary schools, in preparatory schools and in the lower forms of secondary schools, that is, where the ages of scholars average from 12 to 14.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's Book on Soils and Manures Whatever kind of farming a man is going in for, he depends in the last instance either on his own soil or on somebody else's, and unless he thoroughly understands the principles of soil management he will not be very successful in the crop production part of his work. These principles can of course be acquired by experience, but the process is likely to be costly, and the young farmer of to-day is invited to attend Farm Institutes or Colleges where he can be taught them and be thus spared some of the bitterness of the older method. By learning something about the soil and about fertilisers he will be in a position to attain greater success in his farming. But the man who simply studies the subject to make a little more money will miss nine-tenths of the pleasure of the work and of the joy of farming. The soil is to be regarded not simply as a mine out of which a little wealth may be extracted, but as a part of Nature, just as wonderful and as worthy of study as any other part.

Download or read book Lessons on Soil written by Edward J. Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons on Soil The Syndics of the Cambridge University Press propose to issue a Nature Study Series of which this is the first volume. We count ourselves fortunate in securing Dr E. J. Russell as author and Soil as subject. The subject is fundamental, for, just as the soil lies beneath the plant and animal life wt see, so is a knowledge of the soil necessary for all understanding of flora and fauna. The real complexity of the apparently simple element Earth, and the variety of methods required for exploring it, are typical of the problems which the tout ensemble of the outdoor world presents to the naturalist. Dr E. J. Russell has not only acquired a first-rate and first-hand knowledge of his subject at Wye and at Rothamsted; his own researches have recently extended our knowledge of the micro-organisms in the soil and their influence on fertility. Further, what is very much to our purpose, he has himself had practical experience in teaching at an elementary school in Wye and at a secondary school in Harpenden. Just at the present moment, County Councils are trying to push rural education and to awaken the intelligence of country children by interesting them in their surroundings. It is, therefore, a favourable opportunity to offer these pages as a concrete suggestion in model lessons and object lessons, showing exactly what can be done under existing conditions.

Book Synopsis Soils, How to Handle and Improve Them (Classic Reprint) by : S. W. Fletcher
Download or read book Soils, How to Handle and Improve Them (Classic Reprint) written by S. W. Fletcher and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils, How to Handle and Improve Them Many of the early books on farming were written in a technical style. They smacked of the lecture room and the library rather than of the soil. They were scholarly rather than practical. A spirit of directness and simplicity is beginning to dominate agricultural literature. The modern type of farm books is born of actual contact with the soil and a desire to be of service to the men who are getting a living from the soil. They are democratic; they discuss common things in a plain way. The long and tedious tables of figures in the old books are giving place to crisp summaries. The technical lecture-room phrases are replaced by words in common use on farms. The idea is not to present less science - for nothing is so practical as sound science - but to present science in a simple and practical way. This new spirit is contemporaneous with the farmers' institute, the farmer's reading-course, Nature-study, elementary agriculture in the public schools and other efforts to serve the man who tills the soil. It is an expression of a general movement which aims to democracise agricultural teaching. This book is an attempt to set forth the important facts about the soil in a plain and untechnical manner. It is not a contribution to agricultural science, but an interpretation of it - a new presentation of what is already known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soils and Their Properties The recognition of the work done by micro-organisms marks a most important advance in our knowledge of the phenomena involved in the metabolism (gr. Metabole, change) of the' soil. Hitherto, investigation has been directed rather to the determination of the immediate effects of soil metabolism in pro'moting the nutrition of plants. But it is at least possible that the biological fac tors in metabolic activity may eventually be proved to be not less potent than the physical and chemical agents in effecting the disintegration of rocks, and thus in restoring to the soil those mineral ingredients which are undergoing incessant loss. Our knowledge of the biology of the soil is hardly yet in a sufficiently settled condition to be made the subject of an elementary manual. All that is attempted, there fore, In 'the following pages is to trace soils back to their parent rocks, to indicate some of their more important physical and chemical properties, and to give a brief account of the distribution Of soils within the British Isles. It is proposed to follow this Volume with another, in the same series, upon the practical management of the soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organic Constituents of Soils The reports on the various phases of soil studies by the investigators who have preceded me in this symposium must have impressed you with the fact that the subject of soil fertility and infertility is by no means a simple matter of arithmetic, which involves only a few of the mineral constituents of the soil. It must also have become clear to you that the problem of soil fertility or infertility has not been solved by the application of these simple arithmetical means based on soil analysis or by the crop statistics accumulated in the years which have elapsed since Liebig first announced his views on soil fertility, which gamed for him for all time the title of "Father of Agricultural Chemistry." It is particularly gratifying to me, since I am to talk to you to-day on the subject of the organic constituents of soils, their chemical nature and other properties, that Liebig is also known as the "Father of Organic Chemistry." To what tremendous proportions and significance in the worlds industries and science this child of his (Organic Chemistry) has grown is familiar to all of you, and I assure you that Liebig, were he to return to-day, would be proud of its parentage. But I fear he would be displeased with his other child, as having made so little progress in the intervening years, although he started it in life strong and virile and full of promise. Up to a few years ago agriculture had not shared in the great impulses which modern science has given to other arts and industries, and the domination of the mineral-requirement theory proposed in the first half of the last century and accepted without adequate proof of its validity is largely responsible for the lack of development in agriculture, commensurate with the enormous strides of other arts and industries under the guidance of modern scientific thought and research. But a new era of scientific inquiry is at hand, and all phases of scientific endeavor are being applied to the solution of the problems connected with soil fertility and infertility - lines of endeavor which were not even known in Liebig's time, but which to-day are well-recognized factors in soil fertility.

Book Synopsis Principles of Soil Microbiology (Classic Reprint) by : Selman Abraham Waksman
Download or read book Principles of Soil Microbiology (Classic Reprint) written by Selman Abraham Waksman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Soil Microbiology This book is a collection of known facts concerning microorganisms found in the soil and their activities; it is a study of the literature dealing with the science in question; it is an interpretation of the facts already presented; it indicates the various lines of investigation and notes where further information is especially wanted. Soil microbiology is a science which is at the very base of our understanding of agricultural processes and the practice of agriculture; it comprises a number of sciences. The book may, therefore, be looked upon more as an introduction to further research rather than as an ordinary text-book; as of help to those work ing in the allied sciences, who are desirous of obtaining some information concerning the soil population and its activities. If this volume will help to disclose to the reader some of the numerous interrelated processes in the soil, if it will present in a clearer light to the chemist, the physiologist, the botanist, the bacteriologist and the zoologist the nature of the many scientific and practical problems awaiting the investigator, if it contributes in a small measure toward making soil science an exact science, the author will feel that he has been amply rewarded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Physics Laboratory Manual These practices are the result of ten years' experience in teaching soil physics, and are designed for one semester's work, during which it is hoped to give the student a knowledge of the principles that underlie many common agricultural operations. In a number of practices students may work together in groups, not so large, however, but that each one may have a distinct problem to work out in each practice. This plan will enable the class to complete the work in one semester, which otherwise might not be possible. Questions are asked and references given to enable the student to get the greatest amount of information possible out of each practice. An appendix of additional practices is added for students who wish to pursue the subject further. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Protection and Soil Improvement The need of complete information in one handy volume, in other words a ready reference book, covering the various phases pertaining to the Protection and Improvement of our soils, influenced the author in compiling the subject matter herewith set forth. The value of tile underdrainage in the up-building of the farm lands was considered of such vital importance that it is treated at length, showing the treatment and the results obtained in different types of soils. Then, too, since the farmer is deeply interested in all matters relating to the growing and handling of their crops, he should be great ly concerned in the proper expenditure of the public moneys for road building and in the securing for himself and his neigh bors the best possible returns for such expenditure. The proper drainage of our highways has received less attention than the drainage of the farm. The lack of it, has resulted in the destruction of all kinds of roads and an inexcusable waste of money. In fact injury resulting from lack of drain age is greater than injury from trafiic.. The demand for better roads invites a study and knowledge as to how the money expended may not be lost. No class of taxpayers is more concerned than the farmer in the building of our roads so they will last. Hence, a portion of this book is given over to the subject of the Improvement of Our Rural Highways and an urgent appeal for earnest cooperation on the part of the farmer, for only through same can our people correct the present evil and make possible better conditions of traffic and the handling of the crops.
