Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Agricultural Chemistry In this hook the author aims to present the fundamental principles of agricultural chemistry. The point of view is that of the chemist dealing with agricultural problems; the attempt is made to emphasize chemical methods of investigation, and inculcate scientific habits of thought. Details are omitted so far as they are not necessary to the proper treatment of the subject. Practical applications, which are necessarily local, are left out as much as possible. The book thus treats of agricultural chemistry rather than of chemical agriculture. It attempts to give a comprehensive view of the subject, and to prepare the student for a more detailed study of its various phases. This book is based upon lectures given for a number of years to students in Agriculture at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. A number of references arc given, some of which do not refer to the articles in which the facts were first published, but to articles of interest or of value to the student, which may contain numerous references to the literature of the subject. It was not deemed desirable nor was it practical, to give references for all the statements made in the text. The author is fully aware of the fact that there is room for differences of opinion as to what should be treated or omitted in a work of this character. He also realizes the difficulty of avoiding errors, and will be grateful to the reader who may bring errors to his attention, or offer suggestions for the improvement of the book. Valuable assistance has been received from Mr. S. E. Asbury. Assistant State Chemist, and especially Dr. C. P. Fountain, Professor of English.
