Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Field Crops, (Exclusive of Forage Plants) There are many types of text-books in agriculture. Three types have now found their places in The Rural Text-Book Series: One type, represented by Warren's "Elements of Agriculture," expounds the general basis and practice of the agricultural pursuit; another type, represented in Lyon and Fippin's "Principles of Soil Management," presents in detail one of the large fundamental subjects; and another type, represented in the present volume, explains the reasons and practices underlying the raising of particular crops. These three honest books also represent three ranges of presentation: the Warren, a high school method; the Lyon and Fippin, a distinctly College method; and the Duggar, an intermediate method, designed for both advanced high school and college. A hook may be adapted at the same time to college work and to reading and reference by the best farmers. The practicing farmer is increasingly requesting books that give him real reasons and real facts. Text-books will increase in use among farmers, not only among those farmers who have had college instruction, but also with those who have come to their work by other routes, but who desire to proceed substantially. These text-books open new fields of observation. How many farmers really know how the roots of the wheat plant look, or what is their mode of growth, or how these roots compare with those of oats?
