Excerpt from The Feeding of Crops and Stock: An Introduction to the Science of the Nutrition of Plants and Animals Even more than for the student, this book is intended for the workaday farmer who wants to get an intelli gent conception of how his cr0ps and stock make their growth. Complex and unknown as many of these processes are, the main outlines are sufficiently estab.' lished to have a bearing upon practice but the practical application can be more surely and readily made if the farmer, with his inside knowledge of the way things can be done, will learn the theory, than by any attempt of the scientific man striving from the outside to get up the working conditions.
