Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chemistry of Agriculture: For Students and Farmers
There is at present need for a text on general agricultural chemistry which will cover the field briefly in a logical manner, giving only the facts, and not consisting of a dis connected series of quotations and tables from the very extended literature of the subject. The need for such a text has been particularly marked in teaching large classes of students at The Pennsylvania State College. As a con sequence the present book has been written. While it is intended primarily for students who have had previous training in Botany, Chemistry, Geology and Physics, it is sufficiently elementary to make it of value to any intelligent person.
Concerning some of the statements made in the text it is well known that a difference of opinion exists among authorities, but it is deemed better to present them as facts rather than to give the various arguments or to omit them altogether.
