About this book
Charles L. Goodrich, a farmer and expert at the Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington, built this farming textbook around one idea: plant roots need a firm, mellow, moist, warm and ventilated soil supplied with plant food. The first two chapters lead to those conditions, soils are studied alongside roots, and the other parts of the plant follow in order of importance.
The last ten chapters turn to farm operations and how each affects soil fertility. Simple experiments for students are placed throughout the text. The preface is dated January 1905.
