Abstract
THE introduction of agricultural schools and colleges into countries where agriculture has hitherto been nothing more than a tradition must inevitably lead to the production of a number of text-books specially written for particular countries. Although the same broad principles hold everywhere, the factors coming into play are so numerous that the student cannot apply the principles to particular cases until he has had considerable experience in the analysis of agricultural problems. He must, indeed, learn his principles through the local practices, and no matter how sound a book may be, its usefulness is very limited unless it is well furnished with local applications.
