Soil and Sense

Abstract

THIS is a most fascinating and instructive book. Its author lays no claim to be either a farmer or a man of science. Yet this illuminating little treatise on several outstanding aspects of modern husbandry contains much stimulating food for thought for those engaged in, or inclined to embark upon, agricultural pursuits; and if ‘Organized common sense’ is still a permissible definition of science, it may not unjustly be included among the manuals of science, as applied to our most vital industry.

Soil and Sense

By Michael Graham. Pp. 274. (London: Faber and Faber, Ltd., 1941.) 7s. 6d. net.
