Abstract
CONDITIONS under which farmers have to carry on their business have changed so much in the last three years that a collection of articles by well-known specialists on the most important technical aspects of agriculture is particularly welcome. The approach to the various problems of production has been influenced by the complete change in the situation in Great Britain as regards the proportion of land under the plough, the very small amount of purchased feeding stuffs available, control of the purchase and use of fertilizers, etc. An authoritative handbook of this kind helps efficient farming by presenting essential and up-to-date information drawn not only from the results of experiments and research but also from the experience of war-time farming.
