Excerpt from School Agriculture With Experiments and Exercises a d104-Book for Rural and Graded Schools We are now in the midst of a great agricultural awakening. The population of the United States, which is increasing so rapidly as to be out of proportion to the increase in farm products, must be supplied with food; consequently, more land must be cultivated, haphazard methods of farming must be abandoned, and better systems along all agricultural lines must prevail. The trend of agricultural development is plainly visible. Soils once depleted by systems of farming which were the results of ignorance now respond to intelligent care by yielding bountiful crops; desert lands upon which grew scattering cacti and sage brush now produce under irrigation marvelous yields of fruit, vegetables, and other products; swamp lands, once thought worthless, are being drained and furnish homes for thousands of people; even soils that contained such large amounts of harmful salts as to make the growth of common plants impossible are being acted upon by irrigation and drainage until the salts are reduced to such an extent that farming is practicable. In the past the tillers of the soil longed for the life of the city. At the present time, high prices and the attractiveness of country life cause city people to long for the farm, and "Back to the farm " is the cry.

"The course in agriculture for the rural common schools, as outlined by the committee on instruction in agriculture in its ninth report to the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, was designed to extend over two years, the seventh and eight years in schools having eight grades. The first year was to be given up to a study of plant production, and the second year to animal production and some matters concerning dairying, farm mechanics, a nd farm accounts. The experiments thus far tried in teaching agriculture in elementary schools have been directed mainly along the line of plant production; hence there is much more material in teachable form on this phase of agriculture than on any other phase. On this account, and for the further reason that a bulletin dealing with the whole subject of elementary agriculture would be so large as to preclude its wide distribution, it has been decided to limit this bulletin to exercises illustrating some of the more important principles of plant production, leaving to subsequent bulletins the application of these principles to particular crops."--Scope of the bulletin (p.8).
