Excerpt from Farm Forestry: A d104 Book; Dealing With the Wooded Parts of Southern Farms, and the Problems Growing Out of Them, for Use in Agricultural High, Schools and Colleges More than half of the area of farm holdings in Georgia is in woods; and more than half of the wooded area of the State is in farm holdings. The future of the forests of the State depends largely on the attitude of the farmers towards the wooded parts of their holdings. With a view to influencing their attitude, lectures on forestery were begun many years ago at the State College of Agriculture at Athens by Dr. H. C. White. These lectures were incidental to the courses in agricultural chemistry, forestry being taken up in its bearing on soil conservation. When I was elected Professor of Forestry in 1906, Dr. White turned over this work to me. The lectures have been extended into a course of three months for the One-Year students and a course of half a year for the Seniors. The following text is an outline of these courses. My chief purpose in writing it is to save a part of the time spent by the students in taking and copying lecture notes. But the problems discussed should also be of interest to those who are managing farms; and while some of them may not find all of the suggestions practicable, in the conditions existing on their farms, they will find that a part of them are practicable, and as the market and other conditions change with the industrial development of the country, they will find that more of these suggestions can be carried out. The teachers in the District Agricultural Schools and other rural schools may find the book helpful in connection with their courses in farm management or nature study.

Excerpt from Forestry for Farmers The following five chapters have been written with the view of aiding farmers who own small timber tracts or wood lots, or who wish to plant some part of their land to forest. This country varies so greatly in soil, climate, and flora that it is only possible, within the limits assigned for the present discussion, to outline general principles everywhere applicable. Nevertheless, wherever suggestions have approximated the laying down of rules of practice, the writer has had mainly in mind the conditions prevalent in our northeastern States. Moreover, for the reason already referred to, limitation of space, it has not been possible to give more than a comprehensive view, without much detail. The succeeding chapters should be read connectedly, as they are more or less interdependent. The first treats of the behavior of a forest plant; the second, of the principles which should guide the planter in setting a crop; the third, of the manner in which a natural forest crop should be produced; the fourth points out how the crop should be managed afterwards in order to secure the best results in quantity and quality of material; while the fifth chapter is devoted to a consideration of the relation of forests to farms. 1. How Trees Grow. Trees, like most other plants, originate from seed, build up a body of cell tissues, form foliage, flower, and fruit, and take up food material from the soil and air, which they convert into cellulose and other compounds, from which all their parts are formed. They rely, like other plants, upon moisture, heat, and light as the means of performing the functions of growth. Yet there are some peculiarities in their behavior, their life and growth, which require special attention on the part of a tree grower or forest planter, and these we shall briefly discuss. Food Materials And Conditions Of Growth. Trees derive their food and solid substance in part from the air and in part from the soil. The solid part of their bodies is made up of cellulose, which consists largely of carbon(44 percent of its weight), with hydrogen and oxygen added in almost the same proportions as in water.

Although few Americans work as farmers these days, agriculture on the whole remains economically importantâ€"playing a key role in such contemporary issues as consumer health and nutrition, worker safety and animal welfare, and environmental protection. This publication provides a comprehensive picture of the primary education system for the nation's agriculture industry: the land grant colleges of agriculture. Colleges of Agriculture at the Land Grant Universities informs the public debate about the challenges that will shape the future of these colleges and serves as a foundation for a second volume, which will present recommendations for policy and institutional changes in the land grant system. This book reviews the legislative history of the land grant system from its establishment in 1862 to the 1994 act conferring land grant status on Native American colleges. It describes trends that have shaped agriculture and agricultural education over the decadesâ€"the shift of labor from farm to factory, reasons for and effects of increased productivity and specialization, the rise of the corporate farm, and more. The committee reviews the system's three-part missionâ€"education, research, and extension serviceâ€"and through this perspective documents the changing nature of funding and examines the unique structure of the U.S. agricultural research and education system. Demographic data on faculties, students, extension staff, commodity and funding clusters, and geographic specializations profile the system and identify similarities and differences among the colleges of agriculture, trends in funding, and a host of other issues. The tables in the appendix provide further itemization about general population distribution, student and educator demographics, types of degree programs, and funding allocations. Concise commentary and informative graphics augment the detailed statistical presentations. This book will be important to policymakers, administrators, educators, researchers, and students of agriculture.
