Excerpt from Manual of General Agriculture

The experiments in this manual represent actual work done by the author's classes during several years teaching of the subject of general agriculture in High Schools in Northern and Southern California. There is sufficient material to occupy the laboratory time of a High School class at least four periods a week for one year. Not all the exercises are suitable for any one locality, but nearly all can be used any place. The manual is not intended to displace any text.

A satisfactory plan for conducting a course in general agriculture is to have each student own a manual and have the school furnish the references to accompany it. As the recitations do not occur every day, one book for three students will be found sufficient. Usually the local library will supply a portion of the books needed. A list of references will be found in the back of this manual.

A note book containing a record of each exercise performed should be kept by the student. The following form is suggested:

Number and statement of exercise.
Exercise.
Result.
Conclusion.

It is unnecessary for the student to copy materials. At the beginning of nearly all the exercises will be found a list of materials needed, but special attention is called to the following, the materials for which cannot be obtained at once: 46, 56, 57, 58, 59, 62, 63, 64, 67, 68, 69.

The author wishes to express his thanks for council and material contributed by Principal E. L. Mitchel, Professors W. T. Clarke, R. H. Loughridge, A. D. MacGillivray, H. H. Whetzel, C. S. Wilson, E. G. Montgomery, Messrs. A. R. Tyler, Geo. C. Roeding and Miss May Kimble. The cuts under Budding and Grafting were taken from Farmers' Bulletin No. 157. With slight changes, exercises 31, 32, 33, 34, 45, 46, 47 and 50 are by Prof. F. E. Edwards.
