Excerpt from The Fertility of the Land: A Summary Sketch of the Relationship of Farm-Practice to the Maintaining and Increasing of the Productivity of the Soil

If a man has spent the greater part of his life as a teacher of agriculture and an experimenter, and has been a successful farmer at the same time, and has had the advantage of much travel, his opinions upon farm methods should be invaluable to his fellows. If, in addition to all this, he has had a philosophic turn of mind, and has persistently inquired into the reasons and results of all that he has seen, it would seem to be nothing less than a public misfortune if he should fail to leave some of his wisdom in permanent and consecutive form. At any rate, this has been my chief thought in persuading Professor Roberts to write this book. The book is, therefore, a personal one. It sets forth the author's philosophy of the means of maintaining the productivity of the land; and since the productive power of the land is the first and fundamental consideration in farming, it must follow that this book comes as near to being a treatise on agriculture as any single volume can be.
