Cocoa (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Cocoa

In writing this handbook I have done my best to make it practical.

This does not mean that the intention of the book is to teach the reader cocoa-planting, and it is not expected that any one unacquainted with cocoa-culture will become a cocoa-planter by reading the book from beginning to end.

The practical planting-work must be learned in the field, and I could quote here what has been written on the first page of Chapter VI.

Many planting operations, however, are not always well understood; often the practical man knows, how he has to treat his trees or his soil in order to get the best result, but not why. For this reason, different operations, like weeding, shading, manuring, and fermenting, have been explained more fully than is done in most agricultural handbooks.

Other subjects have been treated in detail which cannot be learned in the field, especially the varieties of cocoa, the botanical characters, and the diseases and their treatment.

It is a golden rule that the cultural methods must always be entirely dependent on local conditions.
