Synopsis
Excerpt from Plant Production, Vol. 12: Part I, Agronomy; Part II, Horticulture
This series of agricultural texts is based on the theory that the successful farmer should know the physical and biological forces with which he has to contend; that he should understand the laws under which these forces operate; and that he should acquire some skill in directing them. He should ultimately become able to adjust and correlate these forces so as to bring them all under the orderly operation of economic law. In conformity with the above theory this series has been made to cover the following fundamental divisions:
The science and art of producing agricultural plants.
The production, care, and management of farm animals.
The establishment and conservation of soil fertility, with the chemistry of the same in relation to plant and animal production.
The proper balance and combination of these three aspects of agricultural production, in the business management of the farm.
What Vocational Agriculture Demands. - Vocational training in agriculture should differ from trade instruction in one most important regard: trade training develops skilled workers for the various branches of an industry; it neither develops, nor aims to develop, factory managers. It usually deals with parts of the construction, less frequently with the finished product, and more rarely still with the management of the manufacturing plant. Vocational agriculture, on the other hand, must train for the operation of the whole plant, as the farm is a unit in itself.
