The Elements of Agriculture A Book for Young Farmers, with Questions Prepared for the Use of Schools

"The Elements of Agriculture" by George E. Waring is an educational book designed for young farmers and schools, that introduces the science behind farming in a way that is easy to understand. The book starts by highlighting why it's important to know about the principles of agriculture and that it's more than just chemical stuff, but rather a useful guide on nature and how it affects farming by connecting scientific principles to everyday farming practices. It touches on the chemical stuff that makes up plants and the importance of good soil, and then it sets the stage to go further explaining how farming works. It also shows how farming and society are connected, promoting knowledge-based farming that understands the link between nature and nurture.
