Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Field Crops, (Exclusive of Forage Plants) For high-school use, the matter may be further abridged by the omission of the study of those particular crops that are unsuited to the locality. College students are expected to prepare all the matter in this book, including that in fine print, and all Exercises. Their instructors will probably assign additional work on the crops of chief interest to the locality. These additions will usually take the form of supplementary lectures and of collateral reading selected from the literature cited under each crop. It is scarcely necessary to point out that the use of a text book to afford at least the outline of the subject - matter on crops will enable the student to cover much more ground than would be possible if he relied exclusively on lecture notes. The use of a textbook is also advantageous to the instructor, since it permits him to devote a larger proportion of his time to supplementary lectures, which will direct in creased attention to local problems and practices, suggest methods of agricultural investigation, and discuss the most effective methods of teaching the subject of agriculture.
