Preface

THE FARM THAT WON'T WEAR OUT

WAS FIRST published serially in THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, the privilege having been granted the

author of subsequent publication. It is now issued in book form in response to numerous requests coming

especially from the Central, Eastern, and Southern States.

CYRIL G. HOPKINS.

1001 South Wright Street,

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.

"Population must increase rapidly, more rapidly than in former times, and ere long the most valuable of all

arts will be the art of deriving a comfortable subsistence from the smallest area of soil."Lincoln.

"It is not the land itself that constitutes the farmer's wealth, but it is in the constituents of the soil, which serve

for the nutrition of plants, that this wealth truly consists."Liebig.

CHAPTER I. WHAT GOES TO MAKE UP PERMANENT FERTILITY

IT IS an old saying that "any fool can farm," and this was almost the truth when farming consisted chiefly in

reducing the fertility of new, rich land secured at practically no cost from a generous Government. But to

restore depleted soils to high productive power in economic systems is no fool's job, for it requires mental as

well as muscular energy; and no apologies should be expected from those who necessarily make use of

technical terms in the discussion of this technical subject, notwithstanding the common foolish advice that

farmers should be given a sort of "parrot" instruction in almost baby language instead of established facts and

principles in definite and permanent scientific terms. The farmer should be as familiar with the names of the

ten essential elements of plant food as he is with the names of his ten nearest neighbors. Safe and permanent

systems of soil improvement and preservation may come with intelligencenever with ignoranceon the part

of the landowners.
