This book is the second in a series of three texts which cover the needs of students studying agriculture at the Junior Secondary Level. The topics covered emphasize both the scientific principles involved in good agriculture practice and the importance of the subject in an economic sense. Each chapter contains factual information which the teacher can lead the class through or which the students can read on their own. The inclusion of exercises and questions is a valuable aid to the teacher. These stimulate the student for work in the laboratories, encourage discussion and inspire further relevant activities outside the classroom.
