Excerpt from The American Wheat Culturist: A Practical Treatise on the Culture of Wheat I have aimed to bring out in these pages all the facts on wheat culture that young farmers will be ambitious to know. If they will peruse this book with care, they will find an answer to nearly every question that they may wish to have answered about wheat. Although my instructions are strictly elemen tary, they are by no means superficial. Mere theories have been discarded. My aim has been to tell farmers how to raise good wheat, where their predecessors failed to get fair crops. If they follow my directions, success will crown their efforts. I have frequently referred to my first and second volumes of The Young Farmer's Manual. The first has met with an excellent reception. The second is just issued; and is follow ing the first. This Wheat Culturist may be called a third vol ume, as they are intimately connected with each other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
