What do we really understand of the internal events and forces responsible for their upward thrust towards the heavens, and on what conditions do these energies depend? Where do they come from and how do they...	Viktor Schauberger
A Review of Investigations in Soil Bacteriology Soil fertility, broadly interpreted, denotes the crop-producing power of any soil under given climatic conditions, and is itself the resultant of many forces often opposed to one another. It is no easy task to establish the correlation of these several forces, and to assign to each its true position...	Edward B. Voorhees, D.Sc.
Forage Crops: For Soiling, Silage, Hay and Pasture This work is intended to give brief and practical farming suggestions that will be helpful in the growing and using of forage crops. Special attention has been given to soiling crops and to rotations, in order to suggest a continuous supply of forage throughout the growing season, a subject...	Edward B. Voorhees, D.Sc.
