A Study Of Agricultural Writers To Ascertain The Elements Of Their Success PDF Download

Excerpt from Success in Farming: A Series of Practical Talks With Farmers It has given me pleasure to be able to present this book to the Agriculturists of this country. I have seen the great need of some practical book suited to practical farmers in our central and western states. The majority of the agricultural books that have heretofore been published, have been designed for the few who already have made the business a matter of scientific study, rather than for the man who have been deprived of these advantages. In looking about for a man who should write this book, which I intended should be the book for the people, I could think of no person more suited for the task than my friend and co-laborer, Waldo F. Brown. He has had a long, practical experience on the farm. Unaided by rich friends or college preparation, he has had to fight his own way through life. He has met the difficulties that beset the farmer, and has learned by experience just what are the needs of his brother farmers and can talk to them in their own way. Probably of all the agricultural writers of the country there are none who have a higher reputation for plain, practical writing, than Mr. Brown. The manuscript of the book I have carefully read, and in places have added as foot notes, points I thought had been omitted, or on which I disagreed. I send the book out to the world, hoping that it may lead man of our people to not only greater success in farming, but also to greater success in living.
