Excerpt from Seeing America, Vol. 1: Farm and FieldTo present such a volume has been our task. We have tried to weave into a story of elemental human interest the maximum information about the production of raw materials, about the difficulties and dangers men endure in order to furnish their fellows with the necessities of life, about the wonders of modern machinery, about man's natural enemies in farm, forest, and field, and about the need of conserving our natural resources. The nice problem of balancing story interest against solid information seems to have been solved pretty well, but, of course, the final verdict rests with teachers and pupils.Grateful acknowledgment is made to chambers of commerce, to editors of farm magazines, and to agricultural colleges too numer ous to mention by name here. These institutions have supplied us with a precious fund of special information more minute than is to be found in the usual reference books. Only a little of it all appears on the, surface of the narrative.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
