Principles of Australian Agriculture (Classic Reprint)

In 1892, the then Minister forE ducation and Agriculture inS outh Australia convened a conference of members of Parliament, the editors of the leading papers, agriculturists and educationists, to discuss the best means for promoting agricultural education. The writer was chairman of the committee appointed to draw up a scheme. A mong the recommendations adopted by the conference was one affirming the necessity for a text book on Australian agriculture. The duty of preparing such a book was many times urged upon the writer, and he in turn endeavoured to induce others to undertake it; but after nearly twenty years the work remained undone. The author has now attempted to meet the want. The task has proved even greater than was anticipated, for new ground had to be broken with no examples to follow or avoid. In addition, the requirements of at least three classes of readers had to be considered within the limits of one small book. If the writer has not wholly succeeded, his effort may at least stimulate others, and make the way easier for them.
