Excerpt from Culture, Agriculture, Orchard Culture and the Utility of Weeds In publishing this little book on the proper cultivation of the soil we have called to our assistance some of the best agricultural writers of the country. To J. H. Hale, of South Glastonbury, Ct., the largest and most successful peach grower in the country, we are indebted for the general article on the cultivation of orchards. The article on growing corn is written by John Gould, of Aurora, Ohio, who is a well-known writer on this subject. The successful growing of corn is what is being sought after now by the farmers of every state in the Union, to whom Mr. Gould's article will be found very worthy of consideration. The article on potato culture and proper tilling of the ground for same is by T. B. Terry, of Hudson, Ohio, whose articles are too well known to comment on. We are indebted to the Practical Farmer of Philadelphia for their kindness to us in the preparation of this article.
