Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises in Principles of Agriculture The work as presented in this manual had its beginning in at least two independent sources: (1) The method of preparing detailed exercises for teaching elementary general agriculture in secondary schools had its origin largely in the teaching and direction of H. B. Brownell, Professor of School Sciences, University of Nebraska. (2) The idea of prepar ing laboratory exercises in field crops and making available to schools the necessary supplies for teaching the same, Originated ten or twelve years ago with Professor's E. G. Mont'gomery and T. L. Lyon, both' formerly of Nebraska, but now at Cornell University. The manual of these two teachers, Examining and Grading Grains, has done much to encourage and syste matize laboratory study in field crops throughout the United States. It was largely the de mand for field crop material created by this manual which revived into life the abandonedidea of supplying field crop laboratory material which had formerly been carried on by the Department of Agronomy of the University of Nebraska. Without the use of ideas from these two sources, the work as presented in this manual could scarcely have been possible. Most of the laboratory exercises presented in this manual have passed through several mimeographed editions, and have been used in one or more of the following Nebraska schools: Teachers' College High School, Lincoln; School of Agriculture, Lincoln; School of Agriculture, Curtis. Laboratory instruction as here outlined is designed to accompany classroom instruction. A division of time that will probably fit most schools is as follows.
