This new series from Macmillan covers all aspects of agriculture over the three year Junior Secondary educational programme. The topics covered within this second volume are: plant cells and tissues, propagation of garden plants, water and nutrient requirements of plants, manures and fertilizers, properties of soils, cultivation of soils, vegetable production, goat production, pig production and mechanisation of the farm.

Many line drawings, annotated diagrams and photographs help to explain and highlight the principles and the facts described in the text. The emphasis is on the practical applications and the involvement of the student in the agricultural sciences. Both teachers and students will find this a useful approach as the need for good agricultural practice increases.
