Issued as Bulletin No. 36 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, this handbook presents an official period account of manures and their use in agriculture. It considers the place of plant nutrients in maintaining productive land and the practical questions surrounding the materials used to supply them. The subject is approached from the needs of working farms, connecting the condition of the soil with the demands of crops and grassland. This 1937 edition also offers a glimpse into agricultural publishing before the Second World War, including the language and priorities of contemporary farm guidance. A useful addition to a collection of rural reference works, it will appeal to readers interested in the development of fertiliser use and agricultural practice.
