Book Overview

""High Farming Without Manure: Six Lectures on Agriculture"" is a book written by George Ville and first published in 1878. The book contains six lectures on the subject of agriculture, specifically on the topic of high-yield farming without the use of manure. Ville was a French agronomist who believed that manure was not necessary for successful farming and that it could even be detrimental to soil health. In the book, Ville outlines his theories and methods for achieving high crop yields through the use of mineral fertilizers and other techniques. The lectures cover topics such as the composition of soil, the role of minerals in plant growth, and the importance of crop rotation. Ville also discusses the use of irrigation, drainage, and other techniques to improve soil quality and crop yields. The book was influential in its time and is still considered a classic in the field of agriculture. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in sustainable farming practices and the history of agriculture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
