   "I have the revised & expanded Hands-On Agronomy book.  The pages of this 
    book are worn and ear-marked from long hours of reading and studying the
    contents.  I have read numerous books on soil fertility and the use of fertilizers
    but Hands-On Agronomy is "head & shoulders" above the rest and it makes 
    total sense."                       W. E. "Hoss" Hopping, Coweta, OK

   "What a wonderful revelation your book has been..... only now has light come
     streaming in - from your pen."                           John Fair, South Africa

   "... I have read your book three times and I pick up more every time I read 
     through it.   I have read many a fertility manual but you bring everything
     together in a very straightforward manner that is very easy to understand,
     and I consider this information beyond anything that I could have received,
     even the most advanced college courses.   Again, thank you."
                                                                 Jerry Cordell, Sedgwick, Kansas

   "This may be the first hands-on manual to address the real problem of ecologically
     sound agriculture with a system that does not pollute land, water or food 
     resources."                                                         Acres USA (magazine)

   "Congratulations on your book "Hands-On Agronomy".  You've taken the complex
     subject of soil physics, chemistry, and biology and put it into an easy to 
     understand, common-sense format."                       John McLean, Florida

      Application of the Bouche-Thomas method of growing and
      managing fruit orchards.   The Bouche-Thomas system aims
      for quality and yield at reduced cost and has three characteristic
      features:
            . planting the tree at 30° angle;
            . adventitious rooting of the scion;
            . no pruning.

        SOIL FERTILITY AND ANIMAL HEALTH 
                (The Albrecht Papers, Vol 2) 
                                                      William A. Albrecht, Ph.D.
                                                        Edited Charles Walters, Jr.
    
 Dr.Albrecht was one of the premier soil scientists of his day, and still is to this
 day.  The Albrecht Papers comprise a classic study of soil fertility and its relation
 to crop health and animal health.  The value of Dr.Albrecht's work is being
 increasingly appreciated by growers today. 
 
   Topics include:
       Nature's Soil Pattern for Health
         Only Balanced Soil Fertility Grows Balanced Rations
         Nutritious Feeds via Soil Fertility
         Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and their effects in plants and animals
         Crops Must Grow Their Own Organic Matter
         The Significance of Trace Elements
         Problems of the Proteins
         Impoverished Soils, Poor Animal Health, and Economics
 
 
     This is a great book for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the
key concepts of the Albrecht soil fertility approach.   Use this book to understand
the depths of how well the program Dr.Albrecht helped to develop really works
in the field for improving both plant and animal nutrition.   It should be read in 
order to glean the most from Hands-On Agronomy and other books that
promote this system.

     We recommend that whoever plans to take our Advanced Soil Fertility
Course first read this book, and 'Eco Farm', for a better understanding of the
principles that are utilized in that course.
                 Softcover, 192 pages.   $20 post paid, to U.S. addresses only.
