Crops and Methods for Soil Improvement by Alva Agee (1858 - 1943).

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/crops-and-methods-for-soil-improvement-by-alva-agee/
This book is not a technical treatise and is designed only to point out the plain, every-day facts in the natural scheme of making and keeping soils productive. It is concerned with the crops, methods, and fertilizers that favor the soil. The viewpoint, all the time, is that of the practical man who wants cash compensation for the intelligent care he gives to his land...Experiment stations and practical farmers have developed a dependable science within recent years, and there is no jarring of observed facts when we get hold of the simple philosophy of it all. ( From the Introduction)

  2. Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/23682
    .
  3. Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
    .
    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

    • Say:

    .
    For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:

    • If you wish, say:
      "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"

    • At the end of the book, say (in addition):

    There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.

Note to my future MC - the template auto filled with an author named James Gillespie Magee, Jr, which I thought I had fixed before generating it. I've updated all references to the correct author, but I imagine there'll be some behind the scenes thing that needs done as well.

Thanks!
