What reading level is The Fertility of the Soil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lastly, the crops raised on the British farm are largely sent off to the cities from whence only little manure ever returns, the great proportion of the fertilising constituents getting into the sewage and being destroyed at considerable expense.
It is obvious that such wasteful methods cannot go on indefinitely. Investigations into the losses and gains are now going on at Rothamsted and elsewhere. With fuller knowledge there is little doubt that some of the waste can be reduced, while the acti...on of the recuperative agencies in the soil can be accelerated. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of evolving a permanent system of maintaining soil fertility, but such a system must rest on a solid foundation of scientific fact 64 THE FERTILITY OF THE SOIL [ch.
CHAPTER V THE RAISING OF THE FERTILITY LIMIT We have seen in the previous chapters that the fertility of a given soil may lie anywhere between two limits : the liigher limit being attained when the land is allowed to remain with an undisturbed vegeta- tion of grass and clovers, and the lower when the land is perpetually under the plough, producing nothing but cereal crops and receiving no manure to counterbalance the various losses.
