Excerpt from "Sterility Is Laid": Prof. Ville's New System of Agriculture, An Address Delivered Before the Bedford, N. H., Farmers' Club, February 28, 1868While we were engaged in suppressing a gigantic rebellion which threatened the very life of our country, a man in Europe, having every advantage of position and science, perfected a sys~ tem, which, having been tested from ¿ower-pots to large fields, culminated in presence of hundreds of farmers and others who had met to witness the crops as they were being harvested, and convinced the most incredulous.An English writer says: It is not extravagant in stating that light has thus replaced darkness that order has succeeded chaos, and that the phantom of sterility is laid.An American writer says It is impossible to doubt or ques tion the importance of his investigations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
