farming. Covers renovating old pastures, making new ones,

The further development of humus farming plus many
peripheral subjects.
Modern Humus Farming Faber 1959
Discusses the danger to the soil caused by worship of
"technical efficiency" and "getting more for less". Sykes
puts forth his case that humus farming is as effective and
productive as any other system.
By 1919 I had learnt how to grow health, crops. Practical!,
free from diseases, without the slightest help from
mycologist entomologists, bacteriologists, agricultural
chemists, statisticians, clearing-houses of information,
artificial manures, spraying machines, insecticides,
fungicides, germicides, and all the other expensive
paraphernalia of the modern experiment station.
This preliminary exploration of the ground suggested that
the birthright of even, crop is health.

TURNER, NEWMAN
Fertility Farming Faber 1951
Turner is a practical farmer who learned conventional
agriculture in college but when he applied the teachings
the results were disastrous. He then "unlearned" all his
formal training and formulated his own system. Fascinating
reading. Recommended.
Herdsmanship Faber 1952
Dedicated "to the Jersey Cow which combines beauty with
efficiency". Comprehensive treatment of dairy cow selection
and management from Turner's point of view. Excellent
descriptions of all major dairy breeds plus sections on
herbal veterinary practices. Recommended.
Fertility Pastures Faber 1955
The value of the herbal ley (temporary pasture) is the
central theme of this book. The detailed information on the
character and properties of herbs and grasses for grazing
is extremely interesting. Turner determined the composition
of his pasture seed mixtures by "consulting the cow".
Recommended. Reprinted 1974.
