What reading level is The Lure of the Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


They contended, those who had not farmed, that ten tons of ma- nure to the acre was "a heap of fertilizer." I would like to quote here from the American Agriculturist of recent date. The extract is from an article on raising melons in another state and the quantities used are for one acre.
"In the Fall is spread twenty tons of stable manure free of stalks and straw (this would equal thirty to forty tons of ordinary manure).
"1000 pounds high grade Carolina phosphate rock.
"300 pounds high grade
... sulphate of potash.
"This is harrowed in and I sow twelve to fifteen quarts of crimson clover to be plowed under in April. I then sow 1000 pounds com- plete fertilizer (formula two per cent nitrogen and four per cent phos- phoric acid and ten per cent potash)." This surely dwarfs ten tons strawy manure into insignificance.
The second morning of the fair, a carriage full of visitors drove up to the door and an east-end neighbor, who had visited the farm in the early summer alighted, bearing several large bouquets of asters and dahlias.
