What reading level is The Primer of Irrigation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the case of vegetables he follows the same prac- tice and plants his cabbages, his beets, turnips, etc., wherever the fancy moves him. It is a haphazard manner of farming, and to it may be attributed fail- ures which have been ascribed to the elements. From what has been heretofore said it must be apparent that there is something in soil and in the manner of plant- ing which it would be well to heed ; indeed, which must be heeded if success be desired and a crop assured.
True, plants will gr...ow if the seed be thrust in the ground; that is, after a fashion; and so will an ani- mal grow if kept alive after a fashion, but the pro- duce in both cases will be scrub.
The time is coming, if it has not already arrived, when farmers will be able to produce as much from half an acre of ground as from an acre, and better crops. Too much land is as great a bar to success as too little, for in the former case there is too much trusting to luck, whereas in utilizing nature for the purpose of wresting products from the bosom of the earth there is not the smallest element of luck; it is all pure science, knowledge, ability, etc.
