Excerpt from 1919 Vs 1894: Or Blairsville's Marvelous Development in a Quarter of a CenturyFor a long, long time I had looked forward to this eleventh day of July, 1919, as being the one that would probably usher in for me one of the pleasantest experiences of my life. Twenty-five years before, just to the very day, I had left my old home at Blairsville and had gone to the island of Samoa to seek my fortune. During my absence I had, of course, heard frequently by letter from my friends and had constantly been in receipt of the evening courier, so that I had been kept as well informed of the great changes that had taken place in my native city as it is possible for one who has to depend altogether upon hearsay, and who is forced to rely largely upon his imagination in his attempt to picture in his mind's eye the new order of things.Today as I sat in a luxurious palace car on the Atlantic and Pacific Air Line, which, by the way, had been constructed dur ing my absence, and extended from New York to San Francisco in a line as straight as the crow flies, my thoughts went back to the day on which I had left the old town. That was on the eleventh day of July, 1894, and at that time Blairsville was just about starting on its recovery from a period of several years prostration of business. Just at that time the West Penn shops had been removed to Allegheny, While all the freight runs hadbeen changed and the trainmen been forced to remove to either Allegheny or Conemaugh. The tin and sheet - mills had also closed down, while the Asa G. Neville glass works had been idle for almost two years with no prospect of an early resump tion of work. The prospect was rather a gloomy one, and about the only rift in the dark clouds that overcast the business sky were the establishment of the courier, Indiana county's first daily, which had occurred several months previous to my departure, and the prospective coming there of the Whitney Glass Company. I believe that at that time there was also some little talk of a large steel works that might possibly locate on a plot known as the Stouffer farm, about half a mile or so east of town.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: republish only hand checked books; that are high quality; enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Nature Studies on the Farm, Soils and PlantsThis work that we are to begin together is not plant study merely, but a study of the growing plant; and our purpose is to learn to help the plants to grow better, so that they may give us larger crops. To do this we must learn something about soils as well as about plants. We shall find that the same law of life applies to plants as to animals and to man. Like us, the plant grows best when it is fed best.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
