Farmers of Forty Centuries is a book written by F.H. King, which explores the agricultural practices of China, Korea, and Japan. The book is based on King's travels to these countries in the early 1900s, where he studied the traditional farming methods used by the local farmers. The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the rest of the book, discussing the importance of sustainable agriculture and the need for a more permanent approach to farming. King then dives into the specifics of farming in each country, detailing the history, culture, and techniques used by the farmers.King explores a range of topics, including soil conservation, crop rotation, irrigation, and the use of compost and manure. He also discusses the role of animals in farming, including the use of oxen and horses for plowing and transportation. Throughout the book, King emphasizes the importance of sustainability and the need to preserve the land for future generations. He argues that the farming practices he observed in China, Korea, and Japan offer valuable lessons for farmers around the world, and that these practices could be adapted to modern agriculture to create a more sustainable and permanent system.Overall, Farmers of Forty Centuries is a fascinating look at traditional farming practices in East Asia, and an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about sustainable agriculture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
