Excerpt from Genetics in Relation to Agriculture

Of all the sciences that contribute to the great, tertiary composite which is known as agriculture none is more important economically than genetics. One may not overlook the fundamental relation borne by the primary sciences, mathematics, physics and chemistry, and by the second ary sciences, botany, zoology, geology, meteorology and economics, to the production and distribution of raw materials. But we confidently assert that the science which underlies the improvement of plants and animals for agricultural purposes is destined to receive increasing atten tion in agricultural education and in agricultural practice. Without doubt vast possibilities await realization through the more thorough and systematic development Of our living economic resources. Such de velopment is directly dependent upon the successful utilization of genetic principles in plant and animal breeding. The science Of genetics is still very young, but it is firmly established and is developing rapidly. It claims the attention of the producer of today and invites the most serious study Of the agriculturist of tomorrow. It lays claim also to the interest Of the eugenist, the sociologist and the philanthropist and all students of biology.

This text has been prepared in response to a real and widely recognized need. The experience of the authors in teaching the principles of breed ing to undergraduate students has forced home the conviction that an adequate presentation in a single text Of the facts and principles of genetics and their practical applications is a prime necessity. Those familiar with the literature of the subject will appreciate the magnitude of the task and, we trust, will be lenient in criticizing our choice of subject matter. It is impossible to include many things Of mutual interest to genetics and agriculture if the work be limited to a single volume. We are keenly aware Of many deficiencies and it is our desire to prepare a revised edition Of the book in the near future. With this in view the suggestions of others are earnestly solicited.
