Excerpt from The Coco-Nut

The preparation of this book began in 1907 and was expected to be finished in three years. Before the time at which it was to be finished, the College of Agriculture of the University of the Philippines was established, and I found myself giving a course of instruction on the coco-nut. This course and the proposed book covered the same ground and had the same end in View. Other work did not leave me time to get this into satisfactory shape for publication, and teaching the subject gave me an opportunity to test many of the supposed facts as well as to practise their presentation. I have now given the course to five classes. The knowledge of coco-nut physiology, which before rested entirely upon my work during one season at San Ramon, has been amplified and substantiated by the work of many students here. Every student in these classes has had the care of a small group of trees and has kept full records covering every step in coco-nut culture, from the preparation of the seed bed to the utilization of the product. Then I express myself positively on matters of practice it is therefore on the basis of ample personal experience.
