Abstract
DURING the War of 1914-18, the late T. Wibberley published his book “Farming on Factory Lines”, in which he advocated more continuous systems of cropping than those generally in use. It was an interesting book, well written, showing on every page the writer's forceful personality; it certainly induced a number of people to examine the proposals even if they were not persuaded to adopt them. Much of the material had been collected while he was in Limerick as agricultural instructor, and later when he was appointed professor of agriculture at University College, Cork, the chair having been specially founded by the late Howard Harrington, who was attracted by the possibilities offered by the system.
