Summary "The Stewardship of the Soil" by John H. Worst is a baccalaureate address delivered at the North Dakota Agricultural College in the early 20th century. This publication serves as an educational discourse focusing on agriculture and the importance of responsible land stewardship. It explores the profound relationship between humans and the soil, stressing the significance of agriculture in society. In this address, Worst emphasizes that the stewardship of soil is not just a matter of farming but represents a vital obligation to society that can directly affect the quality of life. He discusses the potential for improving agricultural practices through scientific education, advocating for a shift from extensive farming to more sustainable methods. Worst argues that farmers play a crucial role as co-creators, enhancing both plant and animal life through careful selection and breeding. He highlights the importance of making farming a desirable profession, improving rural life conditions, and fostering agricultural education to meet the challenges of a changing world. By advocating for the educational and social upliftment of rural communities, Worst ultimately envisions a future of prosperity and fulfillment rooted in the respect and care for the earth's resources.
