Plants and their uses.

From earliest times plants are known to play an important role in everyday life of man. We know plants to provide us with food, clothing, shelter and many other necessary things. People are still as dependent upon plants as primitive man many thousand years ago. Great necessity caused primitive man to grow plants. And the cultivation of plants is thought to be closely connected with man's progress. In order to grow plants man had to settle down and to begin building homes. Primitive men had few needs except food and clothing.

Civilization has increased man's wants to a surprising extent. The man of today is no longer¹ satisfied with merely having food to eat and house to live in. Не wants raw materials which can be made into useful things and products.

Man's food and clothing are produced directly or indirectly plants. Many animals feed on plants and produce food and raw materials used by man. Without plant life neither animals nor men will be able to live.

Many things people use in everyday life are made from plants. The paper they write on, the clothes they wear, the tables they sit at, all come from plants. Plants are used as timber in the making of furniture and as fuel. Many drugs are made from plants.

Plant culture began a great many years ago.² The most important plants in the world are said to have been grown 4000 years ago.

There exist very many species of plants. But the best known to most people are those that are useful to men. They are grown and cultivated by farmers and are called farm crops. These crops are used for many different purposes.

Some are used directly by man, some are consumed by animals, others are used in industry and medicine. We can certainly expect new uses to be found and the value of other plants to be discovered.

As plants are so important to man, they must be well cared for and grown under suitable conditions. Then they will give greater yields. For the plants to grow well they must also be well protected against pests and diseases.
