Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marketing and Farm Credits: A Collection of Papers and Documents Read at the Fourth Annual Sessions of the National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits in Chicago, at the Hotel Sherman, December 4-9, 1916 The 1915 volume of the National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits sounded a new note in the literature of agricultural economics. The 1916 volume, now presented to the public, marks the transition in economic thought from the theoretic to the practical. Former speakers of the Conference dwelt largely upon what ought to be done. But in 1916 the General Committee made an effort to secure speakers who could tell how to do those things that may be necessary to the national welfare insofar as they might relate to the solution of the American land question and to the future organization of agricultural cooperation. This volume, we believe, presents an advance in agricultural conceptions, and voices sane constructive thoughts with regard to the working out of coordinated national and state policies for solution of land settlement, landlord and tenant, farm credit, personal credit and kindred problems, and for the encouragement of the business side of farming by agricultural cooperation. The attendance at the 1916 Conference exceeded all former records, about 2,000 persons being present, and over 2,000,000 farmers represented. Each general and sectional meeting was rich in free discussion and the quantity of it was so great as to make it impossible for the Committee to incur the expense of publishing everything that was said. The Committee also feels some gratification in being able to point to the fact that the Congress of the United States has recently appropriated $250,000 for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the livestock industry as was urged by the speakers at this Conference and by the resolutions adopted. A long line of agricultural progress may be traced as a result of the movements and ideas which the delegates to the Conference have pioneered, or supported.
