Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Agricultural Economics: A Class-Book of Questions and Problems This little book appears in fulfilment of the promise made a year ago that there would be a class-book to accompany Agricultural Economics. In fact, these questions and exercises should be regarded as an integral part of the earlier volume for all purposes of teaching and study. They should be bound together except for the undue size which would result and the possibility that some instructors might desire to use this class-book in connection with other materials. For this latter reason the writer has aimed to make the questions sufficiently general in character to be of value to classes using other textbooks than his own and especially to instructors or classes in marketing, rural credits, and similar special topics. While the questions bear in the main upon the particular matter presented in the companion volume, specific references have been avoided in nearly all cases. The writer disclaims any pretense of offering a bibliography of agricultural economics. The lists of "additional references" appended to the various chapters are merely what their name implies - references added to those already suggested in the footnotes of the various selections. Some of these represent valuable material which has appeared since the publication of the earlier volume; others are works which for one reason or another were not used in the compilation of the source book, but which seem to the writer to be of value for further reading on special topics or in the preparation of term papers. Likewise, the lists of special topics do not aim at completeness, but are intended, by a few concrete suggestions, to stimulate the student to discover suitable subjects of his own. Besides the use which the writer has already made of this material, a part of the questions have been used at the University of Illinois by Dr. Charles L. Stewart, from whom numerous helpful suggestions have been received. Criticisms and suggestions from all who may use the book are cordially invited, in order that the book may be revised, at no distant date, in the light of a broader classroom experience.
