Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Economics This book is intended for the student and the farmer inter ested in the study of those economic principles which underlie the effective organization of the farm, and for the statesman interested in establishing laws and institutions for the develop ment of agriculture. The subjects treated correspond to those studies grouped under the head of Farm Management in some colleges and under the head of Agricultural Economics in others. From the author's point of view these two terms as used at the present time cover essentially the same subject matter so far as they relate to the economics of production on the indi vidual farm, but he believes that the latter term is much the broader, including also the problems of marketing, land eco nomics, farm finance, and farm life. The matter here presented is the result of a gradual develop ment of twenty years of study in this field. Its publication marks the close of seventeen years of teaching of agricultural economics by the author in the University of Wisconsin, where he first gave a course to the short-course students in the winter of 1902 - 1903, at which time a Syllabus of Lectures on Agricul tural Economics was printed for the use of his class. In 1905 An Introduction to the Study of Agricultural Economics, containing thirteen chapters, was published, the main points of which have been included in the present volume. For many years, parts of the present volume have been mimeographed and used in the classroom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
