Book Synopsis Agriculture of the United States in 1860 by : Joseph C. G. Kennedy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture of the United States in 1860: Compiled From the Original Returns of the Eighth Census, Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior Br the foregoing table it will be perceived that, in 1860, the agricultural area Of the country embraced acres of improved land, and acres of Land Unimproved. In other words, for every two acres of improved land there are three acres of land connected therewith not yet under cultivation; while the gross aggregate of uncultivated territory, fertile and waste, swells to acres. This fact gives color to the agriculture of the country. Land is abundant and cheap, while labor is scarce and dear. Even in the older-settled States there is much land that can be purchased at extremely low rates; and, by a recent act of Congress known as the Free Homestead law, every citizen of the United States, or any foreigner who shall declare his intention of becoming a citizen, can have a farm of 160 acres without charge. As good land as any in the world is offered to actual settlers on these easy terms. Under such circumstances it is evident that the intensive system of agriculture which is practiced in some older and more densely populated countries, where labor is abundant and the land mostly under cultivation, cannot, as a general rule, be profitably adopted at present in this country. It has been said that American agriculture is half a century behind that of Great Britain. In one sense this is, perhaps, true. Our land is not as thoroughly under-drained, manured, and cultivated as that of England, Scotland, or Belgium; but we can, and do now, produce a bushel of wheat at much less cost than the most scientific farmer of England can by the best approved method Of cultivation, eren if he paid nothing for the use of his land.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Green Rising: An Historical Survey of Agrarianism, With Special Reference to the Organized Efforts of the Farmers of the United States to Improve Their Economic and Social Status In the spring of 1924, the writer visited Europe for the purpose of studying rural life conditions. It became apparent that profound changes were taking place throughout the rural sections of all European countries. The traditions and customs of centuries were being greatly affected. The equilibrium between population elements had been appreciably disturbed by the war. The farm labor problem presented new aspects. The peasant farmer was experiencing financial distress as a result of falling prices and financial depression. He had become thoroughly dissatisfied and discouraged, and was uniting his efforts with industrial labor to compel legislative bodies to provide relief from existing conditions. It became increasingly apparent that the farm populations, from the Balkan States to the North Sea and westward to the Atlantic Ocean, were determined to improve their economic and social conditions. They were thinking much of economic inequalities. Adversity had aroused their consciousness of social solidarity and had caused them to realize their political strength.

Book Synopsis A Hundred Years Progress of American Agriculture by : Charles L. Flint
Download or read book A Hundred Years Progress of American Agriculture written by Charles L. Flint and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hundred Years Progress of American Agriculture: An Essay From the Twenty-First Annual Report of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture These were the sources from which our common or native cattle sprang. The earlier importations were undoubtedly more extensive than any subsequent ones, the colonists rely ing upon the natural increase to supply their wants, but there is historical evidence to show that there was more or less interchange of stock between the various colonies at an early date, and that this resulted in a mixture of blood, such as we find it now in our common stock. We are to bear in mind, also, that the stock of the mother country and of various other countries from which the supplies of the colonists were drawn was not at that time improved as we find it in the present day. It was long before the interest in the improvement of stock had been awakened, and it is a historical fact that the ox of that day was small and ill-shaped, quite inferior to the ox of our own time that the sheep has undergone a vast improvement, both in the fineness and value of its wool and the size and quality of the carcase, within the last century; that throughout the earlier part of the last century the average gross weight of the neat cattle sent to Smithfield market did not exceed three hundred and seventy pounds, and that of sheep twenty-eight pounds, while the average weight of the former is now over eight hundred pounds, and of the latter over eighty pounds. Nor is it probable, on account of the high price of cattle at that period, and the risks to which they were exposed, that the colonists obtained the best specimens then known. In fact the difference in animals, and what are now considered the best points and the highest indications of improvement, were nowhere understood or appreciated two centuries ago. That the cattle of the early settlers were poor of their kind, as compared with our ideas of the quality of similar animals, is, therefore, plain enough to be understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Encyclopaedia of Agriculture: A Treasury of Useful Information for the Farm and Household Foul with weeds as to require a fallow, but not what is too often understood by that term in this country. In England, when a farmer was com pelled to fallow a field, he let the weeds grow into blossom and then turned them down; in America, a fallow meant a field where the pro duce is a crop of weeds running to seed. Instead of a cr0p of grain. Again, the art of breeding the best animals and the best vegetables, by a judicious selection of individuals to propagate from. These improvements, with others too numerous to be here specified, have rendered the agriculture of the early part of the century very different from that of the middle ages when it had sunk far below the degree of perfection which it had reached among the Romans. In relation to the difficulties experienced in advanc ing agricultural art in the United States, it is well known that the earliest settlers found the country a wilderness, with many varieties of climate and soil, of which they were entirely ignorant, and to which the knowledge they had obtained in the mother country did not apply. Thus, they had to contend with the innumerable obstacles, such as the wilderness of nature, their ignorance of the climate, the hostility of the In dians, the depredations of wild beasts, the diffi culty and expense of procuring seeds, farming implements and superior stock. These various difficulties are quite sufficient to explain the slow pro 'ess they made in the way of improve ment. Or many years agriculture was in an exceedingly backward and depressed condition. Stocks and tools were poor, and there were obstacles and prejudices against any innovations in the established routine of practice. This state of things continued for many years with very little change. Jared Eliot, a clergyman of Connecticut, one of the earliest agricultural writers of America, published the first of a series of valuable essays on Field Husbandry, in 1747, but with this and a few other exceptions, no real efforts were made to improve farming until after the revolution, when the more settled state of the country and the gradual increase of population, began to impress the intrinsic import ance of the subject upon the minds of a few enlightened men. They sought by associated effort to awaken an interest in the subject, and spread abroad valuable information. The South Carolina Agricultural Society was established in 1784, and still exists, and the Philadelphia Society for the Improvement of Agriculture, established in the same year, and a similar association in New York in 1791, incorporated in 1798, and the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, established in 1792, were active in their field of labor, and all accomplished import ant results. The correspondence at this period between Sir John Sinclair and Washington, shows how anxious was the father of his country to promote the highest interests of the people by the improvement of agriculture. But all the efforts of the learned, and all the investigations of the. Scientific, prove comparatively unavailing, unless the people themselves - the actual workers of the sell - are prepared to receive and profit by their teachings. Many years elapsed before the habit of reading became sufficiently common among the masses of the actual tillers of the soil. To justify an expectation that any profit would arise from the annual publication of the transactions of the several societies. Tire.

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Agricultural Experimentation and Research in the United States, 1607-1925: Including a History of the United States Department of Agriculture After the passage of the Hatch Experiment Station Act and the reorganization of the Department of Agriculture as of Cabinet rank the work of these agencies Spread out so broadly that it was not possible to give more than brief summaries of principal undertak ings. These more and more represented the combined efforts of different individuals and institutions. Agricultural science grew chiefly as the result of numerous small additions to knowledge, credit for which it was increasingly difficult to give to individuals. Results of particular projects in both their scientific and practical aspects became very hard to measure. To be at all adequate, such measurement must be the task of specialists, and for the most part this has not yet been attempted. Therefore, in this general survey of the history of agricultural experimentation and research in this country, little has been attempted beyond describing the organiza tion and equipment of such research and its general character and breadth. The material for this history has been drawn chiefly from general reports of the work. An examination in detail of the vast mass of bulletins and special reports issued by the Department of Agri culture and the experiment stations was obviously impracticable. W. H. Beal and H. M. Steece of the Office of Experiment Stations carefully read the manuscript and made many helpful suggestions for its improvement. Special acknowledgment is also made of the assistance of E. B. Hawks of the Department Library, C. L. Feld kamp of the library of the Office of Experiment Stations, and J. L. Weston of this Office.

This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York State Colleges of Agriculture and Home Economics The Farm Bureau grew out of the common need of farmers for organization for educational and social purposes. The Farm Bureau Exchange has grown out of the equally common need of farmers for organization for business purposes. While the purposes of the two organizations are different, the ends sought are not entirely dissimilar, one of the most important objects of one being to reduce the cost of production of products on the farm and of the other to reduce the cost of distribution of products to and from the farm. The Farm Bureau, through its branch centers located in the different parts of a county, has become a great ferum for the discussion of the technical problems of production and of marketing and, at the same time, it has become an agency for the general improvement of/ conditions in the country. The Farm Bureau Exchange, on the other hand, assumes certain business responsibilities of buying better and cheaper farm supplies and of selling certain of the products of its members to better advantage than the grower can acting in his individual capacity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture, Its Fundamental Principles The purpose of teaching agriculture is not to make a farmer of each child, any more than the purpose of teaching literature is to make an author of each one. The study is, however, especially useful to children who will some day be men and women with good farms to maintain or poor ones to improve. The knowledge of the forces and laws which control plant and animal development raises the daily round of farm tasks from drudgery to intelligent labor. As labor is better informed, it is better directed; it brings larger returns in dollars and in happiness.

Book Synopsis The Agricultural Outlook for 1930 (Classic Reprint) by : U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
Download or read book The Agricultural Outlook for 1930 (Classic Reprint) written by U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Economics and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agricultural Outlook for 1930 Taxes on farm property in the United States as a whole may be expected to increase for some time, although it appears certain that the rate of increase will be less than the average rate since 1913. Estimated average taxes per acre of farm real estate increased 134 per cent from 1913 to 1924, principally because of increased expenditures for schools and roads. By 1928 taxes per acre had advanced to 146 per cent above the 1913 level. It is most unlikely that there will be a sufficient abatement in the demand for public improvements and services to permit a general reduction in State and local expenditures. Taxes on farm property will not decline and probably will continue to increase unless the several States should (1) provide more effective control over the tendency of expenditures to increase and (2) revise further their systems of taxation so that a substantially greater share of the necessary expenditures would be met by revenues derived from sources other than general property. Past experience indicates that progress along these lines will be slow unless there should develop an unusually strong demand for practical and far-reach ing improvements in State and local finance. Rapid changes in farm production practices during the last decade have introduced new features into the agricultural situation. There seems little doubt but that the rapid development and adoption of improved farm machinery, particularly the all-purpose tractor and the variety of new cultivating and harvesting equipment associated therewith. Will continue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1903 The tendency of the Yearbook to increase in size, following very naturally the growth of the Department whose work it deals with, led to the production for several years of a book of inconvenient dimeh sions, and threatened, unless a different system were pursued in its preparation, very soon to make a most unwieldy volume. An earnest effort had to be made, and a change was therefore inaugurated in the preparation of the present volume, with a view to reducing its bulk. The result has been to reduce it by about 5200 pages; while the tendency to conservatism in the matter of illustrations, which for the past year or two has characterized all the publication work of the Department, has caused a reduction in the number of plates from 87 in the Year book for 1902 to 65 in the present volume. It has been impossible, of course, to effect such a marked reduction without in some measure restricting the number of articles contributed. The number in this volume, while still considerably above the average since the Yearbook was established, is 32, as against 37 last year and 33 in the Yearbook for 1901. The authors are, however, to be con gratulated upon having more nearly than ever before approached the standard of brevity which it has been sought to establish in connection with Yearbook articles, and the average length is but a fraction over 12 pages. Readers who have been in the habit of consulting the Appendix will find there also evidence of this restrictive policy in the elimination of some features to which they have become accustomed. It is believed, however, that the most important information presented in this part of the Yearbook for permanent preservation has been retained. At a risk of repetition, it must be again stated for the information of those who desire to possess a copy of the work, that the quota assigned to the Department's use is barely su cient to supply its own active coworkers, and the great majority of people desiring to secure a copy must, therefore, depend upon their Senators, Representatives.

This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Improvement of Agriculture, and the Elevation in the Social Scale, of Both Husbandman and Operative It is a fallacy to suppose that labor saving machinerywor any mul tiplication of it - nean ever diminish the means of living. - 'i'he oper ation of labour saving machines and contrivances is directly and indirectly to encrease labour. This, to the uninformed, is a seeming paradox, - but it has been proved truthful, by the evidence of expe ricuce, and without a single exception - it is the unviarying law of labour that it moves forwards on one harmonious plan - Every legiv timate development, or inventive production in one direction, favours a consecutive or reciprocal development in another. - The annals of the arts are eloquent cd conclusive on this head-willie inconve niences caused by the introduction of any great mechanical invention in depriving a section of the population ofemployment, is but local and partial in its Operation, - but its benefits are cosmopolitain and per. Manent.-lt creates demands only to satisfy them. - 1t is not too much to say, of such a benefactor ofhis species, that he is indeed created in the image of his maker. But your fashionable idler - your dainty dangling millionnaire would lecir down on such a nondescript - and perhaps be inclined to ask him, as a certain king did a certain tnightly inventive genius at the moment of his triumph, And pray What do you sell sir 3 Boulton replied. I sell, sire, What kings are all fond oil - power. Such a reply would I over.;helm all empty pretention of ignorance With merited confusion - But though this be true - the me chanic must take care lest he fall into a similar error and des pise What is truly estimable merely because his opportunities have never enabled him to perceive its excellence - Prejudice is un fortunately a cosmopolitain and perennial weed, and it should be the especial care and study of every liberal and upright mind to do its best to ensure its perfect extirpation - And nothing can operate more efficiently towards the attainment of this great social triumph than the frequent occurrence of such fraternal national meetings as the pre sent - teaching, as they do, and impressing upon all their mutual dependence and giving all Who are worthy of such a distinction the Opportunity of participating in such a glorious ovation of industrial excellence - such a coronation of the triumphs of labour.

This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grass in Conservation in the United States As far back as records go into civilization's dawn, grass has been a solid base for agriculture. Through the centuries it has provided most of the forage for livestock feed and cereals for man's own food. In the United States in the past generation grass has gained new eminence as a tool in soil and water con servation. Today it occupies a dual role of production and protection in American agriculture. The withering drought and the financial depression of the 1930's triggered an agricultural revolution that brought forth a new national program to halt soil erosion and protect renewable natural resources. With it new grassland science emerged, and new grasses and legumes for forage grow on nearly half the land area of the United States. A return of about 17 billion dollars annually comes from the livestock and poultry that eat grasses, grains, hay, and silage. On the farms of America before 1930, grass was often looked upon as a resource of minor value. In the South and in the Great Plains, farmers grew mostly clean-tilled row crops and small grains. In most of the country, improved pastures occupied a position of minor importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture: For Schools of the Pacific Slope Agriculture is the most fundamental of all indus tries, the foundation and condition of civilized exist ence. The naturally growing fruits, roots, and other eatable products of forests and plains and the wild game and fishes of streams and seas are everywhere found to sustain only a roving and more or less savage population, few in numbers and failing to progress from century to century. Agriculture makes it pos sible for thousands to live comfortably where previ ously only a few individuals managed to obtain a scanty living without it; and, as agriculture is improved, still more people are able to live within a given area without warring over the means of existence. Mining and all the other important industries would quickly cease were agriculture to cease even for a short time, as they are sometimes obliged to do in India and else where for lack of rain or irrigation water.
