YEARBOOK, 1921 (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Yearbook, 1921The Yearbook for 1921, therefore, emphasizes the eco nomic side of our agriculture, because help in their economic problems is now the most urgent need Of our farmers. That is not to say that the Department of Agriculture is losing sight Of production matters. The farmer needs all the help in his production problems that the department and the agricultural colleges and experiment stations can give him, but the thing Of most importance now is the development of an entirely new realm Of organized knowledge bearing upon the economic factors of agriculture, looking toward cheaper production, improved methods of distribution, and the en largement Of markets, all to the end that prices the farmer receives shall be more fairly related to his cost of production.While the present volume treats only of four phases of the situation, succeeding volumes will take up other products and conditions, SO that in the course Of a few years a fairly complete picture Of the whole economic situation may be presented.It is hoped that the discussions in this book, which have been prepared with a great deal of attention to accuracy and clearness, will contribute something to a better understand ing Of the serious economic problems which must be met if our agriculture is to be established on a sound, enduring basis.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
