Excerpt from The Future of Our Agriculture It has been the author's lot to see a good deal of such modern methods, which are more particularly interesting in that part of the subject which applies to that important social and economic problem interlaced with the agricultural, namely, that of settling more people on the land and so increasing agricultural production, while providing a larger supply of labour, and creating ampler contentment, happiness and prosperity. The subject matter having been systematically divided under distinct heads, some recurrence to the same practices under different aspects has proved inevitable.

Excerpt from The State as Farmer: Or the Future of Agriculture in England The question has not been discussed in the past largely because it is a commonplace commercial matter. We know that we are a nation of shopkeepers, and the instinct of the class is to keep the land for certain individualistic operations. It is a mistaken View, but interests are involved which would be incommoded, if not injured, should the necessary changes be made. The war will, no doubt, cause this simple factor of military risk to be included in all future calculations. The' idea that it would pay us to keep our labourers well fed in view of calls upon their strength, never seems to have entered into the heads of those who were concerned in this industry. I think it has reached that centre of thought now; and when we preach the gospel of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from World Food Forum Proceedings: The Inaugural Event Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the United States Department of Agriculture; May 15, 1962 The World Food Forum surveyed a century of the past and searched far into the future. It stirred our imaginations and raised our eyes to new perspectives Of agricultural science and the ultimate assurance of food in plenty for all the world. The papers recorded in these Proceedings represent an assessment of prog ress in the last hundred years and a challenge to even greater progress in the century ahead. N'o man can predict what that century will bring. But the achievement Of the last twenty-five years in the science Of agriculture holds out the promise that our age Of technological innovation will see the end Of famine, of hunger, Of undernourishment on this planet. A hundred years from now, when learned men meet again to discuss the state Of mankind's food supply, the full measure Of this country's contribution to agricultural progress will be fully understood. In the long view of that century-to - come, it may well be said that our most significant contribution to man's ultimate well-being - more meaningful in terms Of elemental human needs than any other scientific attainment - was our contribution to the science Of agriculture. For then, as now, man will need before all else, the produce of the soil. The Department Of Agriculture takes great pride in the steady progress Of its work over the Span Of a hundred years. It looks forward with confident anticipation to continued advances in research and service to the people Of this country and the world. These Proceedings, I believe, capture some Of the Department's sense Of achievement and record many Of its tangible accomplishments. What is perhaps more important, they open new challenges and Offer new opportunities for a second century Of productive useful work.
