Excerpt from Problems of Village Life

We have mastered the principles of aerial ﬂight and wireless telegraphy; oour sub marines navigate the depths of the sea; we can analyze and weigh the planets. But many Of the problems Of poverty are still unsolved, and agriculture, the earliest and most universal of the sciences, makes but slow progress. It even appears probable that many parts of the globe's surface are cultivated with far less success now than in earlier centuries. In our own country no land drainage on scientific lines appeared until 1835 and the formation Of artificial soils by mixture, discussed by Columella and even earlier writers, is still in its infancy as far as England is concerned.
