Synopsis

Excerpt from Agricultural Organisation Its Rise, Principles and Practice, Abroad and at Home

The extent to which agricultural organisation, in some or other of its manifold phases, has been adopted in recent years in almost every civilised country on the face of the globe constitutes one Of the most remarkable of economical developments, and one that has, besides, had considerable bearing on general social conditions.

Of the greatest and most direct interest to those actually engaged in agriculture, the subject is also one that must appeal strongly to all who are in any way interested in the progress of nations and the story of how so remarkable a movement was brought about, and Of the results to which it has already led, should appeal no less to the average Citizen than to the working farmer. It should, further, lead to the conviction that, when so many countries throughout the world which look to the United Kingdom as the best market for their surplus produce are both increasing the volume thereofr and strengthening their economic position, it is a matter of Special importance that British producers should enquire what are the special advantages which (apart from Climatic or other conditions not capable of reproduction here) their foreign competitors have secured for themselves from effective organisation, and to what extent the example set by the foreigner Should be followed by the British farmer, alike in the defence and for the promotion of his own interests.

Product Description

Excerpt from Agricultural Organisation Its Rise, Principles and Practice, Abroad and at Home Agricultural Organisation ranks to-day as one of those world movements to which countries great and small throughout the civilised globe are devoting attention, while the fact that in 1913 the members of an American Agricultural Commission made the tour of Europe in quest of information on the subject is but one of many recent developments which might be adduced as evidence of the earnest study now being devoted to a subject that affects so closely the social and economic well-being of the nations. Though, also, based primarily on the principle of combination for the three-fold purposes of production, transport and sale, Agricultural Organisation is concerned directly or indirectly with a wide range of other questions and problems of the day, including those relating to the rural exodus, the settlement of more people on the land, the revival of country life, wages and housing in country districts, the higher cost of living due to (among other causes) the world's increasing consumption of food supplies, and the desirability of reducing so far as is practicable our dependence on foreign imports. The time has thus seemed to be opportune for the re-issue of the present work in a cheaper and somewhat more compact form, the detailed account of "Work Done or Projected" by the Agricultural Organisation Society of England, which occupied considerable space in the first edition, being here omitted; though all the material facts in relation to the "Rise, Principles, and Practice" of agricultural organisation, both abroad and at home, as given in the original edition, have been retained.
