Seite 205 - That in order to aid in diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical information on subjects relating to agriculture and home economics, and to encourage the application of the same...
Seite 30 - The demand for farm products, unlike the demand for manufactured articles, does not expand rapidly to meet a large increase in supply. There is a tendency toward an equilibrium between urban and agricultural industry.

Seite 283 - Many breeders and live-stock owners will not introduce animals into their herds unless they are reasonably certain that no tuberculosis exists in the herds from which the animals are taken. To such owners an animal of doubtful health has no intrinsic value and they will readily pay a premium for animals from accredited herds. For grade cattle $10 per head is a conservative estimate of the premium on animals known to be free from tuberculosis, and $25 per animal is likewise a reasonable estimate of...
