Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Agriculture and Rural Economics It has been the practice of the writer to give a brief course of lectures on the History of Agriculture to Junior and Senior Students in the Four-Year Course in Agriculture in order to cement together the reading in the library which they are required to do. (Appendix A). A still briefer course of lectures has been given on Rural Economics in order to help the students in working out a plan in farm management. (Appendix C). At the close of the spring term of this year the students asked permission to have the lectures printed, and an edition limited to one hundred copies has been issued by them. If any of these copies should fall into the hands of any one besides the writer's students, he trusts they will take into consideration the purpose for which the matter has been prepared. There is no special reason for printing the lectures on the History of Agriculture and the lectures on Rural Economics together, except the desire of the students to have these lectures between the same covers. No one can appreciate more fully than the writer the imperfect character of this sketch of agricultural progress, and the author promises himself that should the proper leisure come to him, he will endeavor at some future time to give the History of Agriculture a setting more in keeping with its importance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Agriculture and Rural Economics Within Egypt proper there is an area of about square miles or a little more than Ohio and Illinois combined. In 1887 it contained a population of 5 1-2 million people, and its principal export was cotton. This valley is watered by the Nile, which rises in the lakes Victoria and Alberta. The former con tains an area of square miles, - almost exactly that of the state of Ohio, and is situated 1 15' south of the equator. The Nile empties into the Mediterranean sea at Rosetta 'and Dami etta at 310 35'north. The Nile is said to traverse 4100 miles in going this distance, as compared with the Mississippi, which traverses 3000 miles. As the crows fly, the distance from Vic toria N yanza to the Mediterranean is 2000 miles, while from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico is about 1300 miles. The val ley of the Nile, however, is not ancient Egypt. The tillable area of Egypt was only about square milesi'or about the size of Belgium and is divided into two portions, the delta and the valley proper. The delta is a triangular area, whose distance between the mouth at Rosetta and Damietta is 120 miles, and whose distance from the branch of the river at Cairo to the sea is about 90 miles, the whole area being estimated at about square miles. This was probably largely a grazing district. The valley extends from Cairo southward about 520 miles to the last of the ten cataracts near which is the town of Assuan, the ancient Syene. The average width of tillable soil on either side does not exceed two miles. This area occupies about square miles and is generally recognized as the seat of the an cient civilization. One of the minor districts of Egypt is the Fayoom. This inter esting district contains Lake Moeris, which is a natural basin into which the water of the Nile has been fed by a canal eight miles long, and various sub-canals water this district, thus bringing into use some square miles of territory. This is one of the most stupendous works from an agricultural stand point, that has ever been performed in Egypt, and was supposed to have been done in its early history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Agriculture and Rural Economy, Vol. 1: From Personal Observation The farmers in Scotland, certainly inferior to none in agri cultural enterprise, intelligence, and skill, and demonstrating this by a husbandry most exact and productive, have associated themselves together for the encouragement of the application of chemistry to the improvement of agriculture. Proprietors of land pay a yearly subscription of one pound or upwards to the association, and tenants ten shillings. This sum entitles each of them to two analyses a year at a certain fixed low rate. All above that number are charged half more. The analyst is required to give only such analysis as will answer the desired purpose. Agricultural societies, by a yearly payment of five pounds to the association, are entitled to one lecture from the agricultural professor; for ten pounds, to two lectures, and so on; and the travelling expenses of the lecturer are likewise to be paid by those who employ him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Rural Economics Though agriculture is our oldest and by far our largest and most important industry, it has only recently occurred to us in the United States that we had a rural problem. Nations, like individuals, are wont to prize the things they do not have rather than the things they have. Agriculture was so natural to our conditions, and established itself so easily, that we took it as a matter of course and gave our attention to the development of industries which did not show a disposition to grow naturally. Accordingly, during the first century of our national existence, our economic policy was framed mainly in the interest of the urban industries. The logical result of this artificial fostering of manufactures and commerce was the rapid building up of great overgrown cities and the creation of a group of urban social problems for which we were woefully unprepared. During the next twenty-five years these problems occupied the attention of economists and students of social science almost to the ex clusion of everything else. It is only during the last decade that we have awakened to the fact that there is a rural as well as an urban problem. The agricultural colleges and the universities began offering courses on agricultural and rural economics, and there has been a remarkable development of interest in agricul ture in the high schools of the country, which augurs well for the future of rural civilization in America.
