PRINCIPLES OF VALUE AND PRICE AS RELATED TO FARM PRODUCTS QUESTIONS 1. Distinguish between price, exchange-value, and utility. 2. Which one of these coincides with the "actual value" or "fair price" to which people so frequently refer? 3. Is value a quality which is absolute or relative? Does it reside inside an article or is it extrinsic to it? 4. So long as an article remains unchanged, is its value unchanged? In your answer do you consider that an article is unchanged only so long as its form or appearance is the same? Would its value be affected by a mere change in location? a change in time? 5. Does the market value of barley and rye in the United States depend upon the character of these grains or upon the nationality of our people or upon both? 6. Do you think that the market prices of any of our agricultural products would be revised if all private incomes above $5,000 were suddenly swept away? if every family were assured an income of at least $3,000? What is the meaning of "effectual demand"? 7. We often say that prices are low because the supply exceeds the demand. Is this expression accurate and complete? If supply is in excess of all demand, what will be the price of the article? 8. Show how you? own demand for fresh fruit is affected by the principle of diminishing utility. What is marginal utility? 9. What is a marginal consumer? Explain the nature of his influence upon prices.. 10. In the case of crops which come upon the market in large bulk during a short harvesting season, does the idea of marginal utility of a last unit hold good? Which bushels of wheat mark the margin of wheat consumption? 11. What idea of marginal utility governs the thrifty housekeeper when she is purchasing a winter supply ofapples in the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Agriculture: A Popular Outline of the Changes, Which Are Revolutionizing, the Methods of Farming and the Habits of Farm Life Individualism - the right and power of the individual to regulate his own life, think his own thoughts, express his own convictions, carry out his own theories, and strive Without let or hindrance for the attainment of his own ideals, in so far as' all this may be done Without trespassing upon the rights of others - this undoubtedly constitutes the basis of many a man's aspiration who sees only a diminishing prospect of attaining his heart's desire in his present environment. He feels that the incorporation Of industries into one gigantic whole, or, at best, into a limited number of colossal units, renders him insignificant beyond What is right, deprives him of the dignity of manhood, and stifles his life. He feels that the embezzler, the speculator, and the thief in exalted places are given Opportunities for public exploitation and self-enrich ment, and that the common, ubiquitous and ever-hateful grafter is'an inevitable product of the system.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Education for Teachers Prejudice, inertia, and misgivings are everywhere gradually yielding place to the new rural education. Country communities are demanding that their schools educate in terms of rural life; normal schools are rapidly instituting and perfecting departments for the training of rural teachers; and the colleges are offering courses in rural leadership, and in the teach ing of agriculture, home economics, and farm manual training. Tens of thousands of teachers have sud denly become conscious of the new demands that are being made on them. Not all may take advantage of the facilities offered by the higher institutions of learning, while many who take brief courses in sum mer sessions feel the need of keeping in constant touch with the new ideas in agricultural education along its fundamental lines of development.

Download or read book Remaking Home Economics written by Sharon Y. Nickols and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interdisciplinary effort of scholars from history, women's studies, and family and consumer sciences, Remaking Home Economics covers the field's history of opening career opportunities for women and responding to domestic and social issues. Calls to “bring back home economics” miss the point that it never went away, say Sharon Y. Nickols and Gwen Kay—home economics has been remaking itself, in study and practice, for more than a century. These new essays, relevant for a variety of fields—history, women's studies, STEM, and family and consumer sciences itself—take both current and historical perspectives on defining issues including home economics philosophy, social responsibility, and public outreach; food and clothing; gender and race in career settings; and challenges to the field's identity and continuity. Home economics history offers a rich case study for exploring common ground between the broader culture and this highly gendered profession. This volume describes the resourcefulness of past scholars and professionals who negotiated with cultural and institutional constraints to produce their work, as well as the innovations of contemporary practitioners who continue to change the profession, including its name and identity. The widespread urge to reclaim domestic skills, along with a continual need for fresh ways to address obesity, elder abuse, household debt, and other national problems affirms the field's vitality and relevance. This volume will foster dialogue both inside and outside the academy about the changes that have remade (and are remaking) family and consumer sciences. Contributors: Elizabeth L. Andress, Rima D. Apple, Jorge H. Atiles, Susan F. Clark, Billie J. Collier, Caroline E. Crocoll, Stephanie M. Foss, Gwen Kay, Emma M. Laing, Richard D. Lewis, Peggy S.

Sanderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Agricultural Economies of Dependent Territories in the Western Hemisphere and Puerto Rico The economies of the Caribbean territories were generally progressing in the late 1950's aided by confidence generated for much of the area by formation of The West Indies federation and the provision of considerable external assistance. A downturn occurred in the early 1960's with the dissolution of the federation and reduced external assistance. Starting in 1963, an upsurge developed through a combination of factors. These included extensive development planning, in creased sugar markets and prices stemming from the decline in Cuban output and receipt by most territories of a u.s. Sugar quota, and increased development of tourism and related industries. Development plans for nearly all of the territories emphasize increased food and livestock pro duction and provide for protective tariffs. Technical assistance to the territories has been given by the Food and Agriculture Organiza tion of the United Nations (fao), the now defunct Caribbean Commission, and the Agency for Inter national Development (aid)-formerly International Cooperation Administration (ica). Projects included technical assistance and advice in such fields as home economics, soils, irrigation, marketing, housing, health, and roads.
