Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Country Life Commission: And Special Message From the President of the United States In printing for free distribution the report of the Country Life Commission appointed by President Roosevelt, the Spokane Chamber of Commerce desires to meet a wide-spread demand for the document, which is not available through government channels. The request for the publication of the report came in the following resolution from the Country Life Convention, which met in Spokane on November 18, 1909, when the Western States were largely represented by farmers and orchardists attending the Second National Apple Show: "Resolved, That this convention urges the Spokane Chamber of Commerce to secure the approval of President Taft in the publication of the report of the Country Life Commission." In accordance with the resolutions the appended telegram was sent to President Taft: "By unanimous request of largely attended meeting on Country Life held today at the Second National Apple Show the Spokane Chamber of Commerce consented to print for free distribution, the report of the Country Life Commission appointed by Mr. Roosevelt. Are there any objections?" Ired E. Carpenter, Secretary to President Taft, replied as follows: "Telegram received. The President has not the slightest objection to the free distribution of the report of the Country Life Commission, appointed by Mr. Roosevelt. He thinks it would be an excellent thing for the Spokane Chamber of Commerce to do." Continuing its work in fostering and encouraging the agricultural development of the country, the Spokane Chamber of Commerce publishes the Commission's report, which has been endorsed by the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. Members of Congress have received urgent calls for the report, but were unable to supply it, as only a few copies were printed as a Senate document for the use of the legislators while considering the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States transformed itself from an agricultural to an industrial nation, thousands of young people left farm homes for life in the big city. But even by 1920 the nation’s heartland remained predominantly rural and most children in the region were still raised on farms. Pamela Riney-Kehrberg retells their stories, offering glimpses—both nostalgic and realistic—of a bygone era. As Riney-Kehrberg shows, the experiences of most farm children continued to reflect the traditions of family life and labor, albeit in an age when middle-class urban Americans were beginning to redefine childhood as a time reserved for education and play. She draws upon a wealth of primary sources—not only memoirs and diaries but also census data—to create a vivid portrait of midwestern farm childhood from the early post–Civil War period through the Progressive Era growing pains of industrialization. Those personal accounts resurrect the essential experience of children’s work, play, education, family relations, and coming of age from their own perspectives. Steering a middle path between the myth of wholesome farm life and the reality of work that was often extremely dangerous, Riney-Kehrberg shows both the best and the worst that a rural upbringing had to offer midwestern youth a time before mechanization forever changed the rural scene and radio broke the spell of isolation. Down on the farm, truancy was not uncommon and chores were shared across genders. Yet farm children managed to indulge in inventive play—much of it homemade—to supplement store-bought toys and to get through the long spells between circuses. Filled with insightful personal stories and graced with dozens of highly evocative period photos, Childhood on the Farm is the only general history of midwestern farm children to use narratives written by the children themselves, giving a fresh voice to these forgotten years. Theirs was a way of life that was disappearing even as they lived it, and this book offers new insight into why, even if many rural youngsters became urban and suburban adults, they always maintained some affection for the farm.

Download or read book Legacies of Dust written by Douglas Sheflin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was the worst ecological disaster in American history. When the rains stopped and the land dried up, farmers and agricultural laborers on the southeastern Colorado plains were forced to adapt to new realities. The severity of the drought coupled with the economic devastation of the Great Depression compelled farmers and government officials to combine their efforts to achieve one primary goal: keep farmers farming on the Colorado plains. In Legacies of Dust Douglas Sheflin offers an innovative and provocative look at how a natural disaster can dramatically influence every facet of human life. Focusing on the period from 1929 to 1962, Sheflin presents the disaster in a new light by evaluating its impact on both agricultural production and the people who fueled it, demonstrating how the Dust Bowl fractured Colorado's established system of agricultural labor. Federal support, combined with local initiative, instituted a broad conservation regime that facilitated production and helped thousands of farmers sustain themselves during the difficult 1930s and again during the drought of the 1950s. Drawing from western, environmental, transnational, and labor history, Sheflin investigates how the catastrophe of the Dust Bowl and its complex consequences transformed the southeastern Colorado agricultural economy.
