Excerpt from Agriculture of the United States in 1860: Compiled From the Original Returns of the Eighth Census, Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Interior Br the foregoing table it will be perceived that, in 1860, the agricultural area Of the country embraced acres of improved land, and acres of Land Unimproved. In other words, for every two acres of improved land there are three acres of land connected therewith not yet under cultivation; while the gross aggregate of uncultivated territory, fertile and waste, swells to acres. This fact gives color to the agriculture of the country. Land is abundant and cheap, while labor is scarce and dear. Even in the older-settled States there is much land that can be purchased at extremely low rates; and, by a recent act of Congress known as the Free Homestead law, every citizen of the United States, or any foreigner who shall declare his intention of becoming a citizen, can have a farm of 160 acres without charge. As good land as any in the world is offered to actual settlers on these easy terms. Under such circumstances it is evident that the intensive system of agriculture which is practiced in some older and more densely populated countries, where labor is abundant and the land mostly under cultivation, cannot, as a general rule, be profitably adopted at present in this country. It has been said that American agriculture is half a century behind that of Great Britain. In one sense this is, perhaps, true. Our land is not as thoroughly under-drained, manured, and cultivated as that of England, Scotland, or Belgium; but we can, and do now, produce a bushel of wheat at much less cost than the most scientific farmer of England can by the best approved method Of cultivation, eren if he paid nothing for the use of his land.

Excerpt from The Green Rising: An Historical Survey of Agrarianism, With Special Reference to the Organized Efforts of the Farmers of the United States to Improve Their Economic and Social Status In the spring of 1924, the writer visited Europe for the purpose of studying rural life conditions. It became apparent that profound changes were taking place throughout the rural sections of all European countries. The traditions and customs of centuries were being greatly affected. The equilibrium between population elements had been appreciably disturbed by the war. The farm labor problem presented new aspects. The peasant farmer was experiencing financial distress as a result of falling prices and financial depression. He had become thoroughly dissatisfied and discouraged, and was uniting his efforts with industrial labor to compel legislative bodies to provide relief from existing conditions. It became increasingly apparent that the farm populations, from the Balkan States to the North Sea and westward to the Atlantic Ocean, were determined to improve their economic and social conditions. They were thinking much of economic inequalities. Adversity had aroused their consciousness of social solidarity and had caused them to realize their political strength.

Excerpt from The American Encyclopaedia of Agriculture: A Treasury of Useful Information for the Farm and Household Foul with weeds as to require a fallow, but not what is too often understood by that term in this country. In England, when a farmer was com pelled to fallow a field, he let the weeds grow into blossom and then turned them down; in America, a fallow meant a field where the pro duce is a crop of weeds running to seed. Instead of a cr0p of grain. Again, the art of breeding the best animals and the best vegetables, by a judicious selection of individuals to propagate from. These improvements, with others too numerous to be here specified, have rendered the agriculture of the early part of the century very different from that of the middle ages when it had sunk far below the degree of perfection which it had reached among the Romans. In relation to the difficulties experienced in advanc ing agricultural art in the United States, it is well known that the earliest settlers found the country a wilderness, with many varieties of climate and soil, of which they were entirely ignorant, and to which the knowledge they had obtained in the mother country did not apply. Thus, they had to contend with the innumerable obstacles, such as the wilderness of nature, their ignorance of the climate, the hostility of the In dians, the depredations of wild beasts, the diffi culty and expense of procuring seeds, farming implements and superior stock. These various difficulties are quite sufficient to explain the slow pro 'ess they made in the way of improve ment. Or many years agriculture was in an exceedingly backward and depressed condition. Stocks and tools were poor, and there were obstacles and prejudices against any innovations in the established routine of practice. This state of things continued for many years with very little change. Jared Eliot, a clergyman of Connecticut, one of the earliest agricultural writers of America, published the first of a series of valuable essays on Field Husbandry, in 1747, but with this and a few other exceptions, no real efforts were made to improve farming until after the revolution, when the more settled state of the country and the gradual increase of population, began to impress the intrinsic import ance of the subject upon the minds of a few enlightened men. They sought by associated effort to awaken an interest in the subject, and spread abroad valuable information. The South Carolina Agricultural Society was established in 1784, and still exists, and the Philadelphia Society for the Improvement of Agriculture, established in the same year, and a similar association in New York in 1791, incorporated in 1798, and the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, established in 1792, were active in their field of labor, and all accomplished import ant results. The correspondence at this period between Sir John Sinclair and Washington, shows how anxious was the father of his country to promote the highest interests of the people by the improvement of agriculture. But all the efforts of the learned, and all the investigations of the. Scientific, prove comparatively unavailing, unless the people themselves - the actual workers of the sell - are prepared to receive and profit by their teachings. Many years elapsed before the habit of reading became sufficiently common among the masses of the actual tillers of the soil. To justify an expectation that any profit would arise from the annual publication of the transactions of the several societies. Tire.

Excerpt from A History of Agricultural Experimentation and Research in the United States, 1607-1925: Including a History of the United States Department of Agriculture After the passage of the Hatch Experiment Station Act and the reorganization of the Department of Agriculture as of Cabinet rank, the work of these agencies Spread out so broadly that it was not possible to give more than brief summaries of principal undertak ings. These more and more represented the combined efforts of different individuals and institutions. Agricultural science grew chie y as the result of numerous small additions to knowledge, credit for which it was increasingly difficult to give to individuals. Results of particular projects in both their scientific and practical aspects became very hard to measure. To be at all adequate, such measurement must be the task of specialists, and for the most part this has not yet been attempted. Therefore, in this general survey of the history of agricultural experimentation and research in this country, little has been attempted beyond describing the organiza tion and equipment of such research and its general character and breadth. The material for this history has been drawn chie y from general reports of the work. An examination in detail of the vast mass of bulletins and special reports issued by the Department of Agri culture and the experiment stations was obviously impracticable. W. H. Beal and H. M. Steece of the Office of Experiment Stations carefully read the manuscript and made many helpful suggestions for its improvement. Special acknowledgment is also made of the assistance of E. B. Hawks of the Department Library, C. L. Feld kamp of the library of the Office of Experiment Stations, and J. L. Weston of this Office.
