Overview
This special re-print edition of Liberty Hyde Bailey's book "The State and the Farmer" is a look at the relationship between farmers and the government during the early 20th century. Written in 1911, this classic text was originally based on a lecture given by the famous horticultural expert, Liberty Hyde Bailey, to the Association of American Agricultural Colleges at Lansing, Michigan on May 28th, 1907. Five hundred copies of the lecture were printed, with the demand soon requiring not only another publication, but an expansion of the principles and topics covered. Topics include The Geographical Shift in Rural Occupations, The Shift In Rural Institutions, The Abandoned Farm, Society and the Farmer - The Problem, The Nature of the Social Remedy, The Discovery of Local Facts, Particular Persons For Community Work, Government's Function in Agriculture, Redirecting Rural Institutions, The Development of Applicable Education and more. A fascinating academic view of early Rural American Life that offers solutions to numerous rural problems. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
