Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rural Denmark and Its Schools Rural life in our country is undergoing a most remarkable - though very natural - transition. The day of pioneering is at an end, and the period of land exploitation, in the midst of which we have been living, is likely to yield soon to genuine husbandman farming. Indeed, new adjustments in national life are forcing the changes upon us. We must either become a nation of scientific producers from the soil or we shall soon find ourselves reduced to the condition of older nations whose civilization has long suffered from the effects of diminishing returns. The United States is no longer solely agricultural. In fact, we are to-day half agricultural and half industrial, and our organized industrial centers will probably continue to outgrow the rural communities. The immediate proof of our unbalanced national life can be seen in the fact that the agricultural production does not any longer keep pace with the demands made upon it. The Federal Census for 1910 shows that in the ten years from 1899 to 1909 agricultural production in the United States increased less than 10 per cent, while the population increased all of 21 per cent. The American boast has been that we can feed the world. And yet, during the past year our imports in meat products have far exceeded the exports.
