Synopsis

Making the Farm Pay is a practical guide to maximizing farm profitability through efficient management and strategic planning. Written in the early 20th century, the book offers insight into crop selection, livestock care, and farm economics at a time of transformation in American agriculture. Emphasizing both productivity and sustainability, it provides advice for turning subsistence farming into a viable business. With real-world examples and a focus on self-reliance, the text remains a valuable historical resource on rural enterprise and agrarian life.

Colvin Cullen Bowsfield (1855-1940) wrote this 1914 guide to successful farming, in addition to Wealth from the Soil, and How Boys and Girls Can Earn Money, which sold for $1.00.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was first published five years ago to advance the principles of intensive farming and to aid in the betterment of rural life. It has been widely read and is performing its mission, biit the time has now come for revising the chaptersv which relate to commodity prices or acreage earnings, and for emphasizing the wisdom of land ownership, an improved system of farming and better methods of marketing. Agricultural conditions which have arisen as a result of the world war have also been considered in this revision. In recasting the text pertaining to these and other subjects, it is a pleasure to sky that the whole agricultural situation is encouraging; that farm profits are unparalleled in history and are likely to remaih on a high level; that land ownership is yearly becoming more desirable, and that thousands of city people are turning to the soil in the belief that it offers security and independence as well as numerous domestic and social advantages. Some incidents will illustrate how this book is serving the public. The New York City librarian on one occasion reported that Making the Farm Pay was one of the six most called for nonfiction works. This shows how city people are studying agriculture. The book is much used in other libraries and is widely circulated outside of the United States, having been translated into several languages., When a great educational society wished to know which was the best book on intensive farmii to recommend for school use i put the question to twelve editors of agricultural journals. A majority of these gentlemen replied that Bowsfield sbook, Makirig the Farm Pay, had this distinction.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
