Abstract

THE volumes before us emphasise the fact that farming involves two distinct kinds of operation, the production of crops and animals, and the marketing of the resulting commodities. Scientific investigators have in the past confined themselves almost exclusively to production, this being the side that involves the soil, the growing plant and the living animal, and with these almost all the sciences at present studied; it is quite evident, however, that there is a wide field for the economist in the marketing problems that will amply repay study.
