Abstract
MR. LONG starts with the idea that it is very desirable for the purpose of maintaining a vigorous rural population that the number of small farms cultivated by their owners should be considerably increased. Nearly everyone will probably agree to this proposition. When, however, we learn the conditions needed for the success of the small farmer, and which are plainly set forth by the skilful writer of the present book, we become more and more convinced that the extent to which successful farming of this kind can be developed under present conditions is very limited.
The Small Farm and its Management.
