Making the Farm Pay (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781444643879)

"Making the Farm Pay" is a 1913 guide to setting up and running a profitable farm, with chapters on the contemporary market and innovations, land management, growing a variety of lucrative fruits and vegetables, how and who to employ, dairy production, etc. Although old, a lot of the information contained within this volume is timeless and will be of considerable utility to modern farmers and landowners. Contents include: "The Modern Farmer's Opportunity", "One of the Great Questions of the Day", "Arguments for Diversified Farming", "Farming More Profitable Than Ever", "Aim to Get Above the Average", "City Men Succeed on Farms", "Results Which May Be Attained", "Succession Crops Feasible Earning Capacity of Land Requires Study", "Learn How to Go Back to the Land", "Avoid the Single Farming Interest", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
