Side 112 - Land without population is a wilderness, and population without land is a mob. The United States has many social, political, and economic questions, some old, some new, to settle in the near future; but none so fundamental as the true relation of the land to the national life.
Side 139 - Federal intermediate credit bank, with its indorsement, any note, draft, bill of exchange, debenture, or other such obligation the proceeds of which have been advanced or used in the first instance for any agricultural purpose or for the raising, breeding, fattening, or marketing of live stock...
Side 139 - Board, to borrow money and to issue and to sell collateral trust debentures or other similar obligations with a maturity at the time of issue of not more than five years, which shall be secured by at least a like face amount of cash, or notes or other such obligations discounted or purchased or representing loans made under...

Yet these are not exaggerated statements. In a world where there are tens of millions who need food and clothing which they cannot get, such a condition is sure to indict a social system which makes it possible.
Side 116 - Land economics is that division of economics, theoretical and applied, which is concerned with the land as an economic concept and with the economic relations which grow out of land as property.
Side 11 - American plantations in a given year, will actually be worth more to the producers than 13,000,000 bales would have been.

Side 111 - My own conviction has long been that the land question far transcends any restricted field of economics, and that it is fundamental to national survival and national welfare. It is truly a problem calling for statesmanship of the broadest type.
Side 8 - He comes nearest to being self-sufficient; but precisely because of this he has not claimed for himself the right to employ those means of cooperation, coordination, and consolidation which serve so usefully in other industries. A score or more of manufacturers consolidate their interests under a corporate organization, and attain a great increase of their power in the markets, whether they are buying or selling.
