Excerpt from The Agricultural Outlook for 1936 During the 1934 - 35 fertilizer season the fertilizer industry operated under a code of the National Recovery Administration. The effect of the code was to raise and maintain prices. These codes were terminated in May 1935. The 1934 - 35 fertilizer tonnage was 10 percent larger than in the preceding Season in the 12 Southern States as shown by fertilizer-tag sales and 26 percent larger in 5 Midwestern States. Combined sales in the two areas were 11 per cent larger than in the preceding season and the highest since the 1930 - 31 season. With but little change in income from the 1935 crops of cotton and to bacco than that secured a year earlier, no marked increase in fertilizer use is expected during the coming year.

Excerpt from The Agricultural Outlook for 1930 Taxes on farm property in the United States as a whole may be expected to increase for some time, although it appears certain that the rate of increase will be less than the average rate since 1913. Estimated average taxes per acre of farm real estate increased 134 per cent from 1913 to 1924, principally because of increased expenditures for schools and roads. By 1928 taxes per acre had advanced to 146 per cent above the 1913 level. It is most unlikely that there will be a sufficient abatement in the demand for public improvements and services to permit a general reduction in State and local expenditures. Taxes on farm property will not decline and probably will continue to increase unless the several States should (1) provide more effective control over the tendency of expenditures to increase and (2) revise further their systems of taxation so that a substantially greater share of the necessary expenditures would be met by revenues derived from sources other than general property. Past experience indicates that progress along these lines will be slow unless there should develop an unusually strong demand for practical and far-reach ing improvements in State and local finance. Rapid changes in farm production practices during the last decade have introduced new features into the agricultural situation. There seems little doubt but that the rapid development and adoption of improved farm machinery, particularly the all-purpose tractor and the variety of new cultivating and harvesting equipment associated therewith. Will continue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The 1936 Agricultural Outlook for California: Contribution From the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics The purpose of this report is to make available to the farmers of the state information that will afford them a better understanding of the conditions in the markets where their products are sold and of the forces which influence prices. In formulating farming plans and programs and in deciding on adjustments that may be desirable on any farm or in any area, producers - individually and collectively - should take into account not only the conditions on their own farms, but also market conditions and price prospects. Further, the welfare both of individual farmers and of whole groups in particular areas will be affected by the plans which producers in competing areas are making. Planning with a fuller knowledge of all these influences will help farmers to hold the gains of recent years and will be necessary if the agricultural production of the different areas in the state in the year ahead is to be kept in bal ance with production in other areas and states, and in line with the best interests of the nation.

Excerpt from Agricultural Economics Extension Work in 1936 County agents and specialists met these enlarged requests for assist ance in solving economic problems despite greater demands for their services in other fields of extension activity. The number of meetings concerning economic problems held in the various counties increased from.56,247 in 1935 to in 1936. The number of economic news articles published and cir cular letters issued practically doubled. Agents and specialists made farm.and home visits in 1936 as compared with in 1935 and received nearly 4%-million office calls relative to economic problems as compared with less than 2 million during the previous year. Increased help was given to farmers in planning adjustments on their individual farms, and in familiarizing farmers with.the general economic outlook and the outlook for the various commodities. Assistance given to individuals on farm business records was somewhat less than in 1935 but equal to the level reached in 1934, which was approximately double that of the previous years.
