Excerpt from American Farming and Food The present volume is the result of a visit to the United States in the autumn of 1879. I then travelled through the wheat regions of the Red River, Manitoba, and the great Mississippi basin, examined crops and farming in Illinois, Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa and Kansas, and inspected some of the valuable herds and studs of Kentucky and other states. Wherever I went I found everyone courteous, and ready to furnish information regarding the country and its wonderful and varied resources. Amongst many things new and notable to a stranger, I was particularly impressed with the sobriety, assiduity, adaptability, and energy of the people their appreciation of the advantages of education; their ingenious application of labour-saving machinery; and their progress in almost every department of industry.

Excerpt from The World Agricultural Situation 1959 Consumption of most farm products will increase this season, though not as much as supplies. Demand for food continues strong.

Excerpt from The World Agricultural Situation, 1963 Some progress toward a better balance between world agricultural production and effective demand was made in 1962, and further progress is expected in 1963. World agricultural output for crop year 1962 - 63 is estimated at about 3 percent above that of 1961-62. The high level of agricultural trade reached in 1961 was continued in 1962. World export prices of primary food products in 1962 generally rose slightly after several years of steady decline. Decreases occurred among some nonfood farm products, and for some edible oils. The 1 percent increase in per capita production of farm products in 1962 - 63 is not expected to lower prices, because of gains in consumer income.
