This book comprises a fascinating discussion of the future of agriculture as conceived at the start of the twentieth century. It explores the advantages which societies could derive from a combination of industrial pursuits with intensive agriculture, and ''brain work'' with manual work. This is a book that is sure to appeal to those with a keen interest in the history of agriculture, and is a text not to be missed by the discerning collector of vintage farming literature. Chapters include: ''The Decentralisation of Industries'', ''The Possibilities of Agriculture'', ''Small Industries and Industrial Villages'', ''Brain Work and Manual Work'', and more.
