Overview

Excerpt from Co-Operation in Danish Agriculture IN the following pages Mr. Faber has taken the Danish text of Mr. Hertel's Report on the Development of the Co - operative movement in Danish Agriculture and put it into a form suitable for English readers. We have had several accounts before, notably those by Mr. Christopher Tumor, Levy, Wolfi', and others, but none covering the same ground as this. Previous writers have described from without: they have visited Denmark, seen the wonderful results achieved by the Danish farmer, and on returning home have recorded their impressions. The present book deals with the movement from within: Mr. Hertel, through his intimate association with the Danish Central Co-operative Committee, and the Royal Danish Agricultural Society, has access to all the records of the movement, while Mr. Harald Faber not only knows Danish agriculture thoroughly, but is also well acquainted with English conditions. English experts have long since learnt to ask Mr. Faber whenever any question arose as to Danish agriculture; they will have in this book a valuable summary of the information he has been in the habit of giving them. It would be difficult to find a more entrancing subject than the history of Danish agriculture between 1860 and 1912, roughly the period covered by the book. Up to the beginning of this period the story has been much the same as our own there had been a steady improvement from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the culmination in the 'sixties.
