Overview

"A hard look at the problems of agriculture in a growing industrial economy by the 1955 Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Des Moines Register and Tribune. His book is a clear and authoritative call for a ""new look"" at farm policy, written for both the city and farm reader. Originally published in 1957. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905."
