EVOLUTION OF AGRICULTURE AND
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY &, J.. SMITH,
by {. J.. SMITH,
Agriculturist OF the O-W. II. K y. Co.
(The first of IA series of three artiCle>.)

The term agriculture covers the
entire field of food production and Il
large proportion OF the raw material
that forms the basis of manufactur
ing. 1t is the oldest calling of which
we have any historic record. Through
all the ages it has been the most in
portant factor in the upbuilding and
maintenance of what we call civilZa-
Ition. In the business of agriculture
man becomes the partner of nature,
combining the inorganic elements of
the earth with air, water and sun
shine to produce new forms of matter
to be used for food and raiment. 1t
has been truly said, "The farmers
gain is no mans loss" His skill and
labor feed the world.
The general idea of agriculture has
to do with food production and in this
discussion l shall deal only with that
phase of the business, and with
changes in our country during the
past century.
The farmers of 1913 were first of
all home builders. They secured
land, not SO much with the idea of
making money as of making a home,
producing on the farm, SO far as prac-
ticable, all the things necessary for
the comfort of the family. All the
food and most of the clothing were
home grown and home made. Flax
and wool were carded, spun, dyed
and woven by the thrifty housewife.
The hide of the young bullock that
furnished the seasons supply of beef
was tanned, dressed and made into
boots and shoes by the farmer and
his sons.
The virgin soil was fertile and
easy of tillage. The uncultivated
lands furnished free summer pastur-
age for small herds of cattle. Hogs

thrived and multiplied, and lived on
the roots and nuts in the primeval
forest. The hoe, mattock, scythe,
cycle, rake and fork were about all
the farm implements. The small
farmer or new settler threshed his
grain with fail. The more welltodo
had large barn and threshing floor,
where oxen tramped the grain until
it was shelled from the straw. The
straw was raked and forked off, and
then on windy day the grain would
be cleaned by tossing it in the air
until the chaff was blown away.
The travelling tailor, shoemaker or
seamstress was usually paid in meat,
meal or wool. Surplus farm products
would be exchanged in the towns or
villages for extras of some sort, but
very rarely for money.
The South and the North.
In the South, under the slave sys-
TEN, the large plantations produced
cotton, sugar and tobacco for export.
In the North the system of farming
was very diversified, with livestock
in some form as an important factor.
Corn was the leading crop. In fact,
corn furnished the staple food for the
great majority of the people. Wheat
was gradually introduced, but the
smaller yields per acre and the labor
of harvesting, threshing and grinding
made wheat -four a luxury. Owing
to this fact the price was higher and
the market better for wheat than for
other crops. Thus it was among the
first products from the New England
and Middle States to be grown for ex-
port. With the crude implements in
use it required about 10 hours of
manual labor to produce one bushel
of wheat.
With the growth of cities along the
seabOard, the navigable streams and
inland lakes, trade and commerce
grew. Grain, meat, fruit and vege.
tables began to be produced for mar
ket.
The steamboat and the railroad ia
cilitated the marketing and greatly
stimulated the production of market
able farm produce. The invention
of grain harvesting machinery,
threshing machines, steel plows, seed
drills and other labor saving devices,
lessened the labor cost of production
and vastly increased the amount pro-
duced. .~~,
Then came the Civil War, the
homestead bill, the settlement Of the
vast prairies of the Middle West,
railroad building on a tremendous
scale. Wheat and corn were the pio-
neer crops. They could be exchanged
for cash at the nearest railroad sta
ton or steamboat landing.
These cash crops could be pro-
duced in single season. The farm
err needed money and he concen-
trated his energy on the production
of the one crop until it became a
sort of mania with him. He lost in
terest in home-making, in livestock,
in soil fertility, in fact everything
except the production of crop that
he could exchange for cash.
When Education Began.
Just at this period began the first
general movement that could be
called Agricultural Education" So
long as the diversified system pre-
vailed, with livestock always factor,
