Farm Capital Formation and Resource Development

  • Land Policy in the Spanish Southwest, 1846–1891: A Study in Contrasts

  • Howard R. Lamar
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 February 2011, pp. 498-515

  • In Choosing to discuss land policy in that part of the Spanish Southwest which comprises present central and northern New Mexico and most of southern Colorado, I would appear to be using a model area of the West to demonstrate once again that the Homestead Act and principle were unworkable. In actuality the purpose is to note generally what can happen when an American land system runs into an older and highly different Spanish-Mexican one. As Howard W. Odum has observed, “Here two great culture systems have met and clashed and fused and are still in process of clashing and fusing.”

Agricultural Education

  • The Land-Grant Colleges and Universities in Human-Resource Development

  • Mary Jean Bowman
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 February 2011, pp. 523-546

  • Mauriac, and probably several thousand other Frenchmen, have remarked that what worried them most about the United States and Russia was not the respects in which these countries differed but rather that they were fundamentally so much alike. If Mauriac had studied the history of the land-grant colleges and universities, he might have concluded that they were both the most Russian-like and the most thoroughly American sector of our education. Where else could one find schools so materialistically oriented or so (almost) successfully Jacksonian? To look at their history and their impact on American economic life over the past century is to examine a roaringly optimistic and an almost frighteningly successful endeavor to create the men—and the women—for a mass economy.

  • Agricultural Education in Different Stages of National Development

  • Harold R. W. Benjamin
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 February 2011, pp. 547-554

  • It is the thesis of this paper that any educational system or institution, whatever its specific purpose, must be studied as a part of its people's total pattern of life. Agricultural education in any country can be understood and improved only in terms of the country's stage of development, not only in agriculture but also in all the other main enterprises of the people.
