Riassunto

Excerpt from A Graphic Summary of Farm Crops (Based Largely on the Census of 1930 and 1935)

The agricultural conquest of a virgin continent, mostly within a century, constitutes a pageant which may never occur again in human history. Essentially this conquest consisted of the preparation of the soil for the production of crops. Until less than a century ago, it was a slow-moving procession through one of the largest and densest forests in the world. Then, after a pause of perplexity at the prairie margin, the pioneers brought the grassed half of the United States into use for cr0ps in record time. The progress of settlement was, in general, from the poorer lands of the Atlantic coast to the better lands of the Pied mont and limestone valleys, then to the good forested soils of the Eastern Mississippi Valley, and still later to the excellent soils of the prairies. Instead of advancing onto poorer and poorer land, as the classical economists of England assumed, the movement until 1880 or 1890 was onto better and better land.
