Inhoud:

William J. Spillman (1863-1931), considered the founder of agricultural economics, was a scientist and agricultural educator for USDA. Laurie Winn Carlson looks at Spillman's career as he moved from Missouri to Washington, where his concepts shaped what became the agricultural New Deal and, eventually, the farm allotment programs.
