"We have never read a book on The Grange which contains more practical information. Every member should read this book, and we should like to have it read by town and city people, too."--_Rural New Yorker_.
THE LABOR MOVEMENT AND THE FARMER
By HAYES ROBBINS
The labor question of factory and town crowds in upon the farm on every side--in the price of almost everything the farmer buys, in the freight he pays, in the higher wages and shorter hours he must bid against for help. This book gives us the labor movement as it actually is, and what it proposes, as it affects especially the farmer.
For twenty years Mr. Robbins has been studying industrial problems. At one time he was connected with the New York Central Railroad, and in 1905 he undertook organization of the Civic Federation of New England, devoted to the betterment of relations between employers and employees.
During the war he a.s.sisted in the organization of the Committee on Labor Advisory Commission to the Council of National Defense.
THE COUNTY AGENT AND THE FARM BUREAU
By MAURICE CHASE BURRITT, Vice-Director Extension Department, New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell University.
Despite its prominence during the past few years, the county agent farm bureau movement is not fully understood or appreciated either by the general public or by farmers themselves. This book describes in detail the work of the county agent and farm bureau and gives an historical sketch of their development.
THE FARMER AND HIS COMMUNITY
By DWIGHT SANDERSON, Head of the Department of Rural Social Organization, New York College of Agriculture, Cornell University.
The rapid spread of the rural community idea, due in part to the recent work of county agents and county farm bureaus, calls for a book which describes in plain terms just what this idea means and just how important it is in rural progress. This book does these two things in a way that promises to make it an important contribution to the farmers' thinking.

By FRANK A. WAUGH, Head of the Division of Horticulture and Professor of Landscape Gardening, Ma.s.sachusetts Agricultural College.
Country Planning is not a fad involving the expenditure of sums of money for useless "frills" but is a practical means of getting better results with money that must be expended in such changes as disposition of lands, the location of roads, the furnishing of playgrounds, forests, and school grounds, etc. How these changes may be wisely directed is told in this book.
