Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Co-Operative Labour Upon the Land (and Other Papers): The Report of a Conference Upon Land, Co-Operation, and the Unemployed, Held at Holborn Town Hall in October, 1894
The first relates to the reduction of arable land. In the last two decades about two million acres of English land have passed from arable use into the condition described as permanent pasture. Closely associated with this change is the marked diminution in the number of agricultural labourers. This movement, as will appear from the following statement drawn from the census returns, began long before the signal fall of rents and agricultural prices, but has proceeded with increased acceleration dur ing the last two decades.
