Publisher's Synopsis
Power And The Plow is a book written by Lynn Webster Ellis and published in 1911. The book explores the relationship between farmers and the rapidly changing world of technology and industry in the early 20th century. It argues that the traditional ways of farming, which relied on manual labor and simple tools, were being replaced by new machines and methods that promised greater efficiency and productivity. Ellis examines the impact of these changes on individual farmers, their families, and their communities. He also discusses the larger economic and social implications of the shift from small-scale, subsistence farming to large-scale, commercial agriculture. Throughout the book, Ellis emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between technological progress and the needs of farmers and rural communities. He argues that while new machines and methods can bring great benefits, they must be implemented in a way that respects the values and traditions of those who rely on the land for their livelihoods. Overall, Power And The Plow is a thoughtful and insightful examination of the challenges facing farmers in the early 20th century, and a call for a more thoughtful and sustainable approach to agricultural development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
