Excerpt from Railways and Agriculture, 1900-1910 In the railway industry so large an initial investment in fixed plant is required in order to operate at all, that for a considerable time after being opened for traffic the plant is likely not to be fully utilized, and hence additional applications of labor and equipment are rewarded by a more than proportionate increase in output. In other words, efficiency tends steadily to increase up to the time that the plant is completely utilized. No such large initial investment is required in agriculture, and the point is more quickly reached where there is even a less than proportionate reward for each new applica tion of capital and labor. That the point of diminishing return has been reached in the case of many railways is undoubtedly true. It is frequently asserted that the farmer suffers from the dis advantage that the quantity of land is fixed, and that he cannot increase it at will. This impression, only in part true, probably arises from the fact that the governmental policy of free land is practically at an end, and that if the farmer wants more land, he must, as does the railway when it extends its lines, invest more capital. There is still opportunity open to the farmer to extend his productive area. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Railroads and Farming: Some Influences Affecting the Progress of Agriculture The most prominent of all classes of occupations which have aided agriculture is that of transportation. The railroad companies are now making, and for a number of years have made, special efforts, apart from their strictly transportation business, to promote agri culture. There have been at least two strong motives for the rail road companies to do this. One motive has been andis the large percentage of the revenue which is due to the farm. During the year ending June 30, 1910, the revenue from four classes of farm products, grain, hay, cotton, and live stock, amounted to on those roads for which reports on this subject were made to the Interstate Commerce Commission; they operated more than one half the mileage of the United States, and carried about one-half of the total tonnage. With the data for these companies as a basis, it is estimated that 10 per cent of the total freight revenue of the railroads of the United States was derived from carrying grain, hay, cotton, and live stock.
