COMMISSION ON COUNTRY LIFE

The Country-Life Movement in the United States

Bailey believed that the requirements of a good farmer were fourfold: “... the ability to make a full and comfortable living from the land; to rear a family carefully and well; to be of good service to the community; to leave the farm more productive than it was when he took it.”


L. H. Bailey. The Country Life Movement in the United States. New York: Macmillan, 1911.
