BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 321 



the various economic periodicals 1 bearing upon the subject under study, 

 have been consulted. The American journals are interesting because they 

 attack the questions raised from a thoroughly modern point of view and 

 in a stimulating manner. Some of the articles in them have special bearing 

 upon the subject of agricultural economics in which there is a com- 

 parative dearth of standard works. 



In the more technical aspects of the question the publications of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture already mentioned are a valuable source 

 of material and have been freely used. Numerous short summary articles 

 setting forth the results of observations, researches and experiments con- 

 ducted in the United Kingdom and elsewhere are to be found in the numbers 

 of the Journal of the Board of Agriculture. The Reports issued by agricultural 

 experiment stations and colleges 2 in various countries constitute, of course, 

 the fountain head for material in this matter ; but a number of works is now 

 available dealing with the technical side of agricultural production, and some 

 of the more recent Parliamentary Papers are concerned directly or indirectly 

 with questions under this head. For material relating to the science of 

 nutrition, in addition to the researches of Atwater, Langworthy, and others 

 published by the United States Department of Agriculture, some recent 

 publications in England are most useful ; in particular, the Report of the 

 Committee of the Royal Society (Cd. 8421), Professor T. B. Wood's National 

 Food Supply in Peace and War, and numerous recent articles by prominent 

 authorities in the scientific and in other reviews. The works of Chittenden 

 and Voit in this department of research are well known, but two short works 

 published abroad during the war-period are of practical interest at the present 

 time ; the first deals with Germany and is entitled Die Deutsche Volksernaeh- 

 rung und der Englische Aushungerungsplan, and the second with France, 

 namely, Professor Lonis Lapicque's Une Politique de Revitaillement.
