Excerpt from The Economic Review, 1902, Vol. 12: Published Quarterly for the Oxford University Branch of the Christian Social UnionIn the neighbouring country of Switzerland forms a leading head of agricultural co-operation. (the consorzio of Parma, how ever, maintains seventeen stations, where bulls' of the Schwyz breed are kept to good purpose.) Neither is anything done by the syndicates for irrigation, which in many places would be a great boon and is distinctly practicable. But two syndicates, now constructing large reservoirs for the generation of electric power (a commercial undertaking), will provide irrigation inci dentally. Moreover, this system of co-operation does not greatly benefit the small cultivators, nor help to settle the landless labourers, who are often without work and generally miserable, on the land. Some of the coneorzi have begun selling members' produce, or taking it in exchange. But little is done as yet in this direction, one difficulty being that the bulk of the produce is not by any means always up to sample.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
