First published in 1933 as useful guide book during the height of the Distributist Back to the Land Movement. As useful today as it was in 1933 the author gives straightforward advice about how to successfully start a small family farm operation. Included are chapters on types of farms, the family, experience and training, finding capital, specialization and more. "A very shrewd and forcible little book... forms an excellent text for that particular truth that is most needed at the moment." - G.K. Chesterton "As one not unfamiliar with the problems treated, I can cordially recommend this most useful compendium." - Stanley B. James
