Letter from Whitman H. Jordan to Theodore Roosevelt
Whitman H. Jordan responds to President Roosevelt’s request for his assessment of agricultural issues. He believes that the most significant changes to agriculture in the last fifty years are economic changes to farms and rural communities, which have had negative social consequences, and the application of science to agriculture. Jordan calls for “real research” in agriculture and patience for its results instead of desiring a quick return on investment.
