Mainline And Peripheral Agriculture: Toward Generic Classification Of Farms, Carlton R. Sollie, Wolfgang Frese Dec 1984

Mainline And Peripheral Agriculture: Toward Generic Classification Of Farms, Carlton R. Sollie, Wolfgang Frese

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

An examination of the state of the art in the classification of farms indicates a need for more work. Classification of farms by size has been widely used and found serviceable. In a capitalistic social system, such as the United States, the most appropriate measure of the relative contributions of farms of different sizes appears to be the market value of products they sell. Accordingly, a preliminary generic typology of U.S. farms, based on published data, is proposed in which Mainline, Marginal, and Peripheral types are identified.


Economic Dualism In American Agriculture, Gary P. Green, William D. Heffernan Dec 1984

Economic Dualism In American Agriculture, Gary P. Green, William D. Heffernan

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Renewed interest in agriculture by sociologists has led to an emphasis on structural analyses of rural America. Drawing upon the dual economy model, this paper proposes an alternative concept of the changing structure of agriculture in the United States. Two industrial sectors--the core and the periphery--are defined, and their relevance to agriculture is explored. Following Averitt, agriculture is an industry which historically has had a periphery-type orientation but is now undergoing encroachment from the core economy and partially from domination by the federal government. The research implications of the dual economy model for rural sociology are discussed.


Incidence, Magnitude, And Determinants Of Off-Farm Income In Tennessee And The South, Surendra P. Singh Dec 1984

Incidence, Magnitude, And Determinants Of Off-Farm Income In Tennessee And The South, Surendra P. Singh

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The major objectives of this study are to identify the incidence and magnitude of of f-farm income in Tennessee and the South and to determine factors affecting off-farm income of a select group of farm families. Regression models were estimated using cross-sectional data collected from 193 randomly selected farm families in two Tennessee counties. Two models were estimated: the first, for the farm operator's off-farm income; and the second, for the total off-farm income of the family. The study revealed various socioeconomic factors affecting total off-farm family income and operator's off-farm income. Elasticities were also determined for each of the …


Factors Contributing To Reported Home Energy Conservation Behavior, Lionel J. Beaulieu, Michael K. Miller Dec 1984

Factors Contributing To Reported Home Energy Conservation Behavior, Lionel J. Beaulieu, Michael K. Miller

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This study extends and refines previous works by considering the relative influence that key attributes have on two types of conservation initiatives: repetitive activities requiring minimal time or cost and nonrepetitive conservation practices that entail sizable financial outlays. Data collected in a 1979 statewide survey in Florida demonstrate that while several socio-demographic variables are significant predictors of reported conservation behavior, personal perception and definition of economic circumstance is the single most important predictor.


Farm Operation Characteristics, Institutional Support, And The Use Of Soil And Water Conservation Technologies, Peter F. Korsching Dec 1984

Farm Operation Characteristics, Institutional Support, And The Use Of Soil And Water Conservation Technologies, Peter F. Korsching

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Technologies to control the severity of soil erosion and water pollution are available, and a large institutional structure supports soil conservation work, but success has been rather limited. This study of a sample of farmers in the three watersheds in central Iowa tests a number of hypotheses about the use of conservation technology. Institutional support factors were found to have a stronger relationship to the use of conservation practices than farm operation characteristics. The erosion potential of the land was conditional for specific conservation practice utilization. The use of institutional resources was positively related to farm size and scale. Thus …

Teenage Vandalism In Georgia, Douglas C. Bachtel Dec 1984

Teenage Vandalism In Georgia, Douglas C. Bachtel

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Data gathered from a selected nonmetropolitan and a metropolitan county in Georgia suggest that most junior and senior high school students had engaged in at least one act of vandalism in the previous 12 months. Vandalism most often occurred among groups of four or more people, on weekends, and outside one's own neighborhood. Reduction of teenage vandalism involves consideration of peer group influence, leisure activities, and deterrence measures.

Effects Of German Inflation On Accounting Records, Walker Eugene Fesmire

Accounting Historians Notebook

During the 1920's the German economy suffered through a terrible period of inflation. The rate of German inflation was so rapid that during the month of October 1923 only, the purchasing power of a paper mark fell from 1.0 on October 5th to 0.008 by October 31st. During the 1920's, Henry W. sweeney was attempting to develop a model for the U.S. which would handle accounting for changing prices. In preparation for the development of his model, Sweeney reviewed the German inflationary experience to determine the weaknesses of the German system.

Cpa Advertising -- Circa 1914, John Coker Oct 1984

Cpa Advertising -- Circa 1914, John Coker

Accounting Historians Notebook

This paper will seek to examine the types of advertising relating to accountants and accounting services in the first few months of 1914. This particular year was selected since it was the first year in which federal income tax returns were required to be filed. It was felt this development would lead to increased advertising by the profession and its competition during this period, although it could not be determined that this was actually true. Further, the year 1914 came in the midst of the decade leading up to 1922, the year in which advertising was prohibited by the AIA. …
