Excerpt from Agriculture in Oxfordshire, 1916: A Survey Made on Behalf of the Institute for Research in Agricultural Economics, University of Oxford
The scheme for an economic survey of agriculture in Oxfordshire owed its inception to Professor W. G. S. Adams, a member of the Advisory Committee of the Institute. It was felt that an investigation into the present condition of the agricultural industry would be of the utmost assistance to the Institute in deciding how best to approach the problems with which it had been established to deal, if, indeed, it were not an absolutely essential preliminary to such work. At the same time the publication of the information collected, and the discussion of the problems encountered, would be of assistance and value to the agri cultural community and also to that large section of the general public to whom the land is a subject of unfailing interest.
