    Water for the modern farmstead.
    (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1944-03) United States. Rural Electrification Administration.
    Plenty of water is essential both productive farming and comfortable farm living. Without electricity, and adequate supply of water on the average farm has meant heavy work- time and labor spent pumping and carrying water to livestock and gardens, to dairy barns and other outbuildings, and to the kitchen and the rest of the home to keep them supplied.

    Types of Farming in North Dakota
    (1928) Elliott, F. F.; Tapp, Jesse W.; Willard, Rex E.; United States. Department of Agriculture
    Methods are presented which indicate how special tabulations of census data may be used to supplement the usual agricultural census data in arriving at important type-of-farming areas in the State and in determining the typical farming systems for different sizes of farms in each area. Examples are also given illustrating how these typical farming systems may be used in conjunction with production and price information in testing out and appraising the profitableness of different types of farms as well as long-time and year-to-year adjustments in different farming systems.
