TL;DR: The work of as discussed by the authors focuses on the identification and description of the spatial characteristics of processes of change in economic activity patterns and in the analysis of these processes for purposes of explaining present and projecting future patterns.
Abstract: nomic geographers consists of the identification and description of the spatial characteristics of processes of change in economic activity patterns and in the analysis of these processes for purposes of explaining present and projecting future patterns. The forces which are underlying these processes of change are not only \"economic\" in nature; they may originate in any of society's cultural institutions and value systems. The structural and functional characteristics of the microunit, and the way in which it combines productive factors and adapts to exogenous changes, are important links in the chain through which these forces work on the industrial pattern leading to economic growth, stagnation, or decline of regions.1 In economic geography-particularly in manufacturing geography-relatively few attempts have been made to take the phenomenon \"enterprise\" into account. However, it seems that geographers, realizing the geoaraphic implications of behavioral patterns of in-

Abstract: 1 There have been a number of recent books and articles on federalism and on the political and economic programs of the government: W. Anderson: The Nation and States, Rivals or Partners? (Minneapolis, 1955); J. F. Due: Government Finance (Homewood, Illinois, 1959); M. Grodzins: American Political Parties and the American System, Western Polit. Quart., Vol. 13, 1960, pp. 974-988; T.

Grants to states have been increasing about 4 per cent per year since 1960; in fact, from 1956 to 1965 there was an increase of 198 per cent. Also the amount of aid per capita has changed markedly in recent years. In 1927 the aid was $2 per person, in 1948 only $9, and in 1965 it was $79 per capita. In FY 1965 the total per capita grants received by the states exhibited a wide range, from a high of $269 per capita in North Dakota to only $42 in New Jersey (Fig. 1). In theory the major reason for the federal government supporting state programs is to place all states on somewhat of an equal level with regard to certain federal objectives.3 But this "equal treatment for equals" concept

TL;DR: The extensive depth of information now available for farm comparison is the product of long efforts by the Census Bureau at expanded coverage as mentioned in this paper, including tables that classified farm size, value of products sold, form of tenure, and expenditures according to farm specialization, or "farm type."
Abstract: The extensive depth of information now available for farm comparison is the product of long efforts by the Census Bureau at expanded coverage. The first major step occurred in 1930, when tables were published which classified farm size, value of products sold, form of tenure, and expenditures according to farm specialization, or "farm type."' It was also around this time 1 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Fifteenth Census of the United States: 1930. Agriculture, III. that Baker was using information of this kind to develop his system of agricultural regions, although his information was gleaned from unpublished 1920 Census data as well.2 Similarly, Elliott also plumbed the unpublished 1930 Census material for his detailed regionalization scheme, based on the dominant income source for the farm.3 In 1945, the Bureau took another large step by not only publishing the distribution of income sources for each farm type, but relating each of these distributions to different levels of production value, or "value groups."4 By 1948, the Bureau also found itself able to publish for each farm type the distribution of acreage among the different land uses, although it still did not relate the land use struc-
