    Osmosis Case Study

    Times were difficult in Habersham County. The skyrocketing prices of fuel and food were threatening to bankrupt the Johnson family’s small farm, which was no match for the multi-million-dollar mega-farms that had been popping up all over the southeast. Joseph, the family patriarch, was especially troubled by the farm’s financial circumstances. He knew that this year’s corn crop was his best chance to save the farm, and his distress was evident to his family as they sat around the dinner table.…

    The Farmers' Movement, 1870-1900 DBQ

    Many of the financial troubles faced by farmers portrayed them to be not the indispensible feeding hand of America, but perhaps just the opposite, as stated by Mary E. Lease: The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master. The West and South are bound and prostrate before the manufacturing East. (Document C) Lease provides a vital historical aspect of farming, comparing farmers to common people, rather than the agricultural giants that they are today. It thus becomes apparent why a worker putting so much effort into his business but getting so little out would wish to revolt. Railroad companies that charged four times as much as on the East gave farmers incentive to band together in order to combat outrages rates politically (Document D). Freight rates especially hurt farmers, who were far from both buying and selling markets, a clever extortion trick by the railroad companies to force farmers into paying at every occasion (Document F).…

    serfs rights and responsibilities

    When the lord's crops were ready to be harvested, so were his own. On the other hand, the serf of a benign lord could look forward to being well fed during his service; it was a lord without foresight who did not provide a substantial meal for his serfs during the harvest and planting times. In exchange for this work on the lord's demesne, the serf had certain privileges and rights, including for example the right to gather deadwood from their lord’s forests, an essential fuel source.…

    What Caused the Dust Bowl

    Next, the heavy farming machinery being used destroyed the plains and eventually led to the Dust Bowl. Fred Folker, a farmer, purchased and used a tractor that did the work of ten horses. (Doc C). By using this new tractor, Folkers was able to produce a greater amount of goods than before. On top of that, this tractor also increased the amount of shortgrass destroyed. The number of acres that were harvested between 1899 and 1929 doubled in eight Great Plains states (Doc D). This new, heavy machinery that many farmers used crushed the dirt and soil into smaller pieces and could easily be swept up into the air by the winds.…

    Hay Baleer Problem

    This weeks P.O.W. was named, "The Hay Baler Problem", it was about a hay baler who had just finished weighing five bales of hay. Unfortunately, he weighed the bales was in combinations of two. He weighed bale 1 with 2, 1 with 3, 1 with 4, and every other two-baled combination. In the end, he came up with a set of 10 different weights. However, he did not remember which order he weighed the bales and was now supposed to determine the weight of each individual bale, not the bale combinations. Using the final weights (in kilograms) he came up with from all the bale combinations: 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90 and 91, it is your job to figure out the final weight of each of the five individual bales of hay. Also, you may want to find out if there is possibly more than one set of weights for this problem, and how you know this.…
