Iceland in the Dawn of Its Modern Era and a Dairy Prospect
A travelogue details Reykjavik and Icelandic life, noting the althing and university, lava rifts and Thingvellir, Thingvallir and Hekla trips, and a cultural shift toward home rule. It also covers Icelandic fishing and farming, trout and salmon, and the Viking-era laws along with a glimpse of dairy farming and its soil fertility value. A separate essay promotes the National Dairy Show in Chicago with Prof Farrington on dairying profitability and farm fertility, urging farmers to explore modern dairy practices.
