- 409 – “Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics, Michigan State University at East Lanser; formerly Advisor, Academy for Rural Development, Comilla, Bangladesh; author of several articles and monographs on rural and agricultural development in low-income nations.”
- “Despite the increasing number of professional expression of concern over the last five years about the plight of small farmers as the Green Revolution accelerates in developing nations, little analysis of the effects of alternative rural development models have appeared in this or other journals.”
- “This article presents three models of new institutional arrangements . . .. One of these, the model of an academy for rural development, also appears to provide a useful mechanism for the testing of additional models of rural development in small-farm areas of the developing world.”
- 410 – “The models are for (1) a new type of effective cooperative credit system, (2) the improvement of rural government, and (3) an academy for rural development.”
