Contributions to the American Journal of Agricultural Economics were tabulated for the periods 1953–1962, 1963–1967, and 1968–1972. Institutional juxtaposition through time for both invited and noninvited articles was observed. Rankings by subject category were provided for the most recent five-year period.

Economic Aspects of Feeding for Milk Production

This study2 deals primarily with this problem: (1) By establishing the characteristics and implications of the milk production function implied in the dairy feeding standards and recommendations; (2) By studying the inconsistencies between the production function implied in feeding recommendations and (a) the economists general concept of production functions, and (b) the generally available experimental data and information; (3) By synthesizing some empirical milk production data consistent with (a) the economists general concept of production function and (b) the generally available experimental data and information; (4) By illustrating the use of the resultant production function in practical feeding problems; (5) By pointing out other uses for the general approach presented.
