The aim of this paper is to make clear the countermeasure of English farm management to the great depression of agriculture in the late 19th century. During this period, English farmers were greatly depressed by low yields from bad weather and low prices of their farm products caused by free trade, and further by high rents, high wages of agricultural laborers and high rates, etc. To these conditions did they make a counterplan by the change of mixed husbandry to relatively profitable pasture farming and by the adoption of so called la petite culture that the affects of foreign competition were felt very least. But it should be noticed that these countermeasures are partly and that they aggregately leave the roots of future problem to national economy
