It is a mark of the truly scientific spirit that it is impatient with those who assume a truth from a part only of the facts; or who initiate practice without that thorough comprehension of the laws of the subject which can only he had when all the facts are known and their rclntions determined. The advocates of what is now popularly called "Scientific Management" assert that they aim to learn the truth concerning factory production in all its varied phases and to base upon such study a practical system of standard industrial operation -Honorable William C.

San Diego would “emerge from its semi-isolation…and take on the dignity of a metropolis, a great seaport, and a commercial center.” There was a dark side, however, to this anticipated transformation as the newspaper reported that the city would soon be overwhelmed with “thousands of strangers and to these will be added thousands of immigrants who will In 1912, San Diego’s YWCA helped visitors to find make this port their landing place.” safe housing and transit on their arrival in San Among the newcomers would be many Diego.

L S J PREFACE This work is a study of the cotton and wheat markets of the World War One era. Subjects including acreage, production, prices, and value of crops were studied. The relationship between the commodities producers and the government was also an area taken into consideration. The lobbying efforts of the cotton and wheat producers also were subjects for analysis. The study utilized figures on both national and state commodities production although the main subject of study was the impact of the World War upon the cotton and wheat markets of Oklahoma. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all those associated with this study. In particular, I am especially indebted to my committee chairman, Dr. Roger Biles, who went above and beyond the call of duty in his assistance. I am also grateful for the help provided by my other committee members, Dr. John Sylvester and Dr.
