Bursa Agricultural Society was founded in 1927 in Bursa, a province in
Western Anatolia. The aim of the society was to create mutual communication
between the farmers, to seek to resolve their problems and to widespread the
practice of modern agricultural techniques in the region. To fulfill these goals,
the society launched in 1927 a journal Asri Çiftçi (The Modern Farmer). The
title of the journal reflects par excellence the aim of the society. Ten issues were
published between August 15th, 1927 and May 15th, 1928. The target
readership comprised the farmers, agriculturists, the sericulturists and the
stockbreeders. Therefore, the articles dealt mostly with the application of
farming techniques, and were easy to read. The journal also published articles
on the foundation of the Society, its regulations, members and activities. Thus,
it can be regarded as a reference publication for the history of the farming in
early 20th century Turkey since it informed the reader on the issues affecting
the agricultural production in the early years of the Turkish Republic. Published
by a society, the journal differentiate from other Turkish agricultural journals
that were published by state’s educational institutions or ministries. The
members of the editorial board and the authors that contributed to the journal
were, however, state officials such as the agricultural officers of various districts
of Bursa province, the surgeon of the military veterinary hospital, the director of
the Bursa chamber of commerce and industry, the head of the comittee to fight
against malaria, the Public Health Authority and directors and teachers at the
Bursa School of Agriculture, and the School of Sericulture. The journal seems
to have been published through the efforts of Sadullah Bey, the secretary of the
Society, the editorinchief of the journal, and professor at the schools of
agriculture and commerce in Bursa. The reasons why and how the society and
the journal come to an end still need to be investigated.
