Originally there were five awards:literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven yearsafter the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and theinterest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.

Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminateddiploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in thejudges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.

On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power. Modern farmers now have mechanized

“hired land” and keep horses only for pleasure. Besides developing new machinery, scientists and

engineers have helped the farmers in many ways. For example, they have developed stronger fertilizers,

more effective insecticides, and hybrid seeds which produce larger, tastier fruits and vegetables. Some

farmers even have computers which help them use their resources more efficiently. As a result, the

farm of today is able to produce much more food with the same amount of labor. This means fewer but

larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers.
