中文摘要：

中国近代的农会出现于清末,但其作用是有限的。民国时期,南京国民政府也认识到农会的设立对其在农村基层的统治有着重要作用,先后通过颁布修改有关农会方面的支持法规来倡导在全国各地农村建立各级农会组织。但由于没有切实考虑到当时农村的实际,未能从实质上对农村存在的弊端进行改革,因而农会组织在很大程度上被南京国民政府当作基础统治的工具。故南京国民政府的农会立法对推动近代中国农业发展的作用又是有限的,渐出历史舞台也是必然的。

英文摘要：

Chinese farmer association appeared in the late Qing Dynasty,but its role was limited at the time.In the period of the Republic of China,the Nanjing National Government realized its vital role for the governance in the rural areas.The Government encouraged the establishment of farmer associations through successive promulgation and revision of related laws and regulations to support them.But Government had neither practically considered the reality of the countryside,nor been able to carry on the reforms from the essence to the rural areas,thus it treated the farmers＇ associations in the very great degree as a tool of its basic dominion.So the legislation for farmer associations of Nanjing National Government had its own limitation in promoting the development of modern agriculture and was inevitable to drop out of the stage of history.
