Editorial Reviews

Between 1919 and 1953, the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life in the US Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Agricultural Economics promoted sociological research on rural society and its relationships with the larger US society. In retrospect, these studies offer a historical record of rural America in a period of great change. This volume contains 1,507 citations to the work of the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
