Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The University of Minnesota; Current Problems, Vol. 5: Social and Economic Survey of a Community in Northeastern Minnesota In selecting localities for the social and economic surveys conducted by the Division of Research in Agricultural Economics of the University of Minnesota, it has been the object to choose communities that are typical of different sections of the State. The first, published in 1913, covered a township in Southeastern Minnesota which is representative of those regions where diversified farming and dairying have reached a fairly high state of development. The community selected for this survey is in the cut-over section of Eastern Minnesota (between the Twin Cities and Duluth), where potato raising and dairying are the principal sources of agricultural income, and where farms are comparatively small. The other community selected is in the Red River Valley, near Crookston, and is typical of the large-farm grain-growing section of the State. The field work for these last two surveys, of which this is one, was performed during the summer of 1913. This survey, and the one taken simultaneously in the Red River Valley, differ from that previously published in that an attempt has been made to include both a farming and a village community, instead of a farming community alone. A village has been selected as the center of economic activities, and the territory covered is that which is tributary to the village, i. e., the territory which uses the village both as a shipping point and as a place to buy supplies and professional services. In this way, it has been intended not only to bring out a comparison between life on the farm and life in a small Minnesota village, but also to bring out the economic dependence of the one on the other. In this survey, it was found that the differentiation between village life and farm life has developed to such a relatively slight extent, that the two are carried along together in the presentation of the data. In the Red River Valley survey, on the other hand, the village life is so entirely different from farm life that the two have been treated separately.
