Excerpt from Sky Copyright
During the past two decades there has been a more rapid movement from the older established communities into the newly developing sections of the United States and Canada than during any previous period of equal length. For various reasons many farmers have left their old home surroundings and have established new homes in sections where land values are lower, but where opportunities for higher development are promising. Thousands of people in the cities and towns have become land hungry and the "back to the land" movement has assumed considerable proportions. People in the various professions and in practically all walks of life are today giving more thought and consideration to the question of securing their living, in part at least, directly from the soil, than ever before in the history of our country.
It is our object to analyze very briefly a few of the conditions surrounding this movement and to inquire into some of the reasons why the feeling of unrest and the germ of discontent has taken hold of so many people.
It is also our aim to give such information, concerning the agricultural and soil conditions in the United States and Western Canada, as will assist those desiring a change, in selecting locations in which to establish permanent farm homes, and to point out other reliable sources of information which should be drawn upon freely. The country is flooded every year with highly colored literature advertising farm lands, colonization propositions and all sorts of real estate schemes in all parts of the country.
