Farm Tenancy in the United States, 1918-1936; A Selected List of References

Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography is a revision of, and supersedes, Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 59, Farm Tenancy in the United States, 1925-1935. It contains references to books, pamphlets, and periodical articles on farm tenancy and farm leases in the United States, published during the years 1918-1936, including some references to publications issued in 1937 and prior to 1918. The bibliography contains numerous references to publications on the southern sharecropping system and supersedes the typewritten lists issued by the library of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics on that subject. A few references on corporation farming and group management of farms have been included although no attempt has been made to list many of them. References on these subjects may be found in Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 30, Large-Scale and Corporation Farming, published in 1929, and in Agricultural Economics Bibliography No, 69, Large-Scale and Corporation Farming, published in 1937. State official publications have not been systematically examined for statistics of farm tenancy, although references to a few such publications have been included. The bibliography is in three main sections. The first contains references of a general nature; the second, references arranged by geographical divisions of the United States; and the third, references arranged by. states. The third section is followed by a short list of additional references added after the bibliography was completed. An author and subject index is appended.
