Farm Mortgages in the United States: Selected References to Material Published January 1928 - April 1933

This bibliography is confined chiefly to studies and discussions of farm mortgages in the United States which were published from January 1928 through April 1933, although a few references printed during the last part of 1927 have been included. It contains references to Federal laws, and Congressional hearings and documents. References to the enactments of State legislatures for the relief of agricultural indebtedness have been omitted, as they may be found in Agricultural Economics Bibliography no, 45, State Measures for the Relief of Agricultural Indebtedness in the United States, 1932 and 1933, compiled by L.O. Bercaw, M.T. Olcott, and M.F. Carpenter. The National Underwriter, Life Insurance Edition, and the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, 1928 to date, have been searched for news items and articles on farm mortgages. The catalogues of the libraries of the United States Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, and that of the Library of Congress were checked. The Agricultural Index, Experiment Station Record, Public Affairs Information Service, and the International Index to Periodicals were also consulted.
