Riassunto

Excerpt from Report of the Commission on Land Colonization and Rural Credits of the State of California, November 29, 1916

Within the last five years questions of land tenure and land settlement have assumed a hitherto unthought of importance in the Importance of United States. The causes for this are the disappear land settlement ance of free, fertile public land; the rising prices of in America privately-owned farm lands; the increase in tenant farming and a clearer recognition of its dangers; and the increasing attractions of city life which threaten the social impairment of rural communities by causing young people to leave the farms.

Some of the most enlightened nations of the world have gone far toward solving the problems created by such undesirable conditions by In other the adoption of new attitudes on the part of the govern countries ment towards land ownership and land settlement. In such countries the state has taken an active part in subdividing large estates and in creating conditions which will enable farm laborers and farmers of small capital to own their homes. They have adopted this policy because experience has shown that nonresident ownership and tenant farming are politically dangerous and socially undesirable; that ignorant and nomadic farm labor is bad; and that the balance between the growth of city and country can be maintained only through creating rural conditions which will make the farm as attractive as the office or factory for men and women of character and intelligence.
