In accordance with this measure the following report has been prepared.
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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the concept of land colonization in California and the reasons for its rise and fall throughout the 19th century. After looking at the conditions for settlers in the mid-20th century in California, the author takes a close look at the land settlement policies of various European countries. By comparing their methods to those that were in place in California, the author finds that if California wants to encourage land settlement and address the problems of tenancy and low production, then the state must adopt more liberal land-selling contracts with longer terms for repayment, lower interest rates, and more financial assistance for new settlers looking to break into the industry.
