Item Century of Population Growth Minnesota(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954-02) Nelson, Lowry; Ramsey, Charles E.; Toews, JacobTHE STUDY OF POPULATION trends is an important factor in future planning. Whether the programs are economic or social, and whether they are local, state-wide, or national, they require a knowledge of the number of people in relation to a given area. For instance, the effect of the rapid increase in the populatiol’l on land values in the nineteenth century is well known to most Americans. Fortunes were made from the un earned increment in values simply because of the increase in the number of people and, therefore, in the demand for land.Item Century of Population Growth Minnesota(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954-02) Nelson, Lowry; Ramsey, Charles E.; Toews, JacobItem Education of the Farm Population in Minnesota(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1944-06) Nelson, LowryItem Farm Retirement in Minnesota(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1947-03) Nelson, LowryItem Making Community Surveys: Helps, Suggest ions, References(University of Minnesota Extension Service, 1941) Nelson, Lowry; Wakefield, OlafItem Migration in Minnesota 1940-1950(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954-01) Ramsey, Charles E.; Orman, Allan D.; Nelson, LowryMIGRATION performs at least two important functions in society. First, it is the way by which the labor force ad justs to employment opportunities in different geographic areas. Second, it is one means the individual has of finding a more satis factory environment and occupation. This process goes on con tinuously as a result of the decisions of individuals or groups.Item Migration in Minnesota: 1940-50(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954-01) Ramsey, Charles E.; Orman, Allan D.; Nelson, LowryItem Population Trends in Minnesota, 1940(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1945-06) Nelson, Lowry; Clampitt, HazelItem Rural Social Organization: Goodhue County(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949-02) Alexander, Frank D.; Nelson, LowryItem Satisfaction in Living: Farm versus Village(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1943-06) McVoy, Edgar C.; Nelson, LowryItem Social Change in Goodhue County 1940-65(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1966) Nelson, Lowry; Donohue, GeorgeTHIS REPORT DEALS WITH SOCIAL CHANGE as it manifested itself in a representative area of Minnesota. It describes and analyzes some modifications in individual and collective behavior that occurred in Goodhue County over a period of time. And time is of the essence. Change is observable only by intervals of measured time-there must be a starting and an ending point. These base marks are not easy to come by in the social sciences, at least not with the precision ideally desired. Nevertheless, some approximations are possible. A major resource for this study of social change was the U. S. census. We gave major emphasis to the 1940 and 1960 reports. However, the 1940 census was not always comparable with the 1960. Therefore, when 1950 data were more nearly comparable with 1960, they were used instead. Furthermore, several changes in institutional structure, which took place during the time interval concerned, were matters of record. A supplementary resource was an earlier study of the same area.1 But the time periods used in the two studies were not uniform. The earlier study was made during late 1946 and early 1947; we interviewed for this report during late 1958, 1959, and early 1960. The project's design permitted certain judgments and implications regarding change to be drawn. vVe interviewed a random sample of farm, hamlet, village, and urban residents. Such a cross section of social groups permits some generalizations from the observed differences and likenesses.Item Some Problems of Minnesota Rural Youth(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1942-05) Nelson, Lowry; Mitchell, Donald; Jacobson, ErnstItem Trends in Rural-Urban Distribution of Hospital Facilities and Physicians in Minnesota(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1955) Nelson, Lowry; Francis, Roy G.
