N2  - Rural life in the year 1930 was especially marked by the economic depression and the drought. The mechanization of farming which for some years has been in process was especially felt by virtue of a surplus of wheat being thrown on a world-market with a declining price. an automobile generation has come into societal participation in rural life only recently, which is making for a greater intensity in social change. Farm population increased in 1930, and the urban-rural flow was greater in some sections than the rural-urban current. The social organization of rural life is rapidly shifting from a locality basis to special-interest groupings, and this characteristic is becoming increasingly marked.<p />
