Excerpt from Bibliography on Land Settlement: With Particular Reference to Small Holdings and Subsistence Homesteads In this bibliography an attempt has been made to collect references to agricultural land settlement in the United States, and in foreign countries which are likely to be useful to those interested in the litera ture of subsistence homesteads, small holdings, and land settlement. As relief for unemployment. Many references to publications on the general subject Of land settlement have been included, but in selecting the references the emphasis has been placed chiefly on schemes leading to the eventual ownership of a small farm or holding which will pro vide either partial or complete employment for the owner. The schemes and the nomenclature vary in the different countries, but the idea Of a home where one's food may be grown is emphasized rather than the idea of the colonization Of one country by another.
