Saint Paul, MN: The Farmer's Wife / Webb Publishing, 1931.

Softcover 8vo, 32pp. In Good condition only with soil/discoloration and wear to wraps. Sparsely illustrated with silhouettes, the booklet provides guidance on formalizing community organizations by establishing committees and bylaws, suggests books on rural sociology... and provides fun suggestions for family games and special events.

"The lack of organization has been repeatedly pointed out as the fundamental weakness of rural life. Lacking complete organization, farm people must always work at a disadvantage compared to the other organized classes of our society so far as both economic and social welfare is concerned... 
The only purpose of this booklet is to illustrate the methods by which interested communities can utilize the possibilities of collective action in improving the social and economic welfare of the average farm neighborhood. Its pages merely furnish guidance for those who want to explore the possibilities of simple community organization that can render such vast returns in enjoyment and practical benefit.
