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 literature 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 provide either partial or complete employment for the owner.

This publication is a revision of the third in a series called Market Diseases of Fruits and Vegetables. The series is designed to aid in recognition and identification of pathological conditions of economic importance affecting fruits and vegetables in the channels of marketing, in order to facilitate the market inspection of these food products and to prevent losses from such conditions.
