Abstract

This is an interestingly written account of the United States Government's attempt to rehabilitate families who were stranded during the depression. Rehabilitation was to be accomplished through the establishment of an irrigated cooperative farm located near Casa Grande, Arizona. Since there were never more than 57 families involved as members (during the last and prosperous years membership dropped to 36), the study furnishes case material for those interested in bureaucracy and small group theory and action. The author attempts to use C. H. Cooley's "life study method" to describe what happened in such a way as to give insight into why it happened.
