Lands and Small Farmers in War Era Nebraska
Correspondence from Nebraska county seats notes auction sales of real property as younger farmers go to war and larger landowners reduce labor needs.

It cites Bolshevik and international land trends, government wartime land commandeering, and calls for fair regulation and public oversight to ensure productive farms and national patriotism.
