Population shift from farms to cities linked to rising living costs
Washington reports Census Bureau figures showing 159 towns with 25 000 to 100 000 residents grew from 5 249 681 in 1900 to 7 313 886 in 1910. Statisticians say urban migration reduces rural production, driving higher prices as farm outputs fail to meet demand.
