Planning Board analyzes Virginia rural population shift
The State Planning Board says 1935 Virginia rural growth mainly reflects natural farm-area expansion rather than farm exit. Of the increased rural dwellers, 37 percent worked outside farming, with many in industry or services. The board notes county losses and studies 1920 1930 1935 census data to map farm population changes and policy implications.
