FOREWORD S 



Goldsmith, of the Suffolk Farms Co.; Mr. Sam- 

 uel Milliken, and others for valuable aid and 

 suggestions. The footnotes give credit to other 

 sources of information. 



The reception accorded by press and public to 

 my book, Three Acres and Liberty, which Mac- 

 millan published a year ago, was a pleasing proof 

 of the interest already awakened in this matter. 

 Six editions of that book have been issued, and 

 indications are that others will follow. 



But no one volume could begin to exhaust 

 so fruitful a subject, and the readers of Three 

 Acres and Liberty will not find A Little Land 

 and a Living in any sense a repetition of its 

 predecessor. The reasons for its publication at 

 this time are numerous and cogent, many of 

 them being set forth in Mr. Borsodi's letter, 

 which follows this foreword. Others may wisely 

 be left to its readers to infer. 



Those who are facing the problem of rearing 

 a family on a weekly wage, with the purchasing 

 power of the dollar decreasing, will find much 

 in this book to encourage them to reach out for 

 a better, saner living, through cultivating the lit- 

 tle lands.
