 Culture of a Contemporary Rural Community: Harmony, GeorgiaWaller Wynne No 316026, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Abstract: Excerpts from the report Foreword: This report is the sixth in a series of American rural life studies undertaken in 1939 by six field investigators. Each study was sufficiently independent of the other five to make separate treatment and publication desirable. The reader, however, will gain full understanding of the findings only when he has read the six reports as a group. Harmony Community, to a greater degree than any other studied in this series, presents a strong bi-racial adjustment. It is, in truth, two communities, having little in common except the understanding that keeps them apart and their economic interdependence. In both communities changes that were impelled originally by the onslaughts of the boll weevil are being hurried on by the pressures and pulls of an encroaching urban and industrial society. As the economy shifts from cotton to cream, the work habits, social relationships, and community structure assume different patterns.
