Abstract: Excerpt from the report: This study, made in 1939, was primarily concerned with measuring the success or lack of success of former migrants of agricultural background in relocating in a new environment. It undertook, therefore, to describe the characteristics of the newly settled population, to measure their economic progress in the new environment and their accommodation to the new social environment, to ascertain the extent, regularity, and source of their employment and income, to venture seen opinions regarding the capacity of the Yakima Valley, to absorb new settlers, and to appraise the probable future for those former migrants now settled in the area. It undertook these inquiries in the expectation that the resultant data might facilitate the direction of public action in assisting the settlers to secure the maximum adjustment possible within their new environment.
