In this study of the problems of social organization in a ruralcommunity of Alberta, a droughtafflicted wheatgrowing area centring round the townof Hanna is described as it appeared to the sociologist in 1946.Dr Burnetexamines geographical and economic conditions in Hanna, and shows how farmingpractices, ways of living, and modes of tenure brought into the area from more humidregions proved ill adapted to the dry belt and delayed economic adjustment. In turn,the difficulties in the realm of economics had adverse social and culturalconsequences in both the households and the community as a whole.The Hannaarea was chosen for study, though not altogether typical, because it revealed moreclearly than other areas not so severely hit by the drought of the 1930s the kind ofdisturbances within the Alberta social structure which made possible the rise of theSocial Credit movement.
