Lockeretz and the FSA




    Sanetters --

    For a fascinating and detailed account of the red-baiting of FSA,
    Rexford Tugwell and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics that set rural
    social sciences back 40 years (and set Everett Dirksen, who carried
    plenty of water for the Farm Bureau during this sordid affair, on his
    course to political leadership), check out:

    Richard S. Kirkendall,
    Social Science and Farm Politics in the Age of Roosevelt

    It's a genuine page-turner.
