The data for this study were obtained from 357 farm families of Minnesota taken at random in groups of fifty from seven representative areas. The migration of females to the city in the third generation is distinctly higher than that of males. This study appears to show that migrants from the farm do not mount rapidly to the upper economic and social classes, I0.I per cent of the migrants being in professions, including nursing, and 2.6 per cent in business as owners. The migration tends to be toward the larger cities, and the great majority travel only a short distance. Urbanization may be expected to increase in rate, with many serious problems, notably that of the sopport of the rural schools
