It is the purpose of this report to present the reasons for family case closings, reopenings, and new openings as these appeared in the county relief load of the Missouri Relief Administration during the months of October, November, and December 1935. It is prepared as a supplement to Report no. 1 on "Current changes in the rural relief population in Misosuri", which was previously compiled by the Missouri Rural Research staff and published in February, 1936. The inquiry extended to the following twelve counties: Adair, Douglas, Franklin, Hickory, Holt, Johnson, Miller, Newton, Pemiscot, Ralls, Ray, and Shannon (this sample was arrived at by controlled random selection, based on factors as soil type, type of farming, tenantry, farm income, type of non-agricultural industry, rural population, and the intensity of relief).
