Both of these census years revealed that our population was shifting from an agrarian base to a manufacturing and service base. The shift revealed that our population was changing from a rural population to a urban population. The changes promoted, and at the same time, required that agriculture must increase in productivity per man-hour of labor because there were fewer people left in the rural areas to provide the ever increasing population with food and fiber to sustain life.
