Partial abandonment of locations has resulted in serious maladjustments in public services, and this in turn has tended to check the development of potential resources. It is very easy for a state, absorbed in the progress of the expanding and developing portions of its agriculture and the growing demands of its industry, to ignore and leave untouched the areas that fall behind. Some would avoid a description of the plight of stranded families and place all emphasis on the happier portions of the social order. But a state should face frankly the maladjustments in certain of its areas and seek to discover means of realignment of people, land, and institutions. An examination of the present land use indicated many areas in New Hampshire in which little or no commercial agriculture appears. (note the white areas in Fig Some of these areas were never cleared and settled, being for the most part mountainous and non agricultural. Other areas were at one time thickly populated and farmed, but have declined greatly in both population and agricultural activity since 1860.
