ii relates to surprise parties or unexpected

Great Britain, nearly ...............,..-lOo.O
II will surprise a great many people 20
know tina; there are mere tenants working
farms in this country than in France or
Norway or Sweden, and that In this re-
spect We are only slightly better or than
Germany. 1t will be an interesting study
70 ascertain the reason for this in a coun-
try where every man can be his own land
lord il he wishes. \ recent writer IN the
Quarterly Journal Of Economies has given
some thought TO the matter, and although
he assigns the abandonment Of the farm
To divers causes. the main reason seems to
be that farming mas not been profitable.
The growth OF tenancy has not resulted
from the foreclosure OF farm mortgages. az
many believe, although II may TO some ex-
tent be attributed TO that cause Ia the
states OF Illinois. Michigan. Minnesota and
New Jersey.
Farming. especially in the Eastern
states. has not been remunerative, and
there Is a reaction from the cultivation OF
large tracts and dividing up into small
farms. which are let out These tenants
are not people who have ever owned farm
property or ever viii. but are made up OF
those who would remain farm iaborers IL
they were not farm tenants. And one rea-
son why these tenants are selected is that
the younger generation will not remain
upon the farm TO take up the work the
elders lay down. Instead of parceling out
a large estate among sons who will con-
tinue its cultivation, IL Is necessary to
lease portions OF H. and the only people
who present themselves are those who
cannot buy and are willing to work only
as farm laborers or tenants.
This is probably the main reason why
the farms in the East show such a high
percentage OF tenants. y living can be
gained on them. but a living that Is hardly
a sufficient inducement 10 keep the boys at
home. They flock TO the cities. where not
only living. but possibly a fortune is TO
be gained The returns which by hard and
almost unceasing labor are to be wrung
from the soil are not so satisfying as those
offered in the cities, and the farm is
turned over to those who are less ambitious
and ara not seeking even It's ownership,
much less a fortune. These conditions are
likely to exist for some time. at least until
the cities become congested. the race for
wealth less intense and the country older,
with fewer opportunities for short cuts to
colossal fortunes. Then there may be a
drifting back 10 the farms. but 1t viii not
come FOR good many years.

The census reports show some rather
surprising figures n relation 70 tbe per-
csniage of farms Ia the country that are
worked by tenants. The United States has
been ard Il now a great land owner, and
for years a farm has been something
which was 10 b had practically for the
asking. with millions q broad acres IN
settled the poorest and hurnblest has been
able to become a land owner. And yet the
number Of people who work farms as ten
ants and TOT as owners Is very large, and
that number Is on the Increase.
Ia the South the farm tenancy runs very
high. bs!as nearly 90 per cent. This Is no
doubt owing 20 the freeing Of slaves who
have been unable to buy farms Of their
own. but are able 70 rent them for
share Of the crop. This high average OF
farm tenants IN the South makes the aver
age for the whole country very high, and
yet Il II not only In the South where farms
are let out. In New England tenants are
becoming more common, and the proper
ton OF tenants to owners is very nearly az
high there as It is ia France. The per-
