RIcARDo,s LAW OF RENT.

hlCARDO 5 LA W Sf KENT.
We commenced our Illustrations OF the
law OF rent by supposing new cUn,munity y
in progress of formation in the West where
each member had the option in the begin
ming of selecting n homestead from any
one OF four grades OF public land, yielding
respectively, to d given application OF
productive power. twenty-four, twenty
two, twenty, and eighteen bushels Of
wheat per acre. ''s
We supposed the settlers on their ar
rival to be equally well 1eudpped for
business; that those arriving first natur-
ally selected farms from the best grade
of land. and that those arriving later did
likewise, until all of this grade was ap-
propriated Then, to Illustrate the advan-
tages OF cooperative over individual ef-
fort, we supposed that each owner OF the
best grade of land could, by combining his
productive power with that Of another,
bring the product of his land up'to twenty
five bushels per acre without any greater
expenditure on his part than was neces-
sary to produce the twenty-four bushels
per acre when working alone
Since the owners of this grade OF land
would naturally agree to divide the produce
