The Question of Too Much Land.


There are lots of land owners in
every section OF the country who are
land poor They own and control more
land than they can work to advantage.
They hang on to 1t like grim death
until the Sheriff comes to their relief
or they are fortunate enough to find
some man who has a sum OF money
large enough to pay one-third down
and bank account good enough to
take the risk of getting the balance to-
gether in one or two years. There are
plenty of large farms throughout the
country which could be made to pay
for themselves within a few years If
divided up properly ard placed in the
hands of ambitious men who would
appreciate an opportunity to secure
aud pay for home OF their own.
Another benefit would accrue from
change OF this kind. The condition of
society would be much benefited. AS
a rule, either in city or country. tho
best communities are those In which
the people own their own homes. 1t
prevents that floating element from
predominarlng-people who have but
little interest in their surroundings,
as they are here one year and some
where else another. 1t is fact that
values are higher the moral tone bet
ter and the people more happy and
prosperous in communities where
there are small farms which are
owned by their occupants.-Stockma
and Farmer.
