Farms in Kenosha County MOI
Worked by Owners Rented for
Annual Cash Rentals
TENANTS GETTING SCARCE.
Prof. Henry c. Taylor of the University
of wisconsin Making Interesting
Investigation of Kenosha Conn
ty Farm Lands

Prof Henry G. Taylor of the school
of agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin has been in Kenosha coun-
ty making an investigation of rented
farms in the county and his figures,
which were given out by him this
morning will be of decided interest to
the people Interested in the farm
lands of the county. Prof. Taylor
found that Kenosha county had a
large number of rented farms. The
report will show that 80 percent of all
the farms in the county are rented
and that % percent Of the farms are
rented for cash rental. The aver
age rent received for the farms is
from So TO SIS a year per acre. It was
stated by the university man that the
rentals in this county are not nearly
SO large as those received in Rock,
Iowa and other Wisconsin counties.
II do not understand why this should
be-" said Prof Taylor. "The farm
land ia Kenosha is just as good as
that in Rock or Iowa counties, and it
has the advantage Of being closer to
the markets" In this county the
farms are rented largely for cash
while in Rock or Dane counties near
IL all of the farms are rented on the
shares. The tenants in Kenosha
county seem to prefer cash rent as it
gives them more freedom in handling
the lands. The owners would prefer
to rent the land on the shares but the
tenants refuse to take it that way.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the
tenants in Kenosha county is their
lack of capital. Most of them have
not sufficient capital to properly
stock the farms rented by them and
for this reason they are not able to
get the money out of the property.
The dairy interests are by far the
most remunerative for the tenants
of Kenosha county, but many of them
after they have paid their cash rent
have no funds left with which to pur-
chase stock. find, however, that
tenants are scarce in j Kenosha
county. Many Of them take farm
and work for FIVE or six years and get
money enough together to buy a
small farm. Many of them go to the
new agricultural regions of Canada
and Northern Wisconsin, where they
can secure land much cheaper. The
general class of tenants in this
county is good, and an investigation
shows only two cases of litigation be-
tween tenants and landlords. The
best tenants in the county are MAX
ing living and little money, but
they never get far enough ahead to
have sufficient capital to operate the
larger farms, and this forces them to
seek the cheaper land.
The number of rented farms in this
county is in proportion with other
counties in this section ofss the state.
In Racine county twenty-five per cent
of the farms are rented, while in
Rock county the per cent of rented
farms is thirty-hve, but only nine per
cent are rented for cash. !"
In speaking of the drought condi-
tions in this county, Prof. Taylor
stated that it was decidedly dry about
the county, but that several good
rains would aid materially.

Committee on Elections viii Meet

NATURE OF REPORT DOUBTFUL
Senator's Friends Think II VIII he

Contrary.
lsneclnl to the oNews.,,l

Washington, n. c.. April 2l.-The
meeting called Tor next Wednesday is
expected TO finally dispose Of the Smoot
case, so far AS the committee on priv
ileges and elections is concerned. Tho
outcome OF the vote is still problam-
atical. Senator Shoots friends are
confident that Chirman Burrows Will
be unable to muster a majority Of the
committee TO his support, while Senator
Dubois goes so far as to say that not
only will the committee stand for 4
report declaring the seat vacant, but
that In his judgment the senate win
support the contention that a majority
vote will deprive the senator of his
seat. Yet i'm spite OF the optimism Jf
the senator from Idaho 1t Is by no
means certain that even a bare major
ity OF the committee will vote to de.
clare the seat vacant. 1t seems TO be
practically certain that all the Republi-
cans except Burrows, and at least two
Democrats viii hold that the senate
can only cxpel, and that II Is not within
the power OF that body under the Con-
stitution To declare seat vacant eN-
cept by a constitutional two-thirds vote,
Under the circumstances II would APP
pear that the friends OF Senator smoot
have excellent groupds for the openly
expressed belief that the outcome Will
be the confirmation of his right 20 con-
time TO MI the seat to which he was
elected.

on his advice that the relief committee
made purchases Of lint and bandages to
