Atlanta, Ga Aug. 1.-THE South

here this afternoon for the purpose
of taking action on the proposed in
crease IN postage on certain publica-

when it became known that the First

RENTING OF FARMS.
State University Professor to Study
Tenure Of Farm Land in South
ern Wisconsin.

A study Of the cause of the rapid IL
crease Of farming on rented land and
of the best methods of renting farm
land is to be made during the present
summer under the direction Of the
University of Wisconsin by Professor
Fl. G. Taylor of the department of poll
teal economy. This investigation is
TO be undertaken because it has been
found that the number of tenant
farmers has increased so rapidly in re-
cent years that now more than one
fifth of the farmers of southern Wis
cOnsin are renters. 1t is important
that the investigation should be
undertaken by the state, for the reason
that there is no permanent landlord
class. Most of the landlords are re-
tired farmers who, by hard work and
careful saving, have managed to be-
come the owners of good farms from
which they have right to expect a
fair income in their old age. The ten
ant farmers, as a rule; are young men
who are just getting a start, but who,
if they have energy and opportunity,
will in many instances become the
owner of the farms. The importance
of proper adjustment of relations
between these two classes so that the
land may be we'll farmed to the bene-
fit of the owner, the tenant, and the
state, is evident.
