There is fixed rule Most of the farmers pay
certain proportion OF their produce rent. Others
pay partly in produce and partly in money A. few
pay altogether In money. The value OF the land
Itself may put generally from $3.50 TO $500

paying in money would probably contract to turn

provinces have the lesser degrees of savings. The
whole aspect of this condition lends weight to the
argument that the population. agricultural with a
