The return from a piece of land is
not so much dependent upon the soil
as upon the kind Of management
which that piece of ground receives.
Many seemingly worthless piece OF
land has been made to produce
profit under skillful handling.

Much has been said in the papers
about petroleum butter" and the

produce and keep on producing food.

This is the only criterion by which
we can properly judge Of the right
of an individual to own land in large
tracts. The good results attendant
upon small individual holdings are
natural. The purposes of nature in
the upward evolution of man are usu

and not because. as is so frequently
argued. every man has an inherent
right TO its ownership. The lazy. the
