by Henry J. Waters, president of the
Kansas State Agricultural COLLEGE,:

Kansas State Agricultural college:
Education must be the means of
uprooting the tenant evil on the
farm" President Waters says, mot in
colleges and universities alone, but in
the country schools. The children OF
the tenant farmer, as we'll as the chill
dren of the farmer owner, must be
taught the rudiments of intelligent,
modern farming while they are being
taught the rudiments of reading, writ
| ing and arithmetic. We cannot elm
mate the undesirable tenant farmer
Of today--we must try to head off new
generations of undesirable tenant
farmers. Let children begin to &C.
quire ideas of modern farm methods
when they begin their school life.
"Some children never reach the
high school stage, many never pass
it. Especially is this true of the chill
dren of tenant farmers, many OF
whom, in the nature of things as they
farmers in their turn. Teach those
children, as soon as they are able to
understand anything, that there is
something more to agriculture than
scratching the soil and waiting for the
Lord to send crop; arouse their in
terest in the possibilities of the farm
and they will seek more knowledge.
As Other Nations Have Solved 1t.
''Eradicating the tenant evil is not
a work of day. 1t is task of years.
But it can be done, and practical
training in the schools of the country
is the means with which to accomp-
ish it. Denmark few years ago was
tenant ridden to such a degree that
the government was compelled to
adopt means to save the country's ag-
ricultural interests. Sixty-five per cent
Of the population of Denmark was on
farms and great majority were ten
ants. Public funds were used to aid
thousands of those tenants in becom-
ing farm owners. The elements of
intelligent farming and domestic sci
ence were taught in the schools.
Nov Denmark has twenty-nine az
ricultural colleges and six thousand
agricultural students. Only one farm
out of ten is occupied by a tenant.
The county has population of 155
to the square mile, as compared with
our population OF thirty.seven to the
square mile. Yet the Danes produce
an annual surplus of agricultural
products of SO for every acre of land
under cultivation"
Ireland for many years was OBJ
pressed with the farm tenant curse,
because of the immense holdings of a
few landlords. The British govern
ment has gone to the tenants aid
there, too. During the last few years
in Ireland three hundred thousand
farms or more than one-third of the
agricultural land of the country, has
paooeu ilito lHe possession OF the ten
ant class.
Great Britain, Germany and other
European countries are wrestling to-
day with the tenant farmer problem
and its attendant evils. How the sys-
TEN retarded agricultural progress in
Great Britain is indicated by the fact
that one hundred years were required
to increase the average production of
wheat from fourteen bushels to thir-
ty-one bushels per acre.-kansas City
