Devotion Hall,
Bury st. Edmunds,
July 20 1910.

Bury st. Edmunds,
July 20 1910.
Dear friends OF Berea:
For a month We have been at
Devotion Hall, farm four miles fron
town-a sleepy little town, where Mr..
Pickwick had sad experiences.
We often drive to town and enjoy
exceedingly the view Of rolling farn
land with clumps OF trees. fields sep
arated by hedge rows and all of the
greenest green, such as we rarely see
in America.
Half way ous from the town is a
little village with stone church, aai
a dozen cottages with matched roofs.
This village is owned by the Marquis
and the villagers work on his estate.
The Marquis owns the farms for
miles around. and, once year. he
and his family come to the great
house TO live during the shooting sea
son. This house is surrounded by a
park fourteen miles in circumference.
The wife of the Marquis is an Ameri-
can lady. the people tell me. They
say she has brought money to the
estate, SO that the village and the
farms are kept up much better than
formerly. In spite of her wealth, she
is not proud, but keeps on exhibition
the shovel her father used when work.
ing on the railroad, before he became
a contractor and rich man.
The Marquis rents out the farms on
his estate to men of executive abili-
~ and means, who are able to furnish
stock and implements and to make
the first payment of rent. Each farm
is furnished with large comfortable
house, the house OF the farmer, cot
tages for day laborers, barns and
outbuildings. The Marquis keeps up
all repairs and pays taxes; the far
mer pays a rent Of about three dol
lars an acre. Twice a year, ON a set
day, the farmers take the rent money
to town, and pay 1t to the business
manager of the estate. Then they go
to the hotel and are guests of the
Marquis at dinner. Some of these
farmers show great business ability.
One, near by, rents four thousand
acres of land and is counted very
rich. Americans find it difficult to
think of q rich farmer who doesn't
own any land; but there are many
such here who live in commodious, wei
furnished houses, drive out In good
style, dress their families well, edu-
cate their children and have a bank
account.
The farm laborer seems to carry
the heavy end. He works for three
dollars a week. How he supports a
family on that amount is mystery,
but his children look well and clean
as they pass by to school, and the
family is decent at church. Most
of their cottage homes are really
beautiful, neat and cosy, with flowers
for their chef ornament. Often vege-
tables are cultivated in their front
yards, but there is always a border
of flowers.
The farmer with whom we live,
pays a rental of twelve hundred dol
lars on four hundred acres OF land. lie

Nov. 8, 1910, provides for doubling

Legislature. With as much good
timber as turns up every two years
just before the primaries it would

to double his own taxes on this
item by voting for the change of the
TIE constitution, especially when the
state taxes levied on Pierce county
have increased from $9,737.58 in
1906 to $33,652.83 in I9o9-which
is certainly progressing some.
