INTENSIVE FARMING IN HOLLAND

Dutch farmers are now renters, the
proportion of renters to owners in
the whole country being given as 81
and 43 per cent, respectively. The pro
portion in this district, however, var
les greatly in different provinces. For
instance, in Gropingen rs per cent of
the soil is farmed by its owners,
whereas in Friesland 6S per cent is
titled by renters. These variations re.
suit from historical circumstances or
character OF the soil The percentage
of renters has increased for several
years The explanation given is that
intensive farming requires more work
ing capital than the old methods, and
that the owner, averse to risking this
prefers to take the high rent assur
ed him by letting his land. This condi
ton has led to increased attention on
the part of the government to insure
success to the renter.
Imports and Exports Of Farm Products
Notwithstanding its dense populs
ton, this part of the Netherlands pro
duces much more than 1t consumes Of
many kinds Of farm products. To
create and maintain an export trade
in the surplus, by meeting the require
ments of other countries, the govern
ment pure-food regulations are grow
ing constantly more strict. This is not
ably the case regarding the inspection
and sanitary condition of cows from
which butter and cheese originate,
and the marking and stamping of but
ter and cheese The latest rules in
this respect are so stringent as to
meet all conceivable requirements Of
foreign countries and to make It prac
tically impossible for a pound of de.
fective butter or cheese to be export
ed.
While the export of vegetables and
dairy products is very great, the i'm
port is negligible quantity, consist
ing of certain exceptional kinds only
Comparatively little foreign meat is
consumed here; the home supply gen
orally suffices. Flour and wheat ne.
cessarily form large import item,
but on the whole the exports Of food
products are very little, II any. below

Dairy Farming.
A feature Of the intensive agricul

The increase OF vegetable products is
another result of intensive farming.

without scientific fertilizing, would be

still practicable mainly in clay-soil
districts, but even there the cultiva.

Cattle abound especially in the rich
lowlands OF Friesland, Utrecht, and
north and south Holland, where they
are pastured the greater part Of the
year. The total number of cattle in
the kingdom is estimated at nearly
1000, 900, more than half of which are

hibitiOn Lines
Salt Lake city,utah, Jan. 10Th.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 18TH
1t has been known for some time
that j. A. Hendrickson of Logan has
been giving much attention to the
question of the prohibition or rather
regulation of the sale of liquor. Today
in the house at the request of Mr..
Hendrickson, Representative Funk OF
Cache introduced the bill which is
the result of Mr.. Hendrickson's la.
bors. The bill provides for prohibition
outside cities and towns except for
wine growers who are allowed to sell
their product under certain restric-
tons. In cities and towns 1t provides
for elections by petition to the gov
erning body Of one-third of the regis
tered voters whether 'dispensaries, dis.
tilleries or saloons" shall be allowed.
II majority of votes are cast
against distilleries 1t shall be unlaw-
full to manufacture liquor; IL against
saloons no licenses shall be granted
and if against dispensaries such shall
not be established.
The clanses relating to establish
nent of dispensaries, which are the
peculiar feature Of Mr.. Hendrickson' s
bill, provide that when dispensaries
have been adopted by any city or town,
three commissioners shall be appoint
ed by the governing body Of the town
from among the voters who voted for
the dispensary who shall conduct the
dispensary. Dispensaries NAV not sell
liquor on Sundays or election days or
before s a. m. on any day but the
closing hour is omitted. The prices
shall be fixed by the dispensary board
and adulteration Is made a misdemea-
nor. Loafing or lettering about such
a place is forbidden and penalties are
provided.
The dspensary commissioners shall
pay to the city or town half of the
profits and half to the county in which
the city or town is located. The coun-
ty shall pay its portion out for county
highways extending out from the city
or town from which the profits are
received.
