 The members being prepared for a reduction of at least s1.500 were taken by surprise for a raise of nearly two thousand, and some things were said that would lead one to believe the school board will have to shift that two thousand to the minus side of the ap- porpriation instead of the plus.

the landlord and tenant question.
/ say keep after the landlord till
they furnish hog pastures and
houses. / have neither hog
house, pasture nor tool shed. ]
came from the east where they
rotate crops and / have farmed
here one year, kept down the
weeds, raised a good crop and
put brush and straw in all the
washes. The landlord told others
that / am the best renter he ever
had but he raised the rent $50
and will not improve the place
though he is one of the incest
men ] ever met. / think this is
q fair example of all large land
owners. III. C. Birmingham, Pa
ola, Kan.
The present system of renting
farm land on year leases is
simply financial suicide. 1t is
not fair to either landlord or ten
ant. The landlord suffers by
having his place skinned each
year while the tenant does not
get a fair return for his labOrs
because of this handicap. Two
things stand in the way of a bet
terment of this condition and
they are both within the power
of the landlord to correct. In
the first place most of the land
that is now rented, is for sale
and the landlord will not make a
long term lease for fear it will
interfere with possible sale. In
the second place, the short term
lease compels the tenant to get
the most he can out of the place
during his lease with no regard
to the upkeep of the property.
He cannot afford to distribute
manure on the fields as he would
get no benefit from it. He can
not afford to plant anything but
annual crops, no orchards, no
shrubs, no alfalfa, no grass, for
the same reason. And yet these
things would not only serve to
make the farm more readily sale
able but would be for its future
good. The landlord would make
more money each year, secure a
better class of tenants and have
his land more valuable in the
end if he would adopt the long
term lease and cooperate with

must educate themselves. d.
not mean that they must study
classics or any particular collegC
course, but they must learn t.
know their lands. Agriculture,
college professors can help them
but there are a lot of things in
my humble judgement that the
college professors themselves
don't know and which can only
be found by careful and patient
experiment.
There ought to be experiment
farms not only in every county
but in every township in the
state. / do not mean by that
that there needs to be 100 acres
in every township under the con-
troll of a salaried professor. OF
course that would be utterly i'm
practical and the education must
be along practical lines. There
could be however an acre or two
on every farm for that matter
devoted to experiment. The
work generally could be directed
from the Agricultural college
but each farmer who worked his
little experimental tract ought
to become a sort of professor of
agriculture himself.
The experiments would prove
that some theories about farm
ing in certain localities are fail
ures but in the long run the far
mer would learn how to use his
land to the best advantage; how
to keep it from running down;
what crops will pay best in GER
tain kinds of soil and under GER
tain climatic conditions. In
short, farming would become in
time an exact science instead of
a haphazard business as it is at
present.
/ think that the farmer would
find after awhile that he can
make more money and make it
easier from 40 acres farmed as it
ought to be farmed than the av-
erage farmer makes now from
100 acres.
/ think this is a great and in
tensely practical question. Il
have a dream of a time when
the country will be filled with
prosperous farmers, owning their
own lands, farming small tracts
and farming them scientifically,
every acre produce its
iull capacity and at the same
line retain its fertility. Such |
condition will mean a happy,
prosperous, contented and re-
intelligent rural popu-
alton.
The objection may be raised
o this that there will be an
reproduction of farm products
nd that as a result the price of
arm products will fall below the
rofit level. l do not think so.
here can be no. such thing as

The Renter Question

nave TcCclVcu BOOo many lCC
tiers from land owners who rem
their lands. The writer's claim
and I know that it is true, tina
the ordinary farm rent pays bu
a small per cent on the invest
ment in the farm.
l am of the opinion that thu
owner who rents the farm fol
either cash or grain rent does
not get on the average more thar
4 per cent net on what his farm
would sell for. At the same
time, in most cases the renter
does not get ahead. There are
exceptions to both rules. / know
of a few cases where both the
land owner and the renter have
made good money. In such cases
the renter generally becomes a
land owner himself.
Without laying any particular
blame on either land owner OF
renter there is not much doubt
that the rental system is a waste
full and a bad thing for the coun'
try, for the whole country has
an interest in the manner in
which the lands are titled.
In the last few years we have
heard a great deal about conser-
walton of resources. Conserva-
ton congresses have met and
talked and passed resolutions
favoring the preservation for the
whole people of such natural re-
sources as timber, coal, and
water powers of the country. ]
am strongly in favor of the gen.
eral purpose of this conservation
movement but after all the most
tremendous waste in natural re-
sources in this country has been
and still is on the farm.
The native fertility of the
lands of the country has been in
many cases nearly or quite exc
hausted. Thousands of farms
in New England have been aban-
doned and in the middle states
the crops are decreasing. Too
many farmers have pursued the
policy of taking everything off
the farm they could and putting
nothing back, and any man who
has been raised on a farm knows
from experience what that means
in the end. constantly decreasing
crops until finally the farmer
cannot gather enough from his
fields to pay for the labor.
Generally speaking, it is not
very hard to pick out the rented
louse in town or the rented farm
n the country. This is natural.
The renter does not have the
interest in keeping up
he place that he would have if
belonged to him. Necessity
ompels him to get enough out
f it somehow to pay his rent
nd then make as much as possi-
lie for himself.
A neglected farm is not only a
COR investment for either the
wner or the renter but it is also
damage to the community in
vhich it is located. Noxious
reeds are allowed to grow and
led on it and the seed is scat
red over the adjoining farms
, the winds and the birds. The
God farmer suffers on account,
+ the neglect of his neighbOr
I'D the rent system tends to me-
lect and waste.
II seems to me then that two (
,jects ought to be kept in view {
the policy to be adopted by +
Ie states and nation. One is to {
scourage large holdings of I

Iurage small holdings on the 4
