LAND HOLDERS IN
 ENGLAND UNEASY
Sales of Large Estates May Compel Many Tenants 10
 Quit Their Farms

LONDON. April 15.-Lord Caring lon, nSnister of agriculture in a speech at York, Las discussed the recent breaking up of estates. There sas at present. he said. wide spread feeling of uneasiness and in security among farmers. partly in consequence of the administration Of tho small holdings act and partly as result of the number of cases in which large estates were being of tered for sale by their owners There was a boom" in land; land was selling extraordinarily well all over ;he country and landowners were taking advantage of this boom" and were putting their estates into the market in different parts of the country.
 But how was it done? Suddenly the whole or part of an estate was put into the market to pay off morg- gages or for sozl.e S+har reason. What h.SneneSl Every tenant far ner and every cottager on the estate was at once given notice to quit. That seemed to him to open up an entirely new state of affairs.
 It was quite natural that the feel ing of security which had hitherto existed on most large estate should be undermined and that tenant far mers were haunted with the dread Of being turned out of the homes thai they and their fathers had occupie:: for generations, Iu order to grapple with that great difficulty ana vita The approval of the prime minister he had decided to appoint a small departmental conimittee-practice men. landlords. tenant farmers and agents-to inquire into the position Of tenant farmers in England and Wales on the occasion of a change In the ownership Of their holdings. whether by reason of the death O: the landlord, the sale of the land or otherwise and to consider and report whether any legislation on the sub ject was desirable He had been able to secure Lord Hay eTsham as chair pan.
