SHARE FARMING IN AUSTRALIA
Plan That Seems Worth Copying 10
Especially Successful With Big
Wheat Crops.

In view Of the fact that the estimate
OF the present seasons wheat crop Of
New South Wales is set down at near
" forty-two million bushels, exceeding
last seasons record by nearly nine and
one-half million bushels, 1t is proof Of
the value Of the share farming that a
considerable number of the wheat
farms of New South Wales. and par
ticularly the large ones. are worked
on what is known In Australia as the
shares" system.
Under this system q farmer possess
ing the necessary team and implement
arranges with the land owner to crop
q certain area for q season or for
number of seasons. The usual form
of agreement provides that the land
owner shall provide land. seed. two
thirds of the manure, where manure is
used, and bags for his share. The
farmer does the cultivating and har
vesting. using his own plant; provides
one:third of the manure, and bags for
his share.
Up to a specified yield of the crop
the owner and farmer take equal
shares; any excess becomes the prop
erty of the farmer as a bonus to en-
courage good and thorough farming.
This method of working large areas is
invariably a success where the ar
rangement is drawn up on a truly CO
operative basis. and is one of the most
satisfactory ways of working large es-
tates. Share farming enables a settler
with little mony at his disposal to &C.
cumulate enough means to buy land
Of his own.

tiOnalfZatiOn of railways there Is con-
siderable dispute, though the oppo
nents of naturalization are apparently
in a small minority. There are sug.
gestions that private capital be en-.
couraged by grants of land or other
bonuses to build lines Of railway In
the vast interior of Australia where
the states have as yet been unwilling
or unable to do SO. Another sugges-
ton is made that the state owned
railways be, as in India. leased. under
suitable restrictions, for operation to
private companies. But neither sug-
gestion has any considerable political
support The railway service is crude.
its finances are muddled and 1t has
followed in the development of the
country, rather than, as in the United
States, preceded and brought about
this development. The back blocks
have not as many votes as the su.
burbs of Sydney, Brisbane and Mel
bourne or the city wards. An ap-
parent improvement Is noticeable IN
the railway service and the general
management shows betterment. The
politician, through the pressure of an
enlightened public opinion, Is coming.
though slowly. to regard the railway
systems as non-political enterprises.
The evils of the system have been
largely due to dollhouse politics.
Socialism Partially In Force.
Socialists and Anti-Socialists In
Australia" said w. M. Hughes, labor
member Of parliament and former at
torney general. have the most ex.
traordinary ideas Of what socialism
really Is. It Is not something to be
brought about by act of parliament
or by vote. It Is a growth just as
boy grows into q man. Socialism will
come in Australia but by slow growth.
Complete collectivism, when we get
that far, will appear the most ordinary,
natural and inevitable thing in the
world for those who live under 1t.
Many will think 1t a perfect system
and others will object to It, but by all
1t will be regarded as perfectly
natural. Socialism. which, as l under
stand It, means the substitution OF
cooperation for competition. will re-
place individualism gradually but
surely because 1t is the flttest to sur
vive. The belief that socialism can
be achieved by any coup. violent or
peaceful, can only be entertained by
