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 ut near.
ly forty.two million bushels. exceeding
last seasons record by nearly nine and
one-half million bushels. Il 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 n farmer possess
Ing the necessary team and implement
arranges with the land owner TO crop
number OF seasons. The usual form
OF agreement provides that tho land
owner shall provide land. seed. two
thirds Of the manure. where manure IL
used. and bags for his share. The
farmer does the c~ultivating 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 wne 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 n of the most
satisfactory ways Of working large es.
tates. Share farming enables a settler
with little mony at his disposal to ac-
cumulate enough means to buy land
OF his own.

Too Fond OF Sport.
The Australian himself Is the su.
preme problem in the making of Aus.
tralia. The young Australian is fire.
quently coDceited. complacent, bump.
tious, qualities that come from his in.
sularity and his remoteness from other

TONS" And the liberal prime minister
Of the commonwealth. Joseph Cook,
remarked: THE pictures drawn OF
socialism would be beautiful II II were
not for the black blotches on them.
Against that kind of socialism tho
liberals are united" These express
sions Of opinion from persons Of wide
ly divergent political beliefs show the
existence Of sociallstic sentiment In
all parties In Australia. Between them
II is merely a question Of degree.
II is a curious paradox that the 30
called antf-socialists Of the liberal
party have enacted as much socialis-
tic legislation, laws directly opposed
to ~individuallsm, as the avowedly So
clallstic section Of the Labor party
when in control. Names do not
brighten the Australian. He Is rather
concerned as to results.
Individual Initiative laas.
And what are the results7 General.
ization Is dangerous. Certain results,
however. are apparent. The working
day OF long hours Ia passing away.
There In less work and more play in
Australia than In any other civilized
country. Private capital which finds
better returns elsewhere does not rush
TO the isIand-continent. Individual
Initiative is not so keen. The average
Australian leans against the wall or
the fence or the lamp post. In ma
terial affairs he leans on the govern.
ment. The chief end Of life to him
Is not business. but the chief end OF
business IL life. Governments are in
stituted among men. according 20 his
view. not to preserve order and per-
NIT individual effort. but 10 give high
rates OF wages and establish holidays.
There is much icealism in tho grow.
ing socialism OF Australia but more
materialism. II aims nj larger leisure
and greater pleasure.

ciaiism?" I asked n distinguished TO

but will tell you a story. An Eng
iishman. discussing Australia. told OF
n young Official In his business house
who was efficient and ambitious. This
official aspired to be the head OF the
firm n day and allowed no other
idea to engage his thoughts. II
CHANGED that he was sent 70 sydney.
Australia. to a position OF response.
bility for his firm. He returned after
five years. His outlook on life had
entirely changed. AS regards work
he was ms efficient. rs quick. as re.
liable. But his chief ideal now was to
enjoy life; tho headship Of the firm
took second place q that. lie had
acquired the Australian viewpoint"
The story illustrates tho Aus.
tralian's attitude toward work and
play-play first. And. under even
moderate socialism. the tendency
among Australians Is TO let the gov
eminent do all the work-wem 10
play. He seeks socialism In our time
with the hope and fond expectation
that II will relieve from the worry and
work OF managing his own affairs. The
