INCREASE
Of Tenant Farmers In The
United States

Chicago. Nov. 27-That there are
2,50O,OOO tenant farmers in the %
states which produce most of the per.
ishable products, the grain and the
cotton of America, is the statement
of Charles Homan, secretary of the
national conference on marketing and
farm credits. When the conference
on rural credits meets here on Mon
day, one of the important questions
that will come up is how to check
this unwhOlesome tendency towards
a more complete domination by alb
sentee landlords.
What to do for our landless farm
ers has become a most perplexing
national problem, says Mr.. Holman.
Everybody seems agreed that they
should be turned into home owners.
Everybody seems agreed, also that
absentee landlordisr, and it's attend
ant evils should be purged from
American life. The nation must fix
upon some policy.
Land ownership has rapidly moved
toward concentration, according to
Secretary Holman, and absentee
landlordism has sprung up. A rest
less, floating landless class is wan
dering over vast areas of farming
country, shifting their homes from
year to year.
According to Mr.. Holman's survey
of the field, in the last ten years in
both Texas and Oklahoma the per-
centage of increase in tenant farmers
over the increase in land owning
farmers has been two to one. The
same ratio obtains in other states,
such as Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, New
York and Ohio. The last federal
census shows that the percentage OF
tenant farmers had increased from
25.6 in 1880 to 81 per cent.
How to make 1t possible for the
renter to acquire and pay out the
farms of the country must surely be
come matter for consideration o.
public men, writes Secretary Holman
How immediate is the need of legis
lation the tenant farmers know. The
shifting tenant is a great menace tt
the formation of a successful market
ing society. The cards of fate are
also stacked against his becoming {
home owner, under present arrange
ments for short time purchase at higl
interest rates. Yet the tendenc!
continues toward more complet
domination by absentee landlords.

 The sleeping apartments, while a little crowded. were clean and we'll ventilated. There is a separate cot tage for those affected with .tuber- culosis. There were gardens. brush patches and plenty of flowers. sows, chickens and a few horses on the farm.
 The only complaint made to me that seemed to have any weight was from Mrs. Miller. sent from Nome six years ago and now about to be released. She said she was acting as spokesman for the others.
 The complaint was regarding Can anahan. a native woman from Dave Lewis's who was sent out from here last year, known officially as Matil- da This woman has always been crazy. and when at home at Lewis Landing was practically @ slave among her Indian relatives. For a number of years it had been the GUS tom to set her cutting cordwood for steamboats and to other light work during her odd moments Owing to this exercise she developed a mans strength, according to Mrs. Miller, and now she uses 1t to thrash her fellow patients for pastime. In this there may be grounds for just com plaint. inasmuch as a woman of such tendencies should not be confined in the same apartment with other pa tients.
