A NEW METHOD OF RENTING

A serious objection of cash rent is
that in years frcpoHRDLFWWWW
that in years of crop failure, more is
demanded of the tenant than the land
will produce. There is also tendency
to increase the rent as the land be-
comes more productive.
An objection to grain rent is that
many things that make for better
farming are prohibitive, Suppose it
costs the tenant fifty cents per load
to haul manure and the increase in
yield amounts to seventy-fve cents.
If the landlord takes only one-third,
the tenant breaks even. If the land
lord gets any larger share, the ten
ant actually loses money on every
load of manure he puts on his field.
Some methods of renting ought to
be found that would not have these OBJ
jections. If we have a farm that is
renting for one-third grain rent and
the land yields sixty bushels of corn
with ordinary care and in average
seasons, if the landlord will agree to
take only one-third of the total crop
up to 60 bushels, the tenant could af-
ford to haul manure and do many
other things that would increase the
yield.
Under our present system of rent
ing extensive rather than intensive
farming is encouraged. The same
work that will grow 100 bushels on
the land above referred to might, il
put on two acres produce 100 bushels
If the landlord gets one-third of ev-
cry bushel produced, the tenant will
be better off if he plants the larger
acreage. II the landlord got only one
third of certain amount, the ten
ant could make more to put the same
labor on fewer acres.

amendment providing for a single

HELD FOR HOUSEKEEPING
BECAUSE OF FINGER PRINT
Ernest Palback Committed Solely on
Strength Of Mark Left on a
Piece Of Glass.

The finger print of the right index
finger of Ernest Palback was held by
Judge Mullowny in the Police Court
today to be sufficient evidence to hold
him for the action of the grand jury on
a charge of housebreaking.
The reason the finger print was held
by the court as evidence was because
it was testified by hnger-print experts
that it corresponded with a finger print
found on a piece of glass from a win
dow of the store of Harry Ley which
was broken into Saturday night.
Mr.. Ley told the court his place has
been robbed on a number of occasions
and that when he discovered the rob-
berry Sunday he notified the police. De-
tective Patrick O'Brien made an in
vestigation and discovered a finger
print On a piece of glass broken from
the window. The defendant was later
arrested on suspicion and after his
