the good OF distressed workmen and
wear a wig, as his father had done be-

When the petitioners walked to the
royal palace, however, it was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves.
As this seemed unfair to the onlook-
ers they seized several of the leading
processionists and cut their hair with
any implement that came most readily
TO hand.

ing solves this problem The tenant

all land and seed and the stock Is

elastic. Sometimes either of the par
ties may own all the live stock and

Partnership farms are likely to be
handled better than the others. Both
sides viii aim to keep up soil fertility
and be governed by progressive ideas.
In partnership the landlord has
voice in all matters which relate to
permanent betterment. general upaeep
and the type of farming that is to be
practiced. This system of renting is
best adapted to the young man with
small capital who is willing to work
under the supervision of landlord.

being convinced that under modern
conditions agriculture is one of the
best paying yocations. Many who wish
TO become farmers, including persons
without experience and hired nicn who
are capable of managing place, may
not have the capital TO buy land. Iii
such cases renting affords an oppor-
tnnity TO make Il successful start. Buy
ing outright is the better plan, how
ever, even If the start has TO be made
with place Of five or ten acres.
Either cash renting or the system of
sharing profits may prove satisfactory.
Investigation shows that fifty-eight
cash tenants in Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa made an annual labor income Of
,S93S, while 1913 share tenants made
only $685.. or s1G3 less than the cash
men, In the dry summer Of 1910 these
figures were just reversed. The dry
season compelled cash renters to stand
the burden of all the loss, while the
share tenant was helped out by his
landlord. That season twenty-seven
rash tenants received $3.50 against 1927
average income for tenants who were
sharing.
