that has been increasing at an alarm
ing rate Tenantry means that The
lands rented are not as well cared for
as il they were owned by the men who
live on them. The best OF our young
men and women have been leaving the
farms for the cities and we hope to
divert the stream and send 1t back to

other countries who have undertaken
similar projects to fall back upon,

worked far beyond the experimental
stage. AS in the war we have the mis-
takes made by our allies already
pointed out to us and we will not make
them ourselves.
