Young pigs should be given their feed in such manner that each il dividual pig gets its share. The sim plest way to accomplish this k to allow the pigs to eat from properly con structed feed trough, one that will keep the pigs out of the feed and will lessen the possibility of crowding.

FARM TENANCY IN
SOUTH CAROLINA
Weekly NeWS).

University Weekly News).
Sixty-three per cent. Of all of the
farms in South Carolina are operated
ay tenants. In 1910 there were 1885,
4s4 farms in this State, and of these
only 65,213 were operated by owners
and managers.
Only two states in the nation have
u greater percentage Of tenancy than
this state. These are Mississippi with
s6.1 per cent of all her farms oper-
ated by tenants, and Georgia with
65.S per cent.
The general average Of tenancy in
the East North Central States, in
Guiding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin was 27 per cent.
The highest groups are the West
South Central States with 52.S per
cent tenancy, the East South Central
with 50.7 per cent, and the South At
lantic with 45.9 per cent. These three
consist largely Of the cotton growing

States.


While the term tenant" according
to the Thirtieth Census Interpretation,
includes both share-croppers and rem
ters, the situation is not materially
modified by this qualification. The
essential point is that the greater per-
centage of the farms in South Car
olina are operated by others than the
owners themselves.
Moreover, the tendency in this di-
rection seems to be on the increase
in 1880 the percentage Of tenancy IN
South Carolina was sos; III 1890, 1t
was 55.3; and in 1900 the figure was
Gil. There has been accompanying
this a progressive decrease in the
size of farms from SAL acres III
1850 to 76.6 acres in 1910 The num-
Der of tenant farmers in 1880 was
47,21e: while in 1910, it was 111,221.

cent respectively. The accompanying
table ranks the counties in the state
with the exception of those formed
since 1910.
This situation assumes unusual i'm
portance when we consider it's rela-
ton to the existing boil weevil stu
alton. It is the tenant farmer who
will find the matter OF adjustment
most difficult. He has never leaned
toward the system Of safe farming
which makes him provide his food
and feed supplies at home; and it is
going to be hard to instil into him
as quickly as is necessary new methods
of farming which must be learned to
accommodate an enforced change
from the present system Of agricul-
ture.
The opportunities of landowners,
merchants, bankers, and business men
to aid in this program Of education
for readjustment constitutes re-
sponsibility; for it is the tenant far
mer as a rule, who is most inacces-
sible to the ordinary methods OF

propaganda. He must be reached by
the direct contact of those who are
accustomed to advise him in his busi-
ness affairs.
Also, it is generally conceded that
ownership is a better type Of farm
ing than tenancy. Denmark, Ire
land. England, and more recently the
new republic Of Czecho-Slovakia have
inaugurated national policies to en-
courage ownership. An increasing
