Farm Tenantry

p. G.. Holden, an expert on agriculture affairs
who is nationally known for his observation, in
an article in the Palladium Wednesday, pointed
out some Of the evils Of farm tenantry.
He asserted that it kills incentive and discour-
ages community development.
In 1900, according to government statistics
So per cent Of the farms in this district were op-
Grated by tenants and by 1910 the number had in
creased to 81 per cent. In some states he as
serts, it is as high as 60 or 70 per cent.
There is no reason why there should be op-
position to farm tenantry, because in the last
analysis both the tenant and owner of the land
have one thing in common-the greater produc-
ton of crops. Mr.. Holden finds fault with the
tenant who takes no interest in the land. He
looks upon this sort of tenant as man who des-
troys the fertility Of the soil.
tenant who exploits land and takes no
thought of the future fertility of the acres which
he is cultivating, is poor man to have on farm.
Mr.. Holden insists that the present system of
year to year lease is to blame as the tenant fig
ures that it is not to his interest to conserve soil
fertility. Inferentially, he argues for long term
leases so as to protect both the land owner and
the tenant. Many farm owners who reside in the
cities will agree with Mr.. Holden that this is the
only cure.
In many European countries, tenants not
only stay on one farm for years, but their lease
is handed down from father to son as heritage.
This sense of security which many European
tenants have, accounts for the care which they
bestow upon soil conditions. Under no circunl-
stances imaginable would they wear out the pro-
ductive power of the land, because it would re-
dound to their own disadvantage. 1t is easy to
see how long land tenure is of great advantage,
both to the tenant and to the land owner under
these conditions
Long farm leases are the exception in Amer
lea. The evils of tenantry are becoming so ap-
parent and the manifest unfairness Of the pres
ent system to owner and tenant are becoming so
obvious, that the tenant is seeking for longer
lease and the land owner is willing to grant it,
providing the tenant is farmer who looks upon
the soil with the same love and devotion that a
sculptor looks upon piece of marble.
Mr.. Holden suggests congressional or legis-
latve enactments to provide for long time leases
so as to increase the personal interest of the
farm tenant
