duction in the cotton acreage Of York
county this year.

yards of bog just without the corporate

The YorkviIe- Rock Hill road has
been impossible to automobiles 1or
some time past over Il distance OF ABOUT
one hundred yards just west OF the

roles OF the crook and his intended

the cameraman reveals in many
thrilling scores.

NUMBER OF FARMS IN THE
UNITED STATES, BY
TENURE.

Of the total number OF farms in the
United States on January l, 1920, as
shown by the Fourteenth Census &C.,
44s,366), 3,925.95 were operated by
their owners, 68,525 by hired mana
gers, and 2,454,746 by tenants. Of the
total number of farms, 60.9 per cent
were operated by their owners, IL
per cent by managers, and SO. l pei
cent by tenants In 1910, 62.1 per cent
of the farms were operated by own
ers, 0.9 per cent by managers, and
81 per cent by tenants. The distribu-
ton in 1900 was, owners, 63.T per
cent; managers, 10 per cent; and
tenants, 35.3 per cent; in 1890, own
ers and managers together, 7l.6 per
cent; and tenants, 1874 per cent; II
1880, owners and managers, IA per
cent; and tenants, 256 per cent. 1t Is
evident, therefore, that there has
been a gradual decrease in the propo.
ton of farms operated by their own.
ers and a corresponding increase in
the proportion operated by tenants.
Farms Operated by Their Owners.
The number of farms operated by
their owners in 1910 was 3,94S, 722.
The 1920 figures given above thus
show decrease in this class of farms
during the decade amounting OF 3d.
627, or 0.6 per cent.
In the census reports distinction
is made between farmers operating
their own land only and farmers who
hire some land in addition to that
which they own. The former are clas-
sified as full owners" and the lat
ter as part owners" The number of
farms operated by full owners in 1925
was 1866, 546 and the number operat-
ed by part owners, 55S, $40. In 1910
1854 ,S97 farms were reported as
operated by full owners and 593.S25
by part owners. There was therefore
an increase of 11,G49, or 0.3 per cent
in the number of farms operated By
full owners, and a decrease of 1926,
or So per cent. in the number operat-
CO by part owners.
The states in which so per cent or
more of the farms were operated by
their owners in 1920 include Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts. Con
necticut, Nevada. Utah. Montana, Yer
mont, New Mexico, Wyoming, Wis.
consin, Rhode Island, Idaho, West
