FEWER AUDRA|N
FARMERS RENTING
THAN IN 1910

Some interesting figures as to the
numbers Of farms operated by man
ayers and tenants are inchaded in CEN
sus figures Just published, giving de-
tailed information for Audrain Coun-
ty.
The number of farms operated by.
managers increased about 54% in the
decade between 1910 and 1920 and the
total amount of land thus farmed at
the present time is in excess Of $4,000
acres. The value of the property is
given as $2,201,935.
That a change toward the manager
ial or owner-operated plan is taking
place is shown by the information
that the number of farms operated
by tenants has decreased from 844 to
754 in the last ten years.
Not only in Audrain has this change
taken place, but in the entire state as
shown by the fact that in ten years
the number of farms operated by ten
ants has decreased from 82,958 ,sto
75,727, indicating that people are pur-
chasing farms of their own instead of
renting.
