NOVEL AND SATISFACTORY PLAN
BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT

In determining the net income 5 per
cent interest on the valuation of the
property is first taken out, as due
return for capital, after which all ex-
penses are deducted, such as for
thrashing, the managers wage, extra
labor, machinery repairs, depreciation
and the cost of fertilizers and seeds
Each of the two managed farms
has a house for the manager, who
also can use the work horses to drive
for personal use, has a garden, and a
COW or two for supplying the family
with milk and butter. Fifty chickens
are furnished, and the family is per-
mitted to raise as many as possible to
supply the needs of the farm table,
but on December 1, all the chickens
above the original number must be
sold, and the landlord gets one half
the receipts. The purpose of this limit
on chickens is to enable the manager
to have his own poultry supply with
out taking undue advantage of his op-
portunity.
In order to calculate the amount of
money which the manager is to re-
ceive on this plan it is necessary to
do a certain amount of bookkeeping
This is left to the owner, who keeps
a set of farm accounts, and on March
1, complete inventory is taken and
a yearly summary of the farm bust
ness is completed. In case of disease,
poor crops, or a partial failure which
is unavoidable, thus cutting down the
income of the manager, the owner
makes some allowance and gives the
manager, in addition to the wages he
has received, what he thinks is due
him for the work he has done, and
the responsibility he has assumed.
In the period before war imitation
the managers made from Sal to $40
per month the year round, in addition
to having their rent, garden, milk,
butter, and eggs. The manager of the
smaller farm, comprising SO acres,
received $35 month straight wages
for four years up to 1918 and his bon
us averaged $16S a year. The man
ager of the other farm, comprising
100 acres, formerly received $50 per
month and was increased to $35 and
his yearly bonus has averaged $276.
When the fact is taken into consid-
Grafton that the managers employed
unuCi tliiS SyStciil dIC pioNiucu Win
houses in which to live and are given
the privilege of raising their home
supplies of vegetables, milk poultry,
and eggs, it will be seen that their
necessary expenses are inconsiderable
and it must be conceded that they
are well paid for their services, in
view of the fact that they have no
investment risk. The length of time
which the men remain on the farms
shows that this method of employ
ment must have been satisfactory
both to employee and landlord in
these cases. 1t should be pointed out,
however, that the tenant should have
absolute confidence in his landlord
before he would be justified in work
ing under this system.

Illinois Farm Owner Gives
Tenants a Share in the Pro-
fits in Addition to Stated
Salary.

II took the same interest in my
work as a tenant as | take on my own
farm began work without dollar
and with very little knowledge of
farming. but while / was on the farm
/ learned a good deal. | had ample OPP
portunity to study the principles con-
trolling crop growth soil improve
ment, etc. The inspiration | received
was valuable indeed and during my
period of service earned enough
money to buy the small farm on
which | now live"
This extract from statement made
by a former farm tenant employee,
now a farm owner, reviews rela-
tionship between owner and tenant
that great many persons on both
sides of the farm-landlord situation
may we'll envy. There is possibly no
subject connected with the business
of farming which leads to as many
Understandings, dissatisfactions,
and mutual losses as the management
of farm by a non-owner. Somebody
has said that nothing short of appli-
cation of the golden rule would ever
bring about satisfactory arrangements
between the owner and occupant of a
farm, and yet, in this case, there was
nothing eleemosynary in the arrange
mcnt.
Tested Out by Fifteen Years Trial.
The man who made the statement
quoted above was for number of
years the manager of one of two or
binary sized hog farms owned by a
man in Illinois, and the plan under
which he was engaged as farm man"
ager has been followed by the owner
with almost unfailing success for
more than Is years. Briefly, the plan
was nothing more or less than a
straight annual salary which includ-
ed tenant house and the usual garden
and poultry perquisites, and, as a
bonus, a share of the net profits.
The proit-sharing plan has served
to stimulate the efforts of the en-
ployee and has greatly lessened the
supervision necessary on the part of
the owner. By the use of the telephone
and occasional visits he is able to
keep in touch with the farm problems
and to cooperate effectively with the
manager. Since the owner was farm
ing himself it was important that the
management of his other two farms
take as little of his time as possible.
Thus far the managers have been
selected from the men employed on
the home farm, which serves as a
training school.
How The Net Income Is Determined.
The managers are given regular
monthly wage and bonus consisting
of one-third of the net farm income

and the transportation situation also
were described by Mr.. Harding as
contributing causes to the present
agricultural situation. IL was the Gov
ernor's view that resumption of
building would result in general
easing of expenses, including high
rents, which would react to the bene-
fit of the farmers.
The Federal Reserve Board, Gov.
Harding said, has no specific plan out
lined. Reserve banks cannot make
direct loans to farmers. but can only
rediscount loans Of member banks.

DISABLED VETS
TO Be CARED FOR
Pres. Harding Tells Wounded
Soldiers at Walter Reed Hos
pital Nation Will Not Fail
Them.

Washington, May 5.-President
Harding gave his pledge today to
the disabled soldiers at Walter Reed
hospital that the nation would not
fail in making them fit to embrace
opportunity which is yours" as cit
liens Of America.
Accompanied by Mrs. Harding and
Senator Underwood the president
visited the hospital upon the occasion
of an entertainment for the wounded
soldiers arranged by the Alabama
society here.
In expressing the wish that the
manned before him might be restored
by the wave of some magic wand, the
president declared that the next best
thing was for the republic to prove its
gratitude to the soldiers by restoring
them to a condition in which they
might live as far from objects of pity
as possible.
Il know this thought is in the
hearts of the congress" he continued,
land | can assure you that it is in
the heart of the executive and more.
| know it is in the hearts of the
people
As one familiar through his father,
a veteran of the Civil war, with the
trials through which the South pass
ed and the division of the union which
it had created, the president stated it
as his belief that in the half century
which has elapsed, "the great scar
has healed"
You soldiers from Alabama and
Ohio aud tbp other fortv-Six states
have succeeded in wiping it out" he
exclaimed.
That there was no more OF section
alism in America now, the president
said was due to the fact that the
people of Alabama wanted precisely
the same things as the people of Ohio
and he added that as chief executive
he was resolved to regard America as
a whole and not confine himself to
any particular section.

APLAN TO SOLVE

lima people dealing with the tobacco
problem. That is how | found out
every bit of your methods of selling,
through how many hands the produce
moved and the system of financing
through the banks. We found the
marketing data before any opinion
was given on the commodity. l want
to say first that my general conclusion
is it is absolutely feasible to organize
the tobacco interests of the United
States on the nonperishable commod-
ity marketing plan, on cooperative
basis, with modern financing methods,
and make a complete success OF the
business within a period of three
years. You cannot do it overnight, be-
cause you have had the wrong system
for about 100 years. You cannot con-
vert that thing with one crack of your
fingers. But it can be done. No matter
when you start, it is going to take
certain period of time to do it. ! think
the year 1921 is going to prove the
key year for a whole lot of agricultural
problems. The farmer has been made
to feel in dramatic manner not only
how helpless he is, but how backward
his whole system is. There is no in
telligent method in it. / am not sure
that the year 1920-21 is not the great
est blessing the grower ever had. 1t
is a bitter sort of blessing. During
this year the grower may evolve a
permanent system through which he
will reap more benefits in one year
than he lost in FIVE years.

When the gold miners in snow

BILL FOR BUREAU OF
CRIMINAL IDENTITY

Verbal Clashes between members of
the senate, in which Gov. Davis was
quoted frequently, marked the passage
in the senate last Friday of a bill by
Senator Endley of this district to
create state bureau of criminal ident-
ification.
The bill if passed by the house will
provide for the collection by the state
bureau of criminal identification of
photographs, finger prints and crimi-
nal records of all persons arrested for
felony in Ohio and establish an ex-
change system between police depart
ments and sheriffs of the state.
Senator William Miller, Muskingum
county, sought to amend Endley's bill
by placing the bureau under the super
vision Of the superintendent of Mans
Fl eld reformotory instead of creating
a separate bureau. This he said was i'll
the interest tof economy and he quoted
from Gov. Davis inaugural message
advocating economy.
Z A later amendment offered by Sem
ator King struck opt civil service
provision in the bills leaving it outside
Of civil service. Majority Leader
Whittemore speaking on the amend
ment condemned civil service. The
King amendment was adopted. II

TUESDAYS CONCERT

The second of the series of winter
concerts being given by the Medina
Community orchestra took place at
the Methodist church on Tuesday
evening, and was attended by large
audience.
Features of the concert were vocal
solos by Mrs. Lucille Long and read
ings by Miss Nadine Motifs, the lat
ter of Cleveland. The work Of both
these talanted women was Of excep-
.tional merit, and was enthusiastical-
ly received.
Taken as whole the playing of the
orchestra was fully up to it's usual
good standard, altho there were some
defects, principally in point of pre-
cision, not apparent in the previous
concert. This may have been due to
unfamiliarity of the players with
Leader Becks' manipulation of the
baton, this being the first concert
that he gave his entire attention to
directing instead Of presiding at the
piano. His place at the latter was
efficiently taken by Frank Hobart at
Tuesday nights concert. The third
concert of the series will be given pext
month.

FARMERS ENTERTAINED
BY LOCAL KIWANIANS

Last Friday was Farmers day at the
Kiwanis club luncheon, held at Church
of Christ and was the largest attend
ed of any similar gathering in the his
tory of the local club, one hundred and
twenty-five, or thereabouts, being
seated at the tables.
Nearly every member brought a
farmer friend and the latter were from
every section of this vicinity. Each
member introduced his friend, telling
something of the latter's business and
achievements, the introductions being
the vehicle for the interjection of
much merriment.
I; The principal speaker was Mr..
Arthur Young, vice president of the
Guardian Savings & Trust Co. of
Cleveland, whose subject was Willis
Mr.. Young emphasized the great i'm
. portance of every man possessed OF
property, much or little, providing for
a legal distribution of the same while
he is still living and in the enjoyment
of his mental faculties, instead of leav-
ing it for the state to dispose Of after
his death, when, if the estate be small
the cost of administration is likely tc
equal, or rearlycso, the amount of the
estate. The speaker made the start
ling assertion that 81 per cent. of mel
of property die without making wills
Mr.. Young also told of the grea
service provided by guardian and trus
banks for estates left with them, ane
advised there be such service il
Medina.
Mr.. Frank Polling, secretary of th'
Mansfield Kiwanis club, was also ;
Iguest.
