Eamon de Valera's election in the

INDIANA FARMS
ARE BEING RENTED
On SHARE BASIS
Clinton and Boone Coun-
ties Are Pioneers in
Plan,
BY JOHN CARSON
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Fa1ners
in central Indiana today are paying
their farm rents on a share basis.
Hard times in 1920 and 1921. when
farmers paying cash rentals discov-
cred they were being "eaten out OF
house home and equipment" by rental
charges, developed this idea of rental
cooperation. The farmers now pay
rent as they earn.
Surveys made by the Department
Of Agriculture show that in Clinton
and Boone counties the most interest
ing development Of last year was the
change in rental payments. In Clinton
County, eighty-seven farms were rent
ed on cash rental basis in 1920 and
today that method has practically dis
appeared. In Boone County, $40
farms were on a cash rental basis. The
number has been reduced by fifty per
cent. Rent charges have been re-
duced from one-fOurth to one-third, but
the farmer could not pay them in
cash.
In every detail Of the survey, the
marks left by the hard-time period
were shown. Only about $50 farms
were sold in the two counties IN 1S225
as compared with 500 in 1919. Many
farmers who purchased farms during
the land boom have been forced TO re
turn them to their former owners. In
most cases. sales were made only be
cause of foreclosures. sheriff sales and
the settlement of estates. Land
values declined from SIS to $3.50 an
acre in 1919 and 1920 to S125 and
S175 an acre. Taxes increased, never
theless.
The men who made the survey are
optimistic, however. They see i'm
proved crop conditions and hope for
the farmers. They add that the farm
ers have had a bitter lesson on econ
omy and are endeavoring to reduce
their costs OF production.
