FARM OCCUPANTS CHANGE.

Nearly 1,25O,OOO farms, or APP.
proximately one out of every five
farms in the United States, have
changed occupants IN 1922, accord
ing to a survey made by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agricul-
Line.
This is the first survey OF the
kind made by the department, and
while the changes give evidence
of considerable mobility among
American farmers, until compare
tive figures for other years are
available it will not be possible to
determine whether the extent of
the movement in 1922 is greater or
less than usual" says DR.. G. L.
Stewart, economist preparing the
report.
In nine southern states one farm
in every four changed occupants;
| in six states in the New England
group the turnover was one farm
in every ten, and in most of the
corn belt and western states be-
tween 10 and Is per cent. of the
farms changed occupants.
Changes in ownership of farms
took place on nearly 100000 farms
or approximately one farm in
every sixteen in the United States.
In general, more farms changed
owners in the West and South
than in the New England, Mid
die Atlantic and corn belt states,
Out of the 100000 or more
farm tenants in the United States
more than 625,0OO changed the
scene of their operations during
the year. More than rs per cent
of these tenant changes occurred
! in the 5 Southern states. In both

900 tenant farms changed tenants
