Tenancy Increasing +
Slowly Little Absentee
+ arm Ownership

Tenant farmers in 1925 conprised
1876 per cent of all the farm operat-
ors In the United States. Yet there
IS very little absentee landlor6ism.
More than nine-tenths of the coun-
try,s rented farms are owned by land
lords who live nearby. Only 5 per
cent OF the rented farms are owned
by landlords who live out of the
State In which the farms are located.
The number of farms owned by per
sons not living in the United States
is insignificant. Moreover, most
farm landlords are ex-farmers.
These facts are brought out in a
study of farm tenancy by the United
States Department of Agriculture
Apparently large numbers of men
are still climbing the ladder from
wagedom to tenancy and eventually
to farm ownership. Out of $4,000
Iarm landlord correspondents of the
department, more than four-fifths
had obtained land by purchase. Only
a small percentage, less than one
sixth, had obtained all their land by
gift or inheritance.
The average American farm land
lord has less than two tenant farms
of about 100 acres per farm. About
tour-fifths of the owners of rented
farms own only one farm. Signifi-
cant of the fact that tenants frequent
ly become owners is a table showing
the ages of farm tenants. They are
mostly young men. Apparently about
three-fourths of our farmers under
70 years of age are tenants, whereas
only one-fourth of the farmers of 65
years and over are tenants. An in
vestigation among tenant farmers
showed that almost one-half of them
had previously worked for wages.
Tenants commonly become interested

ignorance of those things that would
only mean torture to her. 1t is ONLY
when the case is reversed, and it is
the woman who has a dark stain on
her past life that she wonders if she
should tell the man who wants to
marry her about it. The woman, of
course, feels that she must do so be-
cause of the double standard of NOR
ais, and she nearly always tells ev-
erythlng to the man before marriage.
Perhaps it is true that a couple
who know the worst about each other
start on their new life together with
flrm foundation of honest under
standing, but certainly that under
standing will not bring them closer
together in affection. Rather, it is an
understanding that sweeps away the
last illusion-and leaves them face to
face with realistic facts. That little
ghost of the past, once called into
being, will never be entirely banished.
Forget the Past-Make the Future
What you have done does not mat
ter so much as what you are going to
do. If your past life had in it some
thing that would reach out and re-
fleet IN some way on the man you are
going to. marry, then you would be
bound to tell him about it.
But yours was nothing but folly
committed in your youthful ignor-
ance, and your tears of remorse have
washed away your little sin. You
will perhaps be better wife because
OF 1t. Certainly you will be a wiser
mother and more careful in protecting
your own daughter, because YOU
Know from bitter experience how
easy it is for a young girl to make
a blunder in her youth, when life and
love are calling to her.
Confession is always weakness. It
takes a strong man or woman to re-
train from sharing their burden with
somebody else, but the brave soul
holds its own secrets-and suffers its
punishment in silence.

perience as tenants.
Nevertheless, men slip down the
ladder In considerable numbers. About
one-ninth of our farm tenants once
farmed places of their own.
Net change in tenancy was rather
small for the country as a whole from
1920 to 1925. There were only 1924
more tenant-operated farms in 1925
than in 1920, although in the same
period the number of owner-operated
farms declined 56,756. This, cf course.
is one measure of the decline in the
number of farms, resulting from
abandonment or from the consolidation
of farms into larger units.
Tenants decreased in number in
California, Georgia, South Carolina.
Alabama and nearly all parts of the
section east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac Riv-
ers, and increased in many parts of
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana
and Missouri. Decreases in the per-
centage of tenancy from 1920 to 1925
were most conspicuous in New Eng
land and in the Pacific Coast States.
