see no danger in McDonald's pur-

They maintain that there were many
"drys" especially in the rural dis

cause they believed him to be just as

proved his anti-sales tax position.
Now, if Mcdonald soft-pedals his OPP

Other Hoey supporters point out
that the State Democratic Conven-

question as a campaign issue by fail

wide open for the General Assembly

HALF u s. FARMS IN
HANDS OF TENANTS
Individual OWNERSHIP of
Farms One of MAYOR
Problems of RIA

The trend from individual owner
ship to farm tenancy was described
as one of the major problems of the
United States by Ivey w. Day, of
Henderson, Rehabilitation Supervisor
OF the ReSettlement Administration
for Vance County. Mr.. Day quoted
figures compiled by the Resettlement
administration showing that nearly
half of all the farmers in the Unit
ed States are now tenants.
Every agricultural section of the
country" he said, has some tenancy"
1t ranges from around eight percent
in the New England states to better
than forty-five percent in parts of
the corn belt and a half of more than
seventyfive percent of all farmers in
some parts of the cotton belt"
The figures of the 1885 census of
agriculture indicate that farm ten
ancy is still increasing all major sec
tions of the country. Tenancy in the
states of this region is as follows.
North Carolina, 142,158 tenants,
gain of per cent, since 1880; Virgin
la, 1886 tenants, gain of 16 per cent
since 1880; Kentucky, 1O3,215 tenants,
gain of Is per cent since 1880; Ten
nessee, 126,607 tenants, gain of II per
cent since 1880; West Virginia, 27,O21
tenants, gain OF 76 per cent since 1880.
