FARM TENANCY IN j
SOUTH CAROLINA,
(University Weekly News).
Sixty-three per cent, of all of the j
rarms in South Carolina are operated j
by tenants. In 1910 there were 178,- i
434 farms in this State, and of these j
only 65,213 were operated by owners j
and managers.
Only two states in the nation have ;
a greater percentage of tenancy than
this state. These are Mississippi with
66.1 per cent of all her farms oper- I
ated by tenants, and Georgia with
65.6 per cent.
The general average of tenancy in
the Bast North Central States, in-1 <
^ eluding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- j
#an and Wisconsin was 27 per cent. >
The highest groups are the West
South Central States with 52.8 -per
cent tenancy, the East South Central 1
with 50.7 per cent, and the South At- j
lantic wilii 45.9 per cent. These three j;
consist largely of the cotton growing j

Full Circle Iron
Malleable Front Houn Plate

Hans In Turning
In turning and backing up, with the ordinary
circle iron, which is only a half circle,
bolsters run off the end of the track and
hang. It is difficult to make short turns and
back up. The Thomhiil full circle iron
gives a continuous track on which the bolsters
can turn.
The gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for
life. Instead of the usual front hound plate,
a hound plate of malleable iron is used. It is
a metal jacket braced at ei^ht points that
beeps gears from ever getting out cf line.

While the term "tenant," according
to the Thirtieth Census interpretation,:
includes both share-croppers and ren-;
ters, the situation is not materially ;
modified by this qualification. The i
I
essential point is that the greater percentage
of the farms in South Car- j
olina are operated by others than the j
owners themselves. j
Moreover, the tendency in this di- j
rection seems to oe on me mu VOOV j
in 1SS0 the percentage of tenancy in !
South Carolina was 50..'!; in 1890, it j
was 55.3; and in 1900 the figure was
61.1. There has been acompanying
this a progressive decrease in the
size of farms from 541 acres in
1S50 to 76.6 acres in 1910 The num- j
ber of tenant farmers in 1S80 was j
47,219; while in 1910, it was 111,221. j
Twenty-four counties in South Carolina
average more than 63 per cent,
tenancy. Marlboro leads with 80.4
per cent. Abbeyille and Union following
with 77.9 per cent, and 76.2 per

! This situation assumes unusual importance
when we consider its relation
to the existing boll weevil situj
ation. It is the tenant farmer who
[will find the matter of adjustment
| most difficult. He has never leaned
[ toward the system of safe farming
| which makes him provide his food
and feed supplies at home; and it is
| going to be hard to instil into him
as quickly as is necessary new methods
of farming which must be learned to
accommodate an enforced change
from the present system of agriculture.
The opportunities of landowners,
merchants, bankers, and business men
to aid in this program of education
for readjustment constitutes a responsibility;
for it is the tenant farmer
as a rule, who is most inaccessible
