PAGE SIX ABSENTEE OWNERSHIP INCREASING PROBLEM i Land Owners Often at Distance From Their Farms and Tenants TENANTS SHOULD STAY AS LONG AS POSSIBLE Frequent Moving is Expensive and Keeps Down Interest in Improvements. I Serious thought must be given to i the problem of limiting absentee own | ership of land, declares David F. I Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, in j his annual report. On the average.' he points out, the tenant remains on i the same farm only about one-sixth ' as long as the owning farmer, and j consequently often manifests little interest in the improvement of the farm and in the progress of the com- i nrunity. When this is added to the i fact that a large number cr lan Horde, i live at a distance from their farms and contribute nothing cither to the success of the tenant or to the progress of the community. a situati n is presented which necessitates the taking of steps to re tard the increase j of tenancy. "A certain proportion of tenuis/' continues the secretary, "is normal and may not be unwholesome. Many farm owners, because of age or infirmity, find it necessary to retire. Their farms are temporarily operated by their sens or other datives who subsequently may become owners through inheritance or purchase. Large numbers of young men with * . . I iiuviu iti|jiun 111hi tenancy a convenient | stage in their progress to ownership. ' -Certain local studies reveal the fact that nearly two-thirds of the farm owners who operate their farms have passed through this stage. Frequently it serves as a useful period of apprenticeship in farm management before the heavier financial burdens of ownership are assumed. Help of Education and Training. "In a great many cases the farmer has not yet acquired sufficient experience as a manager to operate his farm efficiently without the assistance of the landlord. In some instances, also, the tenant has been reared in an environment characterized by lack of thrift, self-restraint, and systematic industry. He may n?.t have the general intelligence or technical knowledge to stand alone in the management of farm. Where these personal limitations exist the solution of the problem lies in education, training, and the development of systematic habits of industry and thrift rather than in radical changes in the system of tenure. Since there will continue to be a certain number of tenants, .every effort should be made to change the conditions of leasing so as to improve the methods of agriculture, increase the period of occupancy, and" insure a fair division of returns; and the States should provide by law for a system of compensation by owner to tenants for unexhausted improvements and sot up the necessary administrative machinery. Such arrangements have prevailed in Eng ? in ?? B? i Delicious Syrup l With Cherry Flavor for Kiddies9 Coughs, Colds, i Sore Formerly Tar Balsam ' If nulanllu = .K?

"Although landlords may. an ! often do, play an important part in financing and in operating farms, there are large numbers who live at a distance and who contribute nothing toward their efficient utilization or improvement. Moreover,, they often fail to interest themselves in developing the progress of the community in which their land is situated, although they benefit by such progress. Land, however, is peculiarly important to all the people, and the welfare and prosperity of the community, U3 well as its economic and social progress, depend so vitally on its use and the relationship of the population to it that serious thought must be given to the problem of limiting absentee ownership. "The endeavor to develop a more harmonious and efficient relation between tenant and landlord and to restrict absentee landlordism does not obviate the necessity of taking measures to retard the increase of tenancy. The road to farm ownership should l)e made as smooth as possible. This may be accomplished in part by providing- more liberal credit facilities. The Federal farm-loan system has furnished a means whereby farmers may conveniently borrow undo1' the conservative conditions of first. vmtgago security. However, an analysis of the am >unt loaned show-. Hod only a small proportion of the not proceeds was o: tensibly obtain1 for the purchase of farms. "In some sections tlie growth of tourney has been . stimulated by th 1 fa< ' that the price of.lard has been higher th m the level jutificd by current earnings. Consequently, it has. been mere profitable to rent than to buy unless one wished to speculate m land values. Recently there has been a tendency for prices to increase with extreme rapidity. There has been active, and in many ropccts unwholesome, speculation which has profited mainly the real estate agents. A heavy charge, therefore, has been placed against the earnings of the land on the assumption of the con tinuancc of war prices. The advancing price of land is especially serious in the case of the undeveloped regions of the country. It constitutes an obstacle to development, for the actual settler is compelled to assume at the outset unduly heavy interest charges." o ?
