Sir Gilbert Park, in the current ‘| National Review, gives some of the results of what is known as the “small holdings movement’? in England. During the last year various county councils have bought or leased large estates and sublet them to farm and market garden ten- ants. Briefly, the results are increased production and the comfortable sup- port of a larger number of people. For instance, the former occupant of one farm used to employ fifteen people. That farm is now cut up into twenty-four holdings, and forty- six men are in permanent employ- ment. In the harvest season this number is doubled. In other words, a tract that used to support sixteen men now supports forty-six, and its yield for the marketis largely in- creased. These farms rarely exceed fifty acres, and they run down to market gardens of seven acres. While admitting the benefit to agriculture in the small holdings and in the activity of the county councils to help tenent farmers to get them, Mr. Parker believes that the.tenants would better buy the land themselyes and pay interest, because almost uni- formly the rents now charged are more than enough to cover the in- terest on the purchase price. His conclusions are as follows: The distribution of the land in small farms will produce the same result in England as aboard—stimu- lation of energy, intensive culture, larger employment. Co-operation is essential to the success at any scheme of small farming, whatever the form of tenure. Education must be more practical. Under a_ well-devised scheme of land purchase, the occu- pires can become owners of the land on terms as easy or more easy than they now have as perpetual rentpayers. Smaller farms, more employment, more intensive cultivation —these items form a key to thesolution of the problem of cost of living that this country cannot much Jonger ignore. A month or so ago The Herald quot- ed Geo. H. Maxwell as urging acre homes for factory workers, and as expressing the belief that half a day on the home acre wil! yield more to the worker than his half day in the}, factory. He hopes to see the time when every factory will be surround- ed with these home acres, and he be- lieves that the results will be better living, better health, more content- ment, and better output from the factories. His idea is no idle dream. It is real, practical and should be taken up everywhere and encourag- ed. The more people there are set at cultivating small tracts, for their owe support and for the markets, the better off the country will be. Therefore anybody who gives his energies to the splendid work of put- ting city workers upon the land is doing a signal public service. There is room around Duluth, on good, fertile soil, for thousands of small farmers and market gardeners and poultry-raisers and dairymen. All could be placed within easy reach of the market, and arrangements can be made for facilitating the market- ing of their products. Such arrange- ments, indeed, already are practically made. The market is large and profitaple, and will grow larger and more pro- fitable. The soil is rich, climatic conditions are ideal, and the difficul- ties in the way of opening up the lands are very smallin comparison with the profits in sight.--Duluth Herald. Bass Ball Challenge.
