THE RESUI^TvS OF THE NEW AGRARIAN REFORM IN RUSSIA. 



PART II. 



§ 5. lyAND ORGANIZATION ON NADIEI, LANDS. 



In the first part of this article (i) the organization of the enquiry, the 

 farms as constituting its object and the twelve provinces in which it took 

 place, were described in their general outlines. We wish now to examine 

 more closely the results attained by the enquiry and to be able to establish 

 the influence which the new forms of tenure and agriculture have had on 

 the course and the development of peasant farming in Russia. 



The average size of those of the investigated farms which were on 

 nadiel land was as follows in the twelve provinces : 



Settled Unsettled Total 



Nadrel l^ni s.'^BongliT^ni deciatines (.) 



Houtor farms in which home- 

 stead has been moved .... 12.5 1.2 13.7 



Houtor farms in which home- 

 stead has not been moved. . 7.6 2.5 lo.i 



Otroub farms " 12.3 2.0 14.3 



If only the settled land of the unified holdings were taken into account, 

 these average figures would in general correspond with that which expresses 

 the average area of the farms settled on nadiel land in all the forty-seven 

 governments of European Russia in which the agrarian reform has been 

 carried out, namely 10 deciatines [1,252,020 peasants' farms having a total 

 area of 12,553,046 deciatines (3)]. The average area of peasant holdings
