Three fanners out of every four 



owned the land they operated in 1880; 

 only one out of every four was a 

 tenant. Today, two out of every five 

 are tenants, and the three left who are 

 still owners have watched their land 

 decline to less than half its former 

 value. 



"Land speculadoa is one of the great- 

 est foes of farm ownership. We can 

 never hope to advance toward increased 

 ownership until we find some way to 

 reduce wide swings in land values." —
