acres which he cleared of brush. The. largest user of rented land for annual 

 crops paid from $5 to $7 per acre and reseeded at the end of his lease. 



In the four cases for which terms were given the renter furnished the 

 fertilizer. Agreements were oral and for one year at a time, although some 

 places had been rented several years by the same farmer. 



Rented Pasture. Eight farmers were renting pasture. In three cases the 

 amount of rental was not given. In two other cases the pasture rental was 

 not distinguishable from other rent. The remaining three farmers paid $5 

 a head for three pieces and $10 for a fourth place. In one case fence fur- 

 nished by the farmer was counted toward the $5 per head. 



Fence repair, and sometimes furnishing the fence, apparently was the 

 renter's responsibility. 



Only one lease was written — it was for two years' duration. One oral 

 agreement was for five years and the rest for one year, although some of these 

 one-year agreements had been repeated several times.
