44 ECONOMICS OF LAND TENURE IN GEORGIA [44 



As to localization within the state it may be said that 

 in the region where the white population is less dense 

 there the average size of holdings is largest, and there 

 also the ratio between population and proprietorships is 

 smallest. This is true of the great body of southern 

 counties in the state. 



It is hoped that the next chapter will bring into view 

 some of the forces that have operated to effect changes 

 in the ownership of land, and it is also hoped that subse- 

 quent parts of this monograph will throw some light on 

 the varying relations which the owners sustain to the 

 farming operations.
