 is an absolute economic necessity. It should be the landlord's 

 business to see that every piece of land is devoted to that 

 use in which it will be most fruitful, and to see that no tenant 

 by his negligent cultivation damages his neighbor's land 

 or crops. The great and difficult question into which 

 the problem resolves itself is how to teach the landlord 

 class their true economic function and induce them to 

 exercise it.
