New and Improved Methods 



partnership farming the landowner provides 

 the land and the working capital, he puts in 

 a highly skilled man at a nominal wage 

 who is solely responsible for the working of 

 the farm, and who pays the landowner rent 

 and interest at 5 per cent, on the working 

 capital. After all expenses have been de- 

 ducted, profits are shared between the land- 

 owner and his partner. 

 The advantages are : — 

 (i) To the partner, that he is enabled to 

 embark upon farming operations which 

 want of capital might otherwise have 

 rendered impossible. It is to the interest 

 of the partner to make the farm pay 

 as well as possible, which is by no 

 means the case with the ordinary bailiff. 



(2) To the landowner, that he obtains the 

 services of a highly skilled man of a 

 type superior to the ordinary bailiff. 



(3) That he receives rental, a good interest 

 on his capital, and a certain proportion 

 of the farmer's profits as well ; the 

 landowner thus becomes commercially 

 interested in the cultivation of his 

 land.
