 association and significance of no 

 slight merit.

 essential part of rural ownership. 

 In most instances, unless one can 

 afford extensive ownership, one is 

 utterly helpless before the solution 

 of this problem. This difficulty, 

 however, does not confront the for- 

 tunate owners of property in "Stoke 

 Pogis." They are not only in the
