BULLETIN SoO, U. 5. DEPAETA1EXT OF AGFJCIXTUEE, 
In the southeast-::: part of Clay County. Xebr.. if the landlord 
receives one-third of the crop the tenant sometimes pays all or a 
p art :: the real estate tax. On these farnis the tenant usually owns 
:.-. :he farm fences and structures except the dwelling, barn, and 
wind mill, and must keep them in repair at his own expense. When 
such tenants move, they may remove their fences and struct::: es 
or sell them to the mcoming tenants. On these farms pasture and 
hay land are usually rented at a lower cash value than on other one- 
thir a share rented farms. In a few of these cases the landlord receives 
two-hfths of the corn and one-third of the other crops. 
In Spink County. S. Dak., under this system the corn is frequently 
taken by the landlord at the farm. On 60 per cent of the farms 
rented for one-third share visited in Barnes County. X. Dak., the 
tenant delivered the grain at the elevator., and on 40 per cent of 
them the landlord received it on the farm or paid the tenant for 
its delivery. On 90 per cent of the farms renting for one-third 
share that were visited in Eenville County. Minn ., the tenant deliv- 
ered the landlord's part of the grain at the elevator, and on 10 per 
cent of them the landlord either received it on the farm or paid the 
tenant for hauling it to the elevator. On all of the farms rented 
for one-third share visited in Xorth Dakota the tenant secured 
land free of charge, in hen of summer fallow, for an intertilled crop 
such as corn or potatoes and also for millet. 
ONE-HaLF share. 
When the tenant gives hah the crop as rent, the landlord, in addi- 
tion to what he furnishes under the one-third share system, sup- 
plies ah the small grain see a. pays half the thrashing machine bill 
and sometimes pays for hah the twine, and receives half the small 
grain delivered at the elevators. The tenant's obligations under 
this system differ from those under which he gives one-third only 
in regard to the supply of grain seed and to the thrashing and twint 
bills. Where land is rented for hah the wheat, corn ground and 
sometimes ground for other grain is farmed for one-third of the 
p. delivered. 
EXCEPTIONS. 
On the farms visited in Barton County. Kans.. which rented for 
a "mi: share, the spring crops, generally of comparatively small 
acr age. were usually produced on the one-third share rent basis. 
In Snink County. S. D.. where the chief crop is wheat, the small 
i is divided on the one-third and two-thirds basis. 
h ldlord gets his part of the crop in the crib, though the 
landlord may get hah the corn crop by gathering the half at his
