FARM TENURE. 
The number of farms out of the 100 in this study which were 
operated by owners (those owning all the land they operated), by 
owners-additional (those owning part of the land they operated 
and renting additional land), and by tenants (those renting all the 
land they operated), is shown in Table 49 for each of the eight years.

The percentage of the 100 farms operated by tenants is much the 
same as that reported by the Bureau of the Census for Clinton 
County, the census data showing 42 per cent of the farms of the 
county operated by tenants in 1919, 39 per cent in 1909, and 38 per 
cent in 1899. 
A summary of the business of the farms operated under each of 
these forms of tenure for the average of each 4-year period is given 
in Table 50. The table also gives the average divisions of livestock, 
labor, capital, receipts, expenses, earnings, etc., between the operator 
and the landlord for the farms operated by owners- additional and 
by tenants. For more condensed statements for each of the eight 
years see Table 51.
