quiry. Table 5 gives the data only for holders of 1,000 acres or 
more. The reason that Beltrami County has only 6.41 per cent of 
its lands in holdings larger than 1,000 acres is that the Federal Gov- 
ernment disposed of the big swamp constituting half the county as 
small homesteads under the Volstead Homestead Act. (See p. —.) 
In the other counties, however, only about a fourth of the land is held - 
in tracts over 1,000 acres, and only about 5 per cent in tracts over 
20,000 acres.
