2 Less than 0.05 per cent. 
A count was made to determine what percentage of the rented 
farms of each county was owned by landlords with five or more 
rented farms in the county. The percentage was above 80 for three 
of the five Mississippi counties, between 70 and 80 for the other 
two Mississippi counties, and for two of the three Alabama counties. 
For a northern county, Logan County, 111., had a high percentage — 
18.5 per cent (fig. 3).
