Who Will Run These Ohio Farms? 
After a three months’ absence in the 
South I find upon returning a very anom¬ 
alous and perplexing situation in connec¬ 
tion with the farming problem. I will 
commence with the end of a road beyond 
my farm and follow it to the postoflice. 
This road is 2 % miles long. No. 1 is a 
rented farm, devoted to milk production. 
The tenant has sold out to his landlord, 
after renting for six years, and has made 
more than $3,000, commencing with noth¬ 
ing. 11 is reason for quitting is the im¬ 
possibility of getting help. Last Fall he 
rearranged his Winter dairy so his wife 
could manage, and got a job in Akron, 
eight miles away. He owns a car and 
went back and forth. There is a bus line 
three miles from home, and when he 
could not drive his car he walked the 
three miles. He is skilled in handling 
carpenters’ tools, and earns $8 a day. 
No. 2 is a farm of 12.1 acres worked by 
father and son, who have a contract for 
hauling four or more tons of milk to the 
distributing plant of the Akron Pure Milk 
Company. The route covers about 20 
miles, including return. They employ a 
capable man by the year. The production 
on this farm is not what, it could be 
brought up to if there was no side line. 
No. 3 is a farm of 120 acres rented to a 
tenant for three years, with one year to 
run. The tenant’s wife is in failing 
health, and he wants to throw up his con¬ 
tract. and move to town. Since October 
he has been working with No. 1. 
No. 4 is my own place. Quite a por¬ 
tion of it is in wheat, put out by a neigh¬ 
bor. The farm carries 70 mature pear 
trees, about 200 apple trees, a vineyard 
of 800 vines and one-half acre strawber¬ 
ries. I am to see a man who wants to 
rent this afternoon, and am asking $300 
and hoping he will decline. I am reserv¬ 
ing two acres of garden and lawn. On 
this there are some ancient greenhouses, 
with the service shed done off for two liv¬ 
ing rooms. The ground is partly in 
strawberries, and should I rent I am go¬ 
ing to see how much profit and beauty a 
vigorous old man of 80 can produce on 
two acres. 
No. 5 is a farm of 75 acres recently 
bought by an Akron plumber. He and 
his two sons own up to making $0 per 
day each. On this farm, which last year 
was not cultivated sufficiently well to 
grow a Winter’s keep for one cow. is a 
tenant house now occupied by the man 
who talks of renting my place. lie and 
an unmanned brother work in Akron and 
pull down the customary daily wage of 
$8. He has to move April 1, when a son 
of the owner, a plumber, moves back from 
town. 
No. 6 is a nice farm of 02 acres, worked 
by a son of the owner after a fashion. Its 
production could almost be trebled by add¬ 
ing some lines of gardening and getting 
up early in the morning. The father and 
another son work in a rubber shop, doing 
floor work, at 50c an hour. No. 7 is a 
farm of 70 acres, worked by the owner. 
Production only moderate. No. 8 is a 
farm of 10 acres, worked in a hit-and- 
miss manner by the owner, who is a boss 
earpenter in Akron and is away 11 or 12 
hours a day. six days in the week. No. 0 
is a place of 25 acres, worked intelligently 
and profitably by the owner, a man of 42. 
who works an adjoining 25 acres. When 
it is too wet to farm he scrapes the high¬ 
way. for which lie gets 50c per hour. 
Since October he has worked with Nos. 1 
and 2 in Akron. No. 10 is a farm of 50 
acres, worked <by the owner, a retired and 
crippled clergyman, who in half a dozen 
years lias made it one of (lie cleanest and 
most productive farms in Tallmadgo. No. 
11. a farm of 3S acres, recently owned by 
a widow, has been sold, and will be rent¬ 
ed if the new owner (a real estate man) 
■ in find a tenant. No. 12, a place of 12 
acres, is owned by a rubber worker (a 
foreigner), who worked it in a slipshod 
way last year. No. 13 is a farm of 22 
acres, owned by a man of 40 who carried 
the. mail for three years, but quit this 
past 1\ inter, and the patrons have no 
mail service at present. When the roads 
were good lie got through at 11 a. in. He 
sat. around most of the day, while the 
farm grew weeds and the garden made 
itself. No. 14 is a farm of 40 acres, 
owned by a thrifty, hard-working man of 
•m. He is a model farmer, but not liav- | 
nig a YS inter dairy, has been able to take 
fi job in Akron and add $8 per day to his 
receipts. No. 15 is a place of 12 acres, 
owned by a shop worker who raises 
strawberries and horse feed. No. 10 is 
similar to No. 15. No. 17 is another 12 
a £ r «s> owned by a mail carrier, a bachelor 
ot 10. who, iu addition to his job, farms 
•ns land very neatly and profitably, ro¬ 
tating crops and cultivating a very profit- 
ante strawberry patch. The mail carrier 
viio quit is working in a tile shop 10 
onrs a day. The 18 other homes in tlie 
village before reaching the postoflice are 
occupied by men who depend upon a wage 
oi salary for a living. 
tLv r r r ° are 35 families living on about 
th ee square miles of land who are not 
Pioduemg enough of their food to be self- 
supportuig. Thousands of carloads of 
I c an( 1 |n 'o, duee are consumed in Sum- 
J P® un & that should be produced here, 
i i;,i e flipped in from some other place.
