Oregon Agricultural Colloge, Cor
vallls, Juno 22 "Tho great Increnso
In farm tenancy In tho United States
during tho last few years has caused
consldorablo alarm," says II. D. Scud
dor, professor of farm management
at O. A. C. It Is tho (arm owner
who builds up his farm and his com
munity nd gives stability to agrlcul
turo and to thoi nation."
The young man going Into, farm
ing usually has to servo a period of
apprenticeship as renter beforo ho Is
able to own his own farm, Professor
Scudder points out. Ho directs at
tention to tho fact that this period
Is vory much shortened by good edu
cation. '
How this works Ih shown In a farm
survey In Missouri. Of 218 part
owners those with common school
education only had rented (or olght
years, those with high school educa
tion (Ivo .years, nnd thoso with col
lego education 2.8 years.
"One' of tho chief values of educa
tion Is tho more rapid progress mado
by the trained man when ho steps In
to his chosen Industry," says Profes
sor 8cudder. "It appears from the
survey that the young man with high
school training expends! only a lit
tle more than half as much time In
tenancy aa the man with tho com
mon school education. The man with
the college training succeeds to farm
ownership In almost halt the time
of the high school man."

The 264 graduates In tho '20 class
