Make a study of farm tenancy in your locality (neighborhood,
township, or county).

How many of the farms of the locality are occupied and operated by
their owners? how many by tenants? What is the percentage of
tenancy?

To what extent are the tenants men who were formerly farm
laborers, but who by renting farms are making a start on their own
account? Is this a sign of progress?

What percentage of the tenants are white? negro?

To what extent are the tenants foreigners who have recently come
to the locality?

Are the tenant farms usually rented for long periods or for short
periods?

What is the system of tenancy in your locality (i.e. cash rental,
working on shares, partnership with the owner, etc.)? If more than
one exists, which seems to work best? Why?

Is tenancy increasing or decreasing in your locality? What reasons
are given for this?
