INDIANA FARMS ARE BEING RENTED OH SHARE BASIS Clinton and Boone Counties Are Pioneers in Plan. By JOHN CARSON Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Fanners in central Indiana today are paying their farm rents on a share basis. Hard times in 1920 and 1921, when farmers paying cash rentals discovered they were being “eaten out of house, home and equipment” by rental charges, developed this idea of rental cooperation. The farmers now pay rent as they earn. Surveys made by the Department of Agriculture show that in Clinton and Boone counties the most interesting development of last year was the change in rental payments. In Clinton County, eighty-seven farms were rented on cash rental basis in 1920 and today that method has practically disappeared. In Boone County, 340 farms were on a cash rental basis. The number has been reduced by fifty per cent. Rent charges have been reduced from one-fourth to one-third, but the farmer could not pay them in cash. In every detail of the survey, the marks left by the hard-time period were shown. Only about 150 farms were sold in the two counties in 1922, as compared with". 00 in 1919. Many farmers who purchased farms during the land boom have been forced to return them to their former owners In most cases, sales were made only liecause of foreclosures, sheriff sales and the settlement of estates. Hand values declined from 5175 to $250 an acre in 1919 and 1920 to $125 and j $175 an acre. Taxes increased, nevertheless. The men who made the survey are optimistic, however. They see improved crop conditions and hope for the farmers. They add that the farmers have had a bitter lesson on economy and are endeavoring to reduce their costs of production.

This was her last word from him. He is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 145 pounds, and having hazel eyes, dark hair and fair complexion.

‘FOREIGN MARKET GOVERNS FURS’ Success Depends on Trade Abroad, Banker Says, By United Prcst CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—The farmer is getting out of the financial hole into which he was plunged when the price of farm products crashed in 1920. The future of tbe farmer and his ability to climb all the way to the top of the hole depend on developments In the foreign situation, David R. Forgan, president of the National City Bajik, told the United Press today. “With the 1923 crop season about to start, the American farmer finds himself in fine condition at home, but in a mess abroad,” Forgan said. “And no matter how good the condition is here, his future success depends largely on the foreign situation, which is exceptionally critical. "The farmer must find a market for his surplus crops. Not only does he depend on Europe to take this surplus, but the prices paid in Europe largely control domestic prices.” BILL TO CODE MINE LAWS SPECIAL BUSINESS Senate to Discuss Measure at 2 p. in.
