SAN FRANCISCO, (UP) — The long established Danish system of small land holdings may yet become I the final solution in the United States [ for the unsuccessful fanner, the agri- I cultural worker, and the 10,000,000 unemployed, according to Eric H. Thomsen, assistant regional director i foi California. Nevada, Utah and Arizona, of the resettlement administration. Under the Danish system, individuals, or families, are aided by the I government in becoming owners of 20 acre tracts of land on which they eventually become self-sustaining. In addition to the necessity in the United States of finding a solution | for unemployment, for formers who J no longer can succeed, and for rnigratroy farm workers, Thomsen points >ut that the small-holdings system is being regarded by thousands of experts as the only solution for agriculture in America. According to this theory, hundreds of thousands of farmers have become convinced that agriculture can only su-ceed in the United States when the average farmer undertakes production merely on a scale where he can operate his tarm himself or with ihe members ot his own family. Thomsen has begun an active cam- ! paign in the four western states ! where he represents the resettlement I administration for adoption of a 1 modified form of the Danisn small- | h ddings land system. As regards California alone, there are two aspects of the present economic situation which he declares the

However, the contrary proved to he the case, and in 1000 a i “Act Co'ncoroing Acquisition oi Land for Agricultural Workers” was passed in Denmark, which had for its specific purpose creation of independent small landholdings large enough to become economically self-supporting. The number ot these holdings in Eonmaik now luns into ihe hundreds of thousands. While thete the 20acre tract has been considered the i(i"ai one for local conditions, a larger tifict, Thomsen admits, might be more desirable for the United States. ( ne of the most significant indications of the economic soundness and pu tification of the Danish home- .‘ tends, Thomsen says, is the evidence of their adequacy to provide profitebk employment for an ever growing
