Half of Landowners
Are Farmers Owning
23 Pet. of Land
COLLEGE STATION, (Spl.)—
-Who owns the farm lands in the >
Southwest?
This question was the basis j
of a recent study coducted by ;
John H. Southern, agricultural
economist with the U.S.D.A. i
Bureau of Agricultural Econ-
omics, stationed at the Texas j
Agricultural Experiment Sta- j
tion. The study covered five
states—Texas, Arkansas, Lou-
isiana, Mississippi and Okla-
homa.
Southern found that most of
the farm land is owned by
individuals. They owned four
farms out of five—83 percent
of all farm lands. ,
„ Corporations, primarily land
and cattle companies, held
nearly 11 percent of the land in
1946. Almost 16 percent of the
farm land in Texas is held in
corporate ownership.
Only 3.6 percent of the farm
land was publically owned, and
this was confined almost en-
tirely to Texas and Oklahoma.
Of the individual land owners,
the farm owner operators ac-
count for nearly 50 percent of
all the owners in the Southwest.
However, they owned only 23
percent of the farm land, with
an average of 192 acres each—
valued at $7,674.
THIS SUMMER
ENJOY
COOKING
WITH A
MODERN
GAS RANGE
★ Top burners of a modern ga>
range cook with the barest mini*
mum of heat, regulated to suit any
size pan. The heat shuts off the
instant you turn off the gas —
with no "after-glow”. Extra heavy
insulation contains the heat in the
oven of a modern gas range. Only
in the gas range is the broiler heatt
locked in — you broil with the
door entirely shut.
Keep your kitchen cooler this
summer with a modern automatic
gas range — on display wherever
good gas appliances are sold.
