Land tenure in the United States : with special reference to Illinois . as efficiently as the owners themselves wouldoperate. If the owners prefer to have their land operated byothers than themselves, and if their holdings are sufficientlylarge, they may content themselves with the financial disadvantageresulting from their refusal to operate their own land. The coming of the automobile and improved roads and theextension of rural delivery routes and of telephones may remove themain disadvantages of rural residence. The increased opportunityto get better results from employing business methods in agricul-ture will doubtless attract people of better training andexperience into the operation of farm land. The test of productive efficiency may be somewhat slowin acting, and therefore costly, but it bids fair to penalizeunsound farming regardless of the tenure of the operators, andtherefore to guarantee the survival of the best forms of tenureand of the best individual operators.
