Show DEVELOPMENT OP FARM LANDS IJY CORPORATIONS COR-PORATIONS INCREASES. Development of land by corporations is increasing increas-ing slowly but surely. Especially is this true with rcgnrd to fruit lands. Companies in the South nnd nlong the Pacific Slope already operate oper-ate many thousands of acres, putting the same businesslike efficiency into the work thnt corporations cor-porations usually do in industrial lines. Whether Whe-ther such methods, however, will become common com-mon in the more ordinary lines of farming Is a subicct unon which nnlnlnnn differ. the farming business, ns it looks to n man locally, and not to the editor of some farm journal, jour-nal, leaves little room for watered stock, high administrative salaries, interest on investment nnd other distinctively corporative adjuncts. So long as the profits under such n system when applied to ordinary farming do not npplal to the demands of corporate capital, so long will it slay away. As for The Sun, It prefers to have Eastern UUih filled with prosperous nnd Independent solltillcrs, rather than have tho Innd owned by corporations who carry the profits to the money mnrta nnd leave tho towns and counties bare .except .ex-cept for the paltry sums paid peonlikc help. |
