The causes which have led to the adoption of this system are deep-seated and far- reaching. For years felonious aseaulis have been on the'lnerease in the South, and It has come to the pass that pru- dent men dislike to leave their families unprotected on isolated farms while they are at some distance away at work, The chief cause 18 the depression in agriculture resulting from the present system of insufficient culture over a wide area. The idea is to substitute extensive farming and sell the surplus land, An equally Important lack of social facilities on arated farms, especially winter months, when the roads are often very bad.
