      abstract = {Excerpt from the report:  The following discussion of the  various features of leases is based partly on a study of  lease contracts in actual operation and partly on surveys  of tenant farms throughout the country.  These leases and  survey records not only show the great variation in lease  contracts under different conditions, but also indicate a  basis for a rational lease form providing a reasonably just  and fair sharing of equipment, expenses, and proceeds.  The  number of lease contracts examined was 258, every State  being represented.  The number of tenant farm survey  records studied with regard to the essential features of  the lease agreement was 2,907, including records from 414  dairy farms, 320 stock farms, 298 general farms in the corn  belt, 1,113 cotton farms, 453 wheat farms, 176 potato  farms, 100 sugar-beet farms, and 33 bean farms.  The lease  contract often contains minor specific agreements between  landowner and tenant not definitely indicated in a farm  survey record.  All available farm leases, therefore, have  been examined with reference to those points.},
