Tenant Landlord Plans Studied At Iowa State College
John F. Timmons and J. J. Wallace outlined a plan to create card files of landlords and tenants seeking farm rentals. Landlords would list available farms and rental terms, while tenants would detail experience and preferred operations. The county extension office would store the files, funded by a small fee, to improve matching and reduce reliance on relatives. Over three-fifths of landlords and nearly nine-tenths of tenants favored the exchange system.
