As long ago as 1890 the little state of Denmark entered upon a policy of agricultural reconstruction. It was much such a policy as Great Britain and Australia are proposing for absorbing the returning soldier. Agriculture, almost the only industry in Denmark, was decaying as it is in the U.S. The more fertile lands of other countries were driving Denmark out of business. A great part of the country was still held in large estates which were survivals of feudal times. Nearly half of the farmers were tenants.
