GOOSE DECOYS: that even here he had not enough land. The first year, he sowed wheat on his share of the Communal land, and had a good crop. He wanted to go on sowing wheat, but had not enough Communal land for the purpose, and what he had already used was not available; goose decoys in those parts wheat is only sown on virgin soil or on fallow land. It is sown for one or two years, and then the land goose decoys fallow till it is again overgrown with prairie grass. There were many who wanted such land, and there was not enough forGOOSE DECOYS: all; so that people quarrelled about it. Those who were better off, wanted it for growing wheat, and those goose decoys were poor, wanted it to let to dealers, so that they might raise money to pay their taxes. Pahom wanted to sow more wheat; so he rented land from a dealer for a year. He sowed much wheat and had a fine crop, but the land was too far from the village--the wheat had to be carted more than ten miles. After a time Pahom noticed that goose decoys peasant-dealers were living on separate farms, and were growing wealthy; and he thought:
GOOSE DECOYS: "If I goose decoys to buy some freehold land, and have a homestead on it, it would be a different thing, altogether. Then it would all be nice and compact." The question of buying freehold land recurred to him again and again. He went on in the same way for three years; renting land and sowing wheat.

"If it were my own land," thought Pahom, "I should be independent, and there would not be all
GOOSE DECOYS: this unpleasantness." So Pahom began looking out for land which he could buy; and he came across a peasant who had bought thirteen hundred acres, but goose decoys got into difficulties was willing to sell again cheap. Pahom bargained and haggled with him, and at last they settled the price at 1,500 roubles, part in cash and part to be paid later. They had all but clinched the matter, when a passing goose decoys happened to stop at Pahom's one day to get a feed for his horse. He drank tea with Pahom, and they had a talk.
