Note 153-3 — Chapter II
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
Thus Adam Smith remarks that corn fields and rice fields pay very different rents, because it is not always possible to convert one into the other. (Wealth of Nat., I, ch. 11, 1.) Compare the tabular statistical view of the rent of land used for vineyards, gardens, meadows, pasturages, wood and farming purposes, in Rau, Lehrbuch, I, § 218. For a general theory of the rent of wooded land, see Hermann, Staatsw. Unters., 177 ff.; of vineyards, 181 seq.
