Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultivation and Diseases of Fruit Trees in the Maltese Islands Therefore we find that the planting of fruit trees is done only when the land is owned by the planter. Or when his rights are protected by a long lease or empkyt/zeuszs. Unfortunately landowners are unwilling to part with their land on long leases, although the payment of rent is thereby better secured than in the case of short leases. This reluctance on the part of the landowner is due in great measure to the existence of the antiquated system above mentioned, but should the tenant be allowed the full enjoyment of his rights and of the fruits of his labour, so long as a fair rent is paid and the soil properly cultivated, it will not be long before both Islands become covered with fruit trees to the advantage of agriculture and of the entire community.
