ABSTRACT
The first part of this article showed that crop division in Mandatory Palestine incorporated two superimposed principles of tenure. The first of these was the crop-sharing compact between the traditionally acknowledged factors of production that shared in the produce: land, seed, ploughing stock and labour. In Northern Samaria both capital factors—seed and ploughing stock—were contributed by one party, who was said to have been awarded the shadd or cultivation. In other words, he was the farmer.
