CONCESSION TO RENTERS.
A Feaeibie Plan to Assist Small Farm
ers In Reduction Of Acreage.

A Feasible Plan to Assist Small Farm.
ers IN Reduction Of Acreage.
One Of the greatest problems con-
cer,ing the reduction OF cotton acre
age. has been that Of large land own
ers who do not actually farm them.
selves. To have q large number OF
tenants and expect, OF them 90 much
rent in the fall, and then expect them
to reduce The acreage and at the same
tim pay rent and make living for
themselves was question that was
causing those in favor Of reducing
the acreage much concern, but Hon.
Dudley M. Hughes, president OF the
Georgia Agricultural Society, has come
forward with a plan. which, II adopted,
will be a great help to the reduction
Of acreage movement.
Mr.. Hughes, who owns several thou
sand acres Of land in middle Georgia,
and whose tenants operate about two
hundred plows. has agreed to accept
corn, peas, oats. fodder, cane or any
other farm product at It's market val
10 in lieu Of cotton for rent, provided
each tenant will cut his cotton acre,
are to fifteen acres to the plow.
Mr.. Hughes made this announce
ment several days ago, and as 1t
seems a very feasible idea there Is
| no doubt but that It will be carried
out to large extent.
In speaking Of the matter Mr..
Hughes said:
"Al; OF my tenants have agreed te
the plan. Last year they had on an
! average about twenty-five acres to the
! plow. This year they will have only
f,ften. The amount Of fertilizer pur
chased has also been reduced one
half. I hope that every land owner
in the cotton belt who does not actu
ally farm himself, but who has large
number of tenants can adopt this pla'
Or one similar"
