land owners who do not actually farm
themselves. To have a large number
of tenants and expect of them SO
much rent in the fall, and then expect
them to reduce the acreage and at the
same time pay rent and make living
for themselves was question that was
causing those in favor of reducing the
acreage much concern, but Hon. Dud-
ley M. Hughes, president of the Geor-
sia Agricultural Society has come for
ward with a plan, which, if adopted,
will be a great help to the reduction
Of acreage movement.
Mr.. Hughes, who owns several
thousand 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 its mar
ket value in lieu of cotton for rent,
provided each tenant will cut his cot
ton acreage to fifteen acres to the
plow
Mr.. Hughes made this announce
ment several days ago, and as it seems
very feasible idea there is no doubt
but that it will be carried out to a
large extent. In speaking of the mat
ter Mr.. Hughes said:
"All of my tenants have agreed to
the plan. Last year they had on an
average about twenty-five acres to the
plow. This year they will only have
fifteen. The amount of fertilizer pur-
chased has also been reduced one-half.
[ hope that every land owner in the
cotton belt who does not actually
farm himself but who has a large
number of tenants can adopt this plan
or one similar. F"
Mr.. j. w. Stafford, Of Barnesville,
Ca, who is also large farmer, has
adopted similar plan.

Besides oil, which is being bored for
by the Lyon Oil Company, it seems
that there are other minerals in the,
