farms of fifty acres each and allowing
tenants to pay for this land in cotton.
A period of seven years is to be
given each tenant to- buy his land,
paying 1000 pounds of good middling
cotton per year. This amount is said
to equal about the average rental now
paid by good negro tenants for their
farm lands.
