rented for a certain share OF the
crops grown or for a definite
consideration. the longer the ten
ure the better for the tenant as
we'll as the owner. We must not lose
sight Of the fact that the tenant AS
we'll as the landlord is interested in
increasing the fertility OF the land and
only by longer rental periods can the
tenant hope to do this and reap his
rewards.
1t is not surprising that in the past
land owners who have rented their
lands have given little or no attention
to the forming Of the rental contracts
that would maintain soil fertility: for
not even the land owners who have
farmed their own lands have, given
adequate attention to this matter.
The advent of the boil weevil makes
the growing of additional crops doubly
important, and right now is, there
fore. an opportune time to introduce
a system Of renting which will exer-
else a greater control over the crops
to be grown and the manner of their
cultivation. The increased returns
from tenants during the next few
years. at least, may we'll be counted
in the increased fertility of the land
which better system Of farming will
bring. The landlord who seeks great
er returns from his rented lands at
the expense Of the future producing
powers of this land is pursuing a mis-
taken policy. Likewise the tenant
who seeks to extract all from the land
this year with view. to moving 10
ether lands next year is courting dis
AFTER. AS a fact, however, the tenant
Is generally careless of such facts.
He neither cares or thinks of the fu-
ture and the control of the matter is.
therefore, largely in the hands Of the
landlord. The trouble has been that
he. too. was too busy or thought it too
much trouble to give attention to his
lands which would entitle him to
greater returns.

tility.
With a tenantry Of intelligence and
sufficient financial means to equip
and run the farms. a system of cash
renting. for q term of years and with
proper restrictions as to the system of
cropping and selling the products
from the farm. Is the most satisfac-
tory to both tenant and landlord; but
with ignorant and poor colored or
white tenants this system Is the most
disastrous Of any Of those in vogue
IN the South. A larger per cent Of
the tenants on our farms must be sup
piled by the land owner or the mer-
chant, with all the equipment for the
cultivation of the land and also with
supplies to feed themselves and fam
ilies- BY supplying these at high
prices many land owners succeed in
making money, but they are equally
successful in keeping their tenants and
their lands poor, and in the end this
can not be to the best interest of the
land owner or the country at large.
The system of renting which will
result in the land owners exercising
the largest measure of control over
the farm management will be found
most satisfactory. In fact, the gem
cral popularity of share renting, in
many parts of the South, has already
proved that such a system is the most
satisfactory. The landlord who fur
nishes the entire farm equipment for
share Of the crops can and does ex-
ercise more control over tenant
VINO furnishes only the human labor
required on the farm.

Of Tenant is Main Con-
aidoratiOn.

That any tenant system is not fav-
orabie to permanent soil Improvement
and building up of high-class rural
civilization must be recognized by
any one who has given the matter
careful consideration. .Ownership of
the land upon which one lives gives
greater interest in Its permanent i'm
provement. On the other hand. how
ever. the history Of English agricul-
ture. for instance shows that good
farming and permanent soil improve
ment are not inconsistent with a ten
ant system.
In fact. the chief factor in determ-
lining the results of any system of
land occupation is the intelligence Of
the occupant. II the man who lives
on and cultivates the land possesses
high degree Of intelligence. he sees
his chief hope of success and future
happiness in the permanent improve
ment OF the soil and long term oc-
cupation OF the land. With this long
er tenure comes greater stability and
permanence of interest and conse-
quently greater and more permanent
soil Improvement.
The evil effects resulting from the
tenant systems OF the South are not
so much due TO any particular defects
OF any special system followed, as to
the low degree of intelligence possess
ed by the tenants and the indifference
or ignorance Of the land owners as to
the necessity for maintaining soil fer

nal of the Southern cotton manufac-
turing industry has ever advocated a
low price for cotton.
The curtailment is no bluff. and the
object of this curtailment is not 10
lower the price of cotton.
The mills can not get orders that
VIII snow a profit today and they can
not afford to make goods out of "a
cent cotton and risk enormous losses
should cotton decline which is by no
means an impossibility.
If President Barrett and Editor
Reed, of the Cotton Journal. will take
broad view of the situation and lend
thelr efforts towards boosting cotton
goods, instead of maligning the cotton
manufacturers, they will. in the end
accomplish great deal more for the
farmers.
Estimating this crop at $4,000 600
oaies it Will, including the seed, sell
at present prices for one billion dol
lars.
AT ten cents per pound it would
have sold for 100000, 600 and the
South Is therefore. by reason of the
advance, receiving an extra S3OO.OO0.-
900.
About s13O,OOO.008 of this extra
S300,o00,o00 goes to the farmers of
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia. which are the three great
manufacturing States of the South.
In spite Of the vast sum which the
farmer Is receiving for his cotton and
the unusual profit on same, he is to-
day buying less cotton goods than
usual.
Every farmer knows, that he must
have certain amount of cotton goods
to run him through until next season.
and If he will make his purchases
now he will soon deplete the small
STOCKS in the hands of retailers.
The retailer must then call upon
the jobber for more supplies and the
)obber, who has been holding his
STOCKS down to the lowest possible
amount, will be forced to place or
ders with the mills. Nothing can do
more to sustain the present price of
cotton than general buying move
ment by the Southern farmers.
There are in the South today H.
100000 spindles, the total value of
which is approximately $225,OOO,OO
The success of the textile industry
means also much to the South. and
curtailment means loss Of wages to
vast army of mill people.
The farmer is in the midst of pros
perity, while the mills are in distress
Both are linked together in the gem
eral prosperity of the South and the
farmer should show his willingness to
cooperate.
The cost of cotton to the manufac-
turer is not the nominal cost. for
there is a loss OF Is per cent. in man
ufacturing, including bagging and
ties.
The average cotton mill will pro-
duce only IS pounds Of goods out Of
100 pounds Of cotton, which will now
cost $14.OO.
Dividing this $14.00 by S5 it is
seen that the cost OF the cotton in a

1t is noteworthy that the recent res
olutions, passed by the Board Of Gov
ernors Of the American Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association and the execu-
tive committees of the various state
associations, did not demand reduc-
ton in the price of cotton, but called
for an advance in the price of cotton
goods and yarns.
In view of that fact the recent ut
terance Of President Barrett of the
Farmers Union. and the editorials in
Harvey Jordan's paper, the Cotton
Journal, of Atlanta, are in bad taste
